I installed splashutils and splash-themes-livecd-2007.0 and when I boot, during all the boot process the rotating icons are stuck on "Starting xdm" and it cycles on this icon. The first time I see the icon, it also shows "Starting xdm failed". xdm is started in default run level.

Experiencing the same isssue amd64 arch emerge -pv splashutils Calculating dependencies... done!

Same issue @1024x768... but I only see the gpm icon. I enabled splash on all consoles (# rc-update add splash default), and when I switch (Alt-F2/F1), I can see some other icons. Seems like the screen doesn't refresh or something... :-S
Same here... But mine is samba... :)
I've checked /sbin/splash-functions.sh, and it seems like it gets the right arguments when service is starting up, but it always update the icon with a single one... Could not find the cause.
Just found a clue in /var/log/portage/elog/media-gfx:splash-themes-livecd-2007.0_20070728-060800.log: ---- WARN: setup MNG support is missing from splashutils. You will not see the service icons as services are starting. ---- A reemerge of splashutils with the mng USE flag enabled seems to solve the bug...
I have mng... And the bug... :)
livecd: Will someone address this issue?
I would much more prefer I actually spend my time working on the upcoming release than trying to troubleshoot a problem with a splash theme. No offense, but it just isn't important in the grand scheme of things. My current plan is to try to make sure this doesn't happen again on the next release, but I have no time (nor interest) in working on this. Also, the livecd herd only maintains the ebuild. We have nothing to do with splashutils, or the theme itself.
...and what I meant to say but didn't is something along the lines of: We'll fix it if you find the problem, but can't spend the time on it ourselves due to its extremely low priority. Of course, patches are always welcome.
Created attachment 130319 [details, diff] Make sure icon positions are always integers. The current version of the livecd-2007.0 fails to calculate the correct icon positions and makes them fractional for some resolutions (e.g. 1400x1050, possibly others). The patch makes sure that doesn't happen. I'm not sure that this is the source of the problem here, but it's a good first step towards fixing it.
Thanks spock!!! It works!
Sweet. I'm not in the office today, but I'll fix this tomorrow. Thanks for the patch, Michal.
This is in the tree now.
