Ubuntu Usplash Smooth

[Martje_001]

I think I'm just plain stupid . If I try to compile it, I get:

Volanin, I would suggest you make a PPA in launchpad. This would make it easier for people to do wider testing and you may generate greater feedback.

Done!
You can get usplash-smooth via Ubuntu PPA here:
https://launchpad.net/~usplash-smooth/+archive

Looks like you messed up the upgrade from 0.1 to 0.2 a bit (see screenshot).
I'll try removing 0.1 manually.

That was intentional.
Version 0.1 had only the theme.
Version 0.2 had the theme and a library for every other theme creator, so the name of the package changed!

Since the name changed, it would not autoremove the prevous one.
So I had to make it conflict. Just uninstall manually as you did!

Nothing about 'themes included'...
Edit: aah, I see, I have to compile usplash-ubuntu again. Thank you, looks great!

There is no need to compile nothing!
Just install the package and a new theme will be installed for you!
But you made a VERY GOOD observation about the description!
So I updated it, thank you!


By the way.
This idea is in Ubuntu Brainstorm! Please vote for it!

Would this work w/ lilo ?

Sadly my SATA drive is unable to use grub

Sadly my SATA drive is unable to use grub

The boot loader makes no difference.
If usplash already works for you, then this will also work!

[gnrathon]

usplash doesnt show for me

any pointers on how to enable it

i have no clue

[volanin]

Check your lilo configuration.
There are two things that must be present:

1. The initrd image.
2. The "splash" kernel parameter.

An example configuration would be:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-8-generic
	label=linux
	root=/dev/sda1
	initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.27-8-generic
	append="quiet splash"
	read-only

[gnrathon]

i dont under stand

would "quite splash" disable the splash?


here is my lilo.conf file for reference:

# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
# read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
# map smaller.  Using `compact' is especially recommended when
# booting from a floppy disk.  It is disabled here by default
# because it doesn't always work.

# compact

# Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
# You have the choice between: text, bmp, and menu
# Look in lilo.conf(5) manpage for details
#
#install=menu

# Specifies the location of the map file
#
map=/boot/map

# You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
# in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
# be typed to boot anything but a default configuration.  If a
# command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
# statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well.  Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.
#
# password=tatercounter2000

# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
# wait before booting the first image.

delay=20

# You can put a customized boot message up if you like.  If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress.  `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
# `image' configurations below.  eg: You can press `1' to boot
# `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.

Here!
Just change the first "append=" instance of the configuration file:

# Kernel command line options that apply to all installed images go
# here.  See: The `boot-prompt-HOWTO' and `kernel-parameters.txt' in
# the Linux kernel `Documentation' directory.
#
# append=""

to this:
(uncomment the line and add the options)

# Kernel command line options that apply to all installed images go
# here.  See: The `boot-prompt-HOWTO' and `kernel-parameters.txt' in
# the Linux kernel `Documentation' directory.
#
append="quiet splash"

And don't forget to run lilo after saving the file:
$ sudo lilo

would "quite splash" disable the splash?

These are two different kernel options:

quiet: Be silent and do not display lots of text.
splash: Enable usplash progressbar.

I did exactly as you said and no success

i installed lilo through the ubuntu alternet CD if it helps

[volanin]

Oh, my bad.
I wrote:

append="quiet usplash"

But the correct option is:

append="quiet splash"

I already fixed it in the above post.
But fix it in your lilo.conf, and then rerun lilo!
Also, you might want to reinstall usplash, like this:

$ sudo aptitude reinstall usplash
$ sudo lilo

-----

If it still does not work, edit your /etc/usplash.conf and type this:

# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

xres=1024
yres=768

And after saving the file, run:

$ sudo update-initramfs -u
$ sudo lilo
