Thank you very much, Uwe, but I simply cannot get the livecd themes to work. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Adapting your methodology-- because I don't use genkernel-- in |
| 13 |
combination with the wiki how-to, I compiled the initramfs into the |
| 14 |
kernel, and the kernel does boot with the livecd theme-- but the theme |
| 15 |
itself does not appear. This is an improvement, actually, as previously |
| 16 |
I would get a kernel panic with the silent theme selected. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Now I just get the same message that I got previously with the verbose |
| 19 |
splash: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
no 8bb picture selected in config file (twice) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
could not find silent image. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Haven't tried verbose yet as I've compiled this kernel 5 times today and |
| 26 |
I'd really like to give the new ati drivers a spin for a while. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
- copied most of the (working, afaik) emergence config file to the |
| 31 |
livecd config file; |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
- converted the images to 8bit and saved them with the proper names; |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
- put the full path to the images in the config file; |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
- converted the "32-bit" images from .png to .jpg |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
None of it works. The images cannot be found. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I really don't know what else I can do, nor even what to file for a bug, |
| 42 |
as I have no clue what's wrong. I've looked in the forums (nothing), and |
| 43 |
the only partially relevant bug on b.g.o was marked invalid, being about |
| 44 |
a 'non-standard' resolution (1280x800), whereas my issue is with a |
| 45 |
standard resolution (1280x1024). |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I really don't want to bother Spock with this, since it seems to be a |
| 48 |
problem limited to me-- but honestly, what could it be? |

P.S, oh btw, thanks for the instructions about setting up a GRUB theme |
| 53 |
(which I have done, although using different instructions from yours, as |
| 54 |
yours didn't mention that the image must be created with certain |
| 55 |
constraints), but what I had said was that I needed a matching *GDM* |
| 56 |
theme :) . Not that it matters, since I have no splash to tie the GRUB |
| 57 |
theme to any future matching GDM theme anyway.... |
