Debian :: Not Starting After Installing Splashy ?
Mar 2, 2011
After installing and configuring splashy, my system doesn't start. There appears the image of the theme I selected with splashy (which is the debian logo and a loading bar), but the bar doesn't load and it appears for just a second and then there's a black screen. When pressing F2 for text mode, it just stays at *Starting Boot splash manager splashy and nothing happens
BTW I use grub2 what can I do? should I edit /boot/grub/grub.conf? (I supose the file is there, isn't it?)
I thought i would be able to access and modify the files on my system with an ubuntu live cd, but I couldn't, is there another way to access the grub files to modify them if I can't boot debian? (and I don't have another OS installed)

After getting lots of problems with usplash, I removed id and installed splashy on my Debian/sid box, but could not start splashy.
I got the following error:
I tried to open [url] but for some reason I was not able.

I saw something like "depmod not found for the splashy to work" in the boot message. I enabled the boot log, but the message is still not recorded.

I'm using a Debian lenny with kernel 2.6.26-2-686 without desktop and with splashy installed.
Inside /etc/rc2.d/ I've a link to launch a full screen opengl application (a game). After several minutes the X crash.
To try a little this issue, instead of launching my app, I tried to launch "xinit glxgears" using a link in /etc/rc2.d. After 5 reboots, the glxgears crashes 5 times with the same dmesg message.
If I uninstall splashy or instead of launching glxgears using a link in /etc/rc2.d I launch it from the console, the crash never happens.
I'm using:
following message appears in dmesg after the crash:

I have installed splashy from sid. Rest of the system is squeeze, and put the parameter "vga=791 splash quiet" in the kernel parameter...
Unfortunately this is not working properly. It does load the splash image as intended, but it then just hangs here, and does not load the OS unless I press enter. (I asume that something is hangning, but I cannot see the shell from here, and ctrl+f2-f6 is not working so I cannot get to any tty).
Then after boot, I can only see the / partition. But not /home. Duing a fdisk -l shows up the partitions, so they are there, just not mounted at boot?
If I press F2 at boot, before the image shows up, it does actually boot without any issues at all. It must be something with the image loading that is causing this.

Does splashy work on slackware 13.1 x64? I've been to Alien Bob's site only to find out that splashy is supported for slackware 12.0.

10.04 - Installing splashy fails and consequently makes kpackagekit completely unuseable. Attempting to fix this with aptitude or 'sudo dpkg --force-overwrite --install' or 'sudo apt-get -f install' (as suggested elsewhere) brings me no joy either. Is there a fix so I can remove splashy and repair kpackagekit? How do I kill splashy so i can repair kpackagekit?

I just installed debian 8.0.0..I installed it without "desktop-environment" during tasksel, but instead installed it with "sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-core" atferwards.I want x-win to be present but I do not want it to start during boot.
Adding "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=text" to the grub config used to work but for this new debian it does not change anything. Yes, I did do update-grub2 after editing the grub file, and I also confirmed in /var/log/messages that "text" is present with the kernel command. "sudo update-rc.d gdm3 remove" also has no effect,what I do gnome starts at boot time.

I have installed Debian 5.0.4 on a 600Mhz iMac G3. When booting the usual text scrolls down the screen and then the screen goes blank. Cont-Opt-F1 gives me a terminal window. X is apparently configured and running since 'startx' returns the usual something about -1 error message. I am newly returned to the terminal window after years of GUI slackitude and I am not able to get either GNOME or KDE to come up. Is there some file I should be editing (sudo nano /fixthisthing) I feel like I am swimming in the right ocean, I just haven't spotted the island yet. The learning curve on Linux is pretty steep but I have managed to make the password deal quit making me change passwords at every, single, solitary, login, so I am not a total feeb. Some hints on navigating the file system wouldn't hurt either.

I've tried "rename" off the right context menu in XFE (ver. 1.32.1)
I've tried Krename.
I've tried quoting;
$ mv ' Outlander - 2009.avi' 'Outlander - 2009.avi'
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory
I've tried escaping;
$ mv Outlander - 2009.avi Outlander - 2009.avi
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory
I've tried forgetting about it & hoping it will go away...

I am running Lenny, but I wanted to use a newer version of rtorrent, so I am running it via schroot. I have an init.d script from the rtorrent website that would automatically start rtorrent on boot, but now I am running rtorrent through schroot, it doesn't work anymore.I believe it may be something in my rc.# folders. I seem to remember adding a command to end all schroot sessions when shutting down the ompur, and I was thinking that it might be interfering with rtorrent starting correctly.Any tips on how I troubleshoot this? Here's a file listing of my rc2.d folder:
README S16openvpn
S20cups S20noip2
S20rtorrent S24dhcdbd S89anacron
[code]....

The question - before searching and reading - was "how is it done? (see subject)"The question now is - "am I interpreting it correctly?"It seems that basically 3 things need to be done:place a copy of the startup script in /etc/init.d;in rc?.d, define symbolic links to the startup script run chkconfig or insserv to activate the script.

"When first starting, the shell inspects argument 0, and if it begins with a dash '-', the shell is also considered a login shell" - from the dash man page. Could someone please explain this to me in a way that I actually understand?

I have my secreensaver just set to black screen after 10min but I had to disable it because the black screen starts up while watching recorded TV & videos on VLC. I don't usually install "gnome" or gnome-desktop-base or whatever it is. I always install "gnome-core" only. Squeeze has the screensaver installed with the gnome-core package by default so I can't leave it out like I usually do as this screensaver issue has been a problem for me since Sarge. So, now that I have to deal with this,

When starting vmwareplayer I get this error:
Unable to start services
See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-22433.log for details.
Here is the output of the log:
What do I need to do to get this working? I think this might be a newer version than the one which was working before.

I'm trying to sync my clock. I think I would like to do this by the "ntpd" daemon running. I think it should start up on boot, but it doesn't.
I have the following in my /var/log/syslog:
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpd[1780]: ntpd 4.2.6p2@1.2194-o Sun Oct 17 13:45:13 UTC 2010 (1)
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpd[1781]: proto: precision = 0.634 usec
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpd[1781]: unable to bind to wildcard address 0.0.0.0 - another process may be running - EXITING
Jul 18 23:44:14 neo ntpdate[1194]: step time server 72.26.125.125 offset -0.505108 sec
Other posts say if ntpd and ntpdate run too close together, they cause one to think the other is locking a resource. It works to type "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" to manually update the clock. My Debian version is squeeze (6.0.2)
It works to start the ntpd daemon manually:
... sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start
... Starting NTP server: ntpd.
