Slackware :: 13.1 - Forget Splashy Get Bootsplash

Sep 9, 2010I have installed Ubuntu 10.04. But I don't have a 'bootsplash'/start up screen like this: [URL]... All I have is a blank screen. How do I fix it? Shouldn't it just be there by default? Do I need to install anything extra, like usplash or something? Also exactly what Google apps are available for Linux/Ubuntu now? I read somewhere Google Desktop Search was available. This would rock, as having tried Beagle in the past and not having been all that impressed with it (it lacked the feel of real OS level integration and always just seemed to run like a separate app.), I would be hopeful that Google Desktop search would work a bit better. Has anyone tied it? What's your view? Now that Mac and Windows both have advanced Desktop search integration, it seems that search (or specifically pre-built-in integrated search) is one area where Gnome is still seriously lacking.

Apr 17, 2009I just compiled a bootsplash-patched kernel 2.6.21. Everything seems to be working fine, except the bootsplash When I boot up, nothing special happens. The console font is unusually large, but I boot into KDE with no problems, and no bootsplash. What could I have done wrong?

Apr 22, 2011I've been running 11.4 for a few weeks with the nvidia driver from the repos. I read somewhere that 'nomodeset' should be added to the kernel line in menu.lst, so I added this manually. However, on rebotting my bootsplash had disappeared. I've since read that I actually didn't need this setting with the repo version of the driver so I removed it, but still no bootsplash.

Ubuntu :: Improve Boot Time And Bootsplash
Jul 13, 2010I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and although I had some problems initially, everything works fine now. I'm just bragging about that. I do have some strange "issues" with my boot. I know that Ubuntu is supposed to boot with only plymouth visible, but before I see plymouth I have a fairly long period of time when I see nothing but a console cursor (a.k.a. caret) blinking. I'm no expert in reading bootchart charts, so I'm attaching it for some feedback. I have no idea how and what to optimize.
My boot is ~40 secs as noted on the bootchart, but it would be nice to cut some fat if possible. Also, my StartUp-Manager is displaying some veeery long boot options. It doesn't look nice. I guess he's reading /boot/grub/grub.cfg but I don't think I'm supposed to see all that. my boot and shutdown screens are very low res and very ugly, often flickering on updates. I have 10.04 setup at work as a web test platform on a very old/crappy PC (Intel GFX) and bootsplash looks much nicer than on my home laptop.

Jul 17, 201010.04 - 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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 11.04 - Hangs On Boot - Stopping Userspace Bootsplash
May 5, 2011I was facing trouble getting my second monitor to even get detected (GeForce GTX 260) so out of desperation i apt-get'd nvidia-glx-179 drivers, I then used Jockey to enable that driver.
Since then, whenever Ubuntu tries to boot, it kills itself. And this is the process:
I power up the tower, the screen goes that nice brown shade as I wait for the graphical ubuntu logo to show me its loading, when it eventually does it very quickly cuts into a full screen not-really-interactive terminal window that shows the boot hanging at random spots in the boot process. Theres no clear pattern. At the time of writing, it hangs on "setting sensors limits" after "Starting AppArmor Profiles".
Im going to restart again, This time it hung up at "Checking battery state..." im going to restart again, Hung up at "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned" Ill restart again, Hung up at "Stopping userspace bootsplash"
As much fun as this is, I have a website to develop and this is seriously setting me back. All i wanted was to display the site on my second monitor so i didnt have to swap window depths in rapid succession. This is.. more trouble than it seems to be worth... How do i NOT lose my data?
Its worth noting that all the lines say "OK" next to them, not one mentions a fail of any sort.
When i Ctrl+C to break out, it doesnt, just gives me ^C
OpenSUSE Install :: No Bootsplash/console Background After Kernel Update
May 16, 2011Recently I did a kernel update (compiling it manually with help of SuSE Automatic Kernel Compiler). Everything works fine and I am happy with my own settings, however there is one thing that I would to enable. On the stock kernel there is a openSUSE bootsplash on startup and a nice looking openSUSE background image in console mode. On my newly compiled kernel there is no such a eyecandies. My question is: How to enable them on my own compiled 2.6.38 kernel?
P.S In the attachment you can see what i mean with that background image in console mode, so you get my point. This is the image found on the internet, my system is openSUSE 11.4 (64 bit)

I cant get X to start, once I put in a xorg.conf stating to use the nvidia card.

Aug 22, 2010I recently installed Slackware Linux 13.1 , and my Wireless is down. I've only installed 3 Linux disto's on my main laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 , 10.04 , and Crunchbang Linux 9.04 , just had Crunchbang), and they all had the same problem. In all three , I was able to enable Windows Wireless drivers and every thing worked. Now , I'm assuming I have to the same ting in Slackware? Sorry , but I have no idea what my wireless card is. But I know that my laptop is a Dell Insprion E1705. One last thing , I did ifconfig and that wlan0 is my Wi-Fi interface. I typed ifconfig wlan0 up to see if that was the problem. After I did that , I got and error message. Then I typed ifconfig wlan0 down to see if it was down and it made wlan0 down. I tried bringing it up again , but I got an error saying it couldn't find the device specified. Also , how do I install XFCE? I really don't like KDE for some reason and would like to install XFCE. I chose XFCE over GNOME (my favorite) because I want to try something new.

Jan 6, 2010I'm happy to announce Linvo 2009.1 rc6. It's a full-featured Linux distribution with a lot of applications by default, including an office suite (OpenOffice.org extended with plugins), a good internet browser (Firefox extended with plugins), a music player that supports music collection and a lot more - Exaile, a video player, and all the available codecs. It can open all types of file formats. It's a LiveCD, which means that you can test it without installing and after this optionally install it - it has a nice easy graphical installer.
It's the first Slackware-based LiveCD distribution with GNOME by default. It includes NetworkManager and initng in place of sysvinit. It also features accessibility tools. It is also the first release with the innovative portable applications system. This allows you to download application from the site (modules section), place it where you like, and use it. It's just a single file, no directories. You can also use this application without installing it, directly from the internet. However, after this, the speed of the application is limited by the speed of your connection, of course. Check out the "Applications" section on the website.
Besides this, you can install software with the apt-get-like system "slapt-get" and it's graphical front-end: GSlapt. It also contains src2pkg and sbopkg in case you want to compile something from source or existing SlackBuild Depfinder is included to find dependencies of packages. Click here for a guide on how to use those. I also managed to put development tools in there, like GCC, G++, svn, cvs, so on... This is a release candidate, and despite that it's OK for using. It has a bit more things to do until the release (like language selection on the boot menu), but I decided that it's important to put it here for testing.
