[opensuse] lost splash screen
After a lot of tracking about having multiboot with vista, Xp, openSUSE 10.3 and USB :-))) I had lot of problems, now solved :-) but still one is not solved: I have no more the green screen during boot/shut down. my grub config is done by YaST, have the splash=silent and the message is 386Ko I can live without this, but my machine is a demo one and the green screen is smartier :-)) what makes me upset is that I have this screen if I load from the dvd, but don't know how to keep it back on usual boot thanks to your help :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi, I'm pretty much noob, so I'm kind of afraid to write things here, but have you checked if in /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash file you have THEME="SuSE" and SPLASH="yes". And you also need to run mk_initrd being root. I remember that helped me. If I'm saying bad things, I hope guys here will correct me :) Cheers! -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, PhD Student @ Department of Physics & Astronomy, Faculty of Science, University of Waterloo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I didn't, have done now and all is normal And you also need to run mk_initrd being
root.
tryed also without lick I remember that helped me.

nothing bad, I didn't know of these, thanks remembering me. in fact I suspect an error in the message file where is the original message boot file?? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

:-) ok. I used to play around without even knowing what I'm doing (which made me re-install system regularly), so I'm not sure if the stuff I know is correct. But, yes, you're right... I guess posting it will be the way to find that out.

/var/log/boot.msg, you can see it running "dmesg", or Yast -> Miscellaneous -> Start-Up Log Sergey -- Sergey Mkrtchyan, PhD Student @ Department of Physics & Astronomy, Faculty of Science, University of Waterloo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, the most recent 64k of it. If the internal buffer overflows, you start losing the oldest part of it. I just do $ su password: # more /var/log/boot.msg

warning... :-) I speak about splash screen, so this is /boot/message, not the log :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

my grub config is done by YaST, have the splash=silent and the message is 386Ko Make sure you have a gfxmenu line in your menu.lst file. Mine says gfxmenu (hd0,4)/boot/message
