hello all, I just installed candidate-25 of 8.2.1, and while it works flawlessly in my limited testing, DebXO doesn't like prettyboot. I've tried creating an initscript to echo 0 to /sys/devices/platform/dcon/freeze, locating it in /etc/init.d, and creating an appropriately named symlink in /etc/rc5.d, but to no avail. I then copied z-disable-bootanim (or some such name) from the 8.2.1 build and replaced my dcon_off init script with it, but that didn't work either. Running either one on its own does the trick.
Workarounds: 1 - hold down the check key when booting to disable prettyboot. 2 - after debxo boots (basically wait 2 minutes), press ctrl-alt-f2, type 'root', hit enter, then the root password (if one is set) and hit enter, then carefully type 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/dcon/freeze', and hope you didn't make any spelling mistakes. if it doesn't work, hit ctrl-alt-f3 and try everything from the login-on again :) Humble suggestion: do not freeze the dcon if booting off an SD card. most non-olpc distributions won't know to unfreeze the dcon as part of the boot process. I have to be up early, so I'm giving up for now. let me know if I am just overlooking something simple, that would be wonderful yours, Bobby p.s. there is a small possibility that you have to echo '1', not '0', it is late, and I'm typing this on my other computer. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
