Bug#356193: boot splash screen and progress bar support in Debian?

2006-07-24 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

What is the status of getting usplash and/or boot splash screen
suppport into Debian?  I tested usplash from ubuntu, and the only
issue to solve before it will work out of the box seem to be the
framebuffer enabling.  The code do enable it was moved from the
usplash package to the initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu, but seem to
be missing from the debian version of initramfs-tools.  Not quite sure
how to properly fix that for debian.

I've sent a few patches for usplash to Scott James Remnant, and hope
he will include them in a future version.  Nothing fancy, just adding
more sensible error messages which helped me figure out why usplash
was failing when I tested it without a working framebuffer. :)

I'll try to get usplash uploaded this week, along with a new version
of initscripts with progress bar support.

Friendly,

I've not taking care about it, had to do other live related things first.

Cool, feel free to hijack my ITP.

OK.  Know that problem. :)

I hope someone else can maintain it, as I probably only have time to a
stunt upload.

If anyone want to test the current draft, it is available from
URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/~pere/debian/packages/usplash_0.3-4debian1~1_i386.deb.
