How does Splashy works? Read this from: How it works What do I need to run Splashy (aka Requisites) First of all, you need to have Splashy installed. Either do this through some package for your distro or follow this link. Also make sure you are running a 2.6 (or newer) kernel.

Jun 11 2006 By: weinzierl-guest Unsatisfied with the looks of usplash and the tediousness of fbsplash splashy seems to be what I am looking for for quite a while. Thanks for that great piece of software, I hope it will replace usplash in ubunutu soon.

Notes on Gentoo DirectFB-0.9.25.1 The only errors I saw in the build process was with directfb build with the sysfs USE flag. Make sure you build DirectFB with USE=”-sysfs” echo dev-libs/DirectFB -sysfs >>/etc/portage/package.use Check this link for more info.

history

Early Beginnings Splashy was spawned from the idea of creating a system that didn't require to patch the kernel in order to show an image with a progress bar while the system boots. This idea in turn came from the now venerable project bootsplash. We created debsplash port of bootsplash on Alioth so that Debian can have a native boot splash package. That project was quickly replaced with gensplash's patch (gentoo for those of you who don't know). We quickly abandoned gensplash as well because …

Booting First of all your PC boots using a bootloader such as grub or lilo. The bootloader then loads and runs a kernel and possibly an initrd. Splashy from initrd * The initrd is uncompressed into a ramdisk (ExamineInitrdContents) and starts to run the init command (a shell script). * This creates directories in the ramdisk and does some temporary RAM filesystem setup. * Then it runs udev (etc/udev/udev.conf) and sets up some script functions (scripts/functions) for the init scrip…

Note: Splashy does not yet works with DirectFB version 1.2 and up Splashy is usually distributed as a static binary. So, in most cases, it requires no more than just the GNU standard C library (glibc). Other requirements: * A video card * A kernel with framebuffers support (that's the default in almost all Linux distributions) * Linux users must use a 2.6 kernel

Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 7,011 Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 1.55 (18.55) (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05)) Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 0.63 (7.58) (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 …

Notes This page applies to Splashy 0.3.6 and older. Real Life issues have kept me from refreshing it to apply to 0.3.8. I have a mental flowchart for a helper script that you can call from the initrd's init that will guestimate the progress bar, and if anyone wants to discuss it, they can contact me on splashy-devel. -mwalling

Splashy theme handling abilities is superb! Splashy offers XML based themes that can be tested against a well known schema. This is one of the best features of Splashy. Changing a theme is a simple as: * edit /etc/splashy/config.xml * (optional) update initramfs initrd file

tips

2009-01-07T06:15:09+00:00

Splashy from the very start (initramfs) To run Splashy from initramfs you need to create a new initramfs image. An initramfs image is a little system that is launched during the kernel's initalization, before the system starts. During Splashy's installation Splashy sets everything up so you can get it integrated into initramfs whenever you wish by just running a single command.
