Guest weeguy Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 (edited) Hi, finally took the leap and installed Mandrake 10 onto my newly acquired ibm thinkpad x31.. installation was not without problems (failed to setup my screen settings properly and got it right after the 2nd install).. anyway, got my x31 to dual boot winxp pro and mandrake 10.. hahaz.. did some updating of the kernel to 2.6.7 from the preloaded 2.6.3.. however, once i did that, the booting and shutdown sequences switched over to verbose mode(showing all the text)... how do i get it to revert back to the silent mode(shown below)? Was looking around and realised that i might have to get bootsplash from http://www.bootsplash.org and patch the kernel source, compile it and reinstall the kernel right?

arctic Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 did you update your kernel from source or via the mandrake-mirrors? i would recommend to reinstall bootsplash via urpmi first (urpmi bootsplash), because it can be that the bootsplash-linking was overwritten/(deleted) during the kernel update.

Germ Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I tried that and everything else I could think of. Never could get a bootsplash with 2.6.7-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazeman Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Open up a terminal, su to root and run draksplash. In there select a theme you want to use and Apply the changes then close it. Voilla..... BTW verify your "vga=" line in /etc/lilo.conf contains the correct value for your display and splash settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest weeguy Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 got the following error when i tried draksplash.. is there any other package i have to install before using draksplash? "Can't locate object method "new_text" via package "Gtk2::ComboBox" (perhaps you forgot to load "Gtk2::ComboBox"?) at /usr/sbin/draksplash line 393."

spiedra Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Try doing a search for Gtk2::ComboBox in your package manager and install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
