DieTer-Xz Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) Hi Using Mandriva 2007.1, after a kernel update, my basic bootsplash theme disappeared (the basic orange background Mandriva-One theme). It is still in /usr/share/bootsplash/themes and in /etc/bootsplash/themes though, but in the control centre the bootsplash list is completely empty. All the "current" link files in /usr/share/bootsplash/themes and in /etc/bootsplash/themes give an error: erro while loading /usr/share/bootsplash/current or /etc/bootsplash/themes/current/current: /usr/share/bootsplash/current or /etc/bootsplash/themes/current/current doesn't exist. When I boot now, I get a bootsplash with a black background and Tux at the top. I do not know where this theme comes from. I am using GRUB. How do I get the basic Mandriva-One bootsplash theme back? menu.lst ---------- timeout 10 color black/cyan yellow/cyan gfxmenu (hd0,4)/boot/gfxmenu default 0 title Windows XP root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 title Mandriva 2007 Spring (Kernel 2.6.21.5) kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21.5-1mdv BOOT_IMAGE=Mandriva_2007_Spring_(Kernel_26 root=/dev/hda5 resume=/dev/hda7 splash=verbose vga=791 initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd-2.6.21.5-1mdv.img /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash ----------------------------- # -*- Mode: shell-script -*- # Specify here if you want add the splash logo to initrd when # generating an initrd.

AussieJohn Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 You have somehow unintentionally selected Grub with text instead of with gui. Open MCC got to boot and select Set up how the system boots and then select Grub with gui menu in there. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieTer-Xz Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Nope, GRUB with graphical menu is selected. Don't forget Tux! He's there watching me so no text-only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 In grub's menu.lst file, set splash=verbose to splash=silent Which is the default setting for a graphical bootscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 You are right Arctic. Forgot that part because I do it automatically whenever I do an install. The two points go together. :D :D Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieTer-Xz Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hi, I tried that, it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardp Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 In grub's menu.lst file, set splash=verbose to splash=silent Which is the default setting for a graphical bootscreen. Sorry to be replying to an older thread, but I have a similar problem. After installing Mandriva 2008 One, after it gets past the GRUB (with graphical menu), it eventually displays: Splash (something) not found. I looked in menu.lst and "splash=" is not in any of the three entries (linux, failsafe, desktop586). Can splash=silent be added anywhere or at the end in these lines? timeout 10 color black/cyan yellow/cyan gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/gfxmenu default 0 title linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-desktop586 BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=/dev/hda1 resume=/dev/hda3 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-desktop586.img title failsafe kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe root=/dev/hda1 failsafe initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title desktop586 2.6.22.12-1 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.12-desktop586-1mdv BOOT_IMAGE=desktop586_2.6.22.12-1 root=/dev/hda1 resume=/dev/hda3 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.22.12-desktop586-1mdv.img Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardp Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) It says: Looking for splash system... none This is with splash=silent at the end of the "kernel" lines above in menu.lst and also without that in the lines. timeout 10 color black/cyan yellow/cyan gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/gfxmenu default 0 title linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-desktop586 BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=/dev/hda1 resume=/dev/hda3 splash=silent initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-desktop586.img title failsafe kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=failsafe root=/dev/hda1 failsafe initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd.img title desktop586 2.6.22.12-1 kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.12-desktop586-1mdv BOOT_IMAGE=desktop586_2.6.22.12-1 root=/dev/hda1 resume=/dev/hda3 splash=silent initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.6.22.12-desktop586-1mdv.img Both bootsplash and bootsplash-themes are also installed.

Guest pgjohnson6 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 hi edwardp, i am having the same problem with mandriva 2008.0. from these posts i can not tell whether you resolved this issue. if you did can you let me know. pgjohnson6. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardp Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I was able to resolve the issue I had. I am guessing that something did not save at first. When I went into the Boot menu in the Control Center, I re-selected the same Theme that it had been using at the time, then re-saved that selection. At the next bootup, everything appeared fine.
