[Splashy-devel] Bug#410861: initscript does not detect "splash" boot parameter if splash is the last boot option

[Michael Biebl]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.1
Severity: normal

/etc/init.d/splashy contains:

grep -q -e '[[:space:]]splash\([[:space:]]+\|$\)' /proc/cmdline &&
ENABLE=1
grep -q -e '[[:space:]]nosplash\([[:space:]]+\|$\)' /proc/cmdline &&
ENABLE=0

If splash is the last boot parameter with no white space following, this
expression does not match, i.e. splash support is disabled although my
grub command line looks like "... vga=791 splash".

Cheers,
Michael
