Hi all,<br><br>I've been able to build and use Splashy successfully in Arch Linux.<br><a href="http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=10211">http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=10211
</a></blockquote><div><br><br>Great news <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Almost everything works except for one little thing... Verbose mode.
<br>How do I actually switch to verbose mode and back? Is this handled by<br>Splashy natively or does this require some sort of script? I've tried<br>hitting the F2 and the ESC keys but they just don't work.</blockquote>
<div><br><br>Make sure that the theme you are using has verbose mode enabled /etc/splashy/themes/NAME/theme.xml <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Also, when I call "splashy_update exit" when some init script fails,<br>Splashy does really terminate. However, how do I "clear" Splashy from<br>the screen so that I can see what's happening in the background.
</blockquote><div><br><br>splashy_update exit should do that for you. Splashy should be running on tty8 or higher, and nothing should be really going on on that tty.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Another thing... Are the "things" we see on the top of the screen<br>normal (known issue)? To make my statement clearer, I'll quote a<br>comment from the AUR page:<br><br>"when I boot my pc and start kdm, I see lines in the top of the
<br>screen. When I restart kdm, the lines disappear."</blockquote><div><br><br>This might happen if X starts while Splashy is running. Make sure that the progressbar of Splashy reaches 100% (and exits) before any X program starts (kdm, gdm, startx). I believe that's now in /lib/splashy/rw or so. Make sure the steps are correct.
