zenity script

[Neal ManBear]

I think I figured it out. This part of the script

Code: [Select]

  if [ ! -d $HOME/.plymouth ]; then mkdir -p $HOME/.plymouth; fi
  ln -fs /usr/share/plymouth/themes/$PLY_SELECT/$PLY_SELECT.plymouth $HOME/.plymouth/default
fi

needs to be changed to put the default file in /usr/share/plymouth/themes. I think.

[Neal ManBear]

Adding in

Code: [Select]

echo "$HOME/.plymouth/default" | switch-themes
should do the switch, if I have the correct script form here; i.e.

Code: [Select]

echo "This is the input" | the_other_script.sh 

I'm not used to calling another script from a script, though, so I may have this completely wrong.

[tschommer]

Good to hear that the script works! 

Calling a second script is just like

Code: [Select]

echo "now i'm in script1 and will call script2"
/<some path>/script2
echo "script2 has finished and i'm back in script1"
Fingers crossed...

Hi Neal,
for what you need it?

The themes at last works for me perfectly...

I'm trying to create a GUI for changing between plymouth boot themes.

That's sound good 
With the help from tschommer, that will work 

[Neal ManBear]

Testing now.

[Neal ManBear]

Another failed test.

[daniel]

Can i get the actually script?

[Neal ManBear]

Been working on it. Again. But I will attach it as it is at the moment.

[Neal ManBear]

Another one that failed. Attached.

[daniel]

heavy, i can now see the window Select a Plymouth Theme,
but no files inside 

[Neal ManBear]

Try the last script I posted.

[daniel]

I try it, by me it's comes nothing, only with words

This program will change your plymouth bootsplash theme to the theme of your choice!

Do you wish to continue with the theme switch?

when i click ok, nothing is gone.

I changed a little, so i can see the Listbox without entries 

Thinking, there is no filelist generated...

[Neal ManBear]

I get a list of my installed plymouth themes with the attached script, though it doesn't change it.

[daniel]

okay, with your latest script, i get the list, too 
but the info Plymouth theme unchanged. will not display, commando not found 

[Neal ManBear]

Yea, that's what I get. I've rewritten that part of the script so many times, I've lost count. Still, I think this will be useful to our users, so I'll continue to try.
