Hi Melodie,

you must run switch-themes from a root account.

AS

I get the message "Can't call method "get_resolution" on an undefined value at -e line 1." in root console as well as root in tty, in my personal machine. I don't get it in the Edu install.

The other message above as user is only meant to see what this command does exactly:
Quote
switch-themes PCOBOX
rm: cannot remove `switch-themes PCOBOX
rm: cannot remove `/etc/sysconfig/bootsplash': Permission denied': Permission denied

if started as root, it removes "/etc/sysconfig/bootsplash".

then:
Quote
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/gfxboot/themes/current': Permission denied
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/share/gfxboot/themes/current/PCOBOX': Permission denied

if run as root it removes the "current" symbolic link which is pointing to the other theme, then recreates it in the desired direction.

So, before I was deleting and recreating the link manually, and had no idea that a "bootsplash" file was at work in /etc/sysconfig directory.

allright, I have also ideas about gfxboot after I went back to Lxde mini in vbox to inspect how it looks like in the cpio archive files "message". Neal has installed the LXDE gfxboot theme, and additionnally has copied his back.jpg and welcome.jpg in the PCLinuxOS theme directory ! :D (as well as his "message" archive to /usr/share/gfxboot/themes/PCLinuxOS/boot directory).

What about an additional symlink ? It could be of the same shape as the one in PCLinuxOS gfxboot theme.

Theme problem
« Reply #168 on: July 10, 2011, 08:33:34 AM »
Ok, I get a problem with the theme : Timeth, it looks like it's related to the name of the directories in the theme : when I invoked the "switch-theme <theme_name>", it has created a link to pclosedu_plymouth in the /usr/share/gfxboot/themes directory.

What I have now in /usr/share/gfxboot/themes:

Quote
current → pclosedu_plymouth (is a dead symlink)
PCLinuxOS/ (is the PCLinuxOS theme directory)
pclosedu_grub/ (is the PCLinuxOS Edu directory)

What to do ?
I changed the content of the files, name of files and directories to be all "pclosedu" then launch the command lines again to re-install the theme.

Code: [Select]
# plymouth-set-default-theme pclosedu --rebuild-initrd //thanks Timeth, for this option
Code: [Select]
# /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd //I suppose it could be the same as the option above ?
Code: [Select]
# switch-themes pclosedu
I'll do as Neal, so also copy the pclosedu message and image files to PCLinuxOS in replacement of the original ones (threads'n ropes...  ::) )

Then, remaster ! :D





I hope this will fix it all.

Regards,
Mélodie

How to fix the date in the Grub gfxboot ?
« Reply #172 on: July 10, 2011, 10:10:23 AM »
Hi,

The answer is in the sources.

I got the sources here: http://ftp.nluug.nl/ibiblio/distributions/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/SRPMS.main/

and looked into the tar.xz archive. Found this:

$ pwd //where am I ?

/home/melodie/Desktop/Gfxmenu-PCLinuxOS/pclinuxos-gfxboot-theme-4.1.19.18  //in the directory coming from the archive of the sources

Quote
$ grep -R "PCLinuxOS 2011" *
config:product=PCLinuxOS 2011
po/bootloader.pot:msgid "Boot PCLinuxOS 2011 "
po/bootloader.pot:msgid "Install PCLinuxOS 2011 "
po/bootloader.pot:msgid "Boot PCLinuxOS 2011 (safe mode)"
$


Now what to do ?

Get the binary files from the pclinuxos-gfxboot-theme, and use them to replace thoses from our actual theme, except the images. This concerns the files *.tr, *.hlp mainly.

I'll give news next...

Mélodie

Installed your latest in VirtualBox, as I don't have a spare box right now. Everything works. Apt has been upgraded and all desktop icons and menu items launch. The themes are really nice, all the way down to the bootsplash and login screens.

I changed the content of the files, name of files and directories to be all "pclosedu" then launch the command lines again to re-install the theme.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are the grub and plymouth themes working now? Why would there be a link to the plymouth theme folder in the gfxboot directory if you are running switch-themes from the /usr/share/plymouth/themes folder?

Hi Timeth,

I don't handle all the way about how it works, but one thing is sure is the the switch-theme accepts just 3 options:

Quote
$ switch-themes
     switch-themes OPTIONS THEMES

OPTIONS:
       -c:  Tell you the current themes
       -l:  List themes available.
       -u:  Update current theme.

Which means that when you use the "-l" switch it gives the list as it finds it. And it was giving me "pclosedu_plymouth". Then only I realized that it had created the symlink as I have shown above : in the gfxboot section.

So, comparing in Openbox desktop, where the theme name is everywhere "PCOBOX", and in Lxde desktop, where the theme name is everywhere "Lxde" (or LXDE ? I don't remember now but it's everywhere the exact same name) I could notice that we can't guess what did create the symlink. Apparently switch-theme takes care of doing what it necessary for the whole stuff to work, even in creating links in gfxboot based on the theme name in the plymouth section.

By changing the name all the way long to "pclosedu", in the plymouth files (*.plymouth and *.script, plus file names and directory names), it works.

I added an additional symlink that loops to itself, in /usr/share/gfxboot/themes/pclosedu, in the same way as I found the one in /usr/share/gfxboot/themes/PCLinuxOS. And did as Neal : have a copy of the theme image files both in pclosedu and in PCLinuxOS. ^^

Does that work ? I will let you discover, if you will download and install it. Do you have one or more young testers at home ? :)

Thank you very much for this wonderful theme ! I will ask someone to package it ! :D

Regards,
Mélodie

Jeff, johnston, and all willing to test : if you also test in real machines, could you tell me if you have any kind of issue ? Be it with the hardware, the shutdown, anything ? As you may have noticed in the description I put at the end of the first post, the kernel also is the newer version...

Thanks,

Running fine, fully updated in VirtualBox.   I'll install it to my HP Slimline and get back to you with any problems.
