Need to edit init.d!!!

**locs4dayz** · 01-14-2010, 11:32 AM

I have been trying to get my usplash to stop dropping to a shell during start up and shut down. What do I need to edit in my init.d to make this happen?

Here is what my init.d looks like...

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: usplash
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Integrate usplash into the boot process
# Description: This script deals with some awkward details of integrating
# the userspace bootsplash screen into the boot process. On
# start it stops the usplash daemon (counter-intuitive, but
# usplash was already started in the initramfs); on stop, it
# calls usplash_down (unless usplash is already running).
### END INIT INFO
#
# The usplash script makes sure that usplash exits at the end of
# the boot sequence and re-run the console-screen.sh script to make
# sure that the console fonts are actually set

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

usplash_down() {
# first some sanity checks if we actually have usplash on the system
#
# check if usplash is runing and if it does, exit it
# then re-run console-screen.sh because it can't set console-fonts
# properly while the screen is in graphics mode
#
# also check if we are ended up in console 8. This means that
# no gdm/kdm/xdm was started (otherwise we would be on vt7).
# It happens when e.g. usplash timed out
if type setupcon >/dev/null 2>&1; then
CONSOLE_SCREEN=
elif [ -x /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh ]; then
CONSOLE_SCREEN="/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh start"
else
CONSOLE_SCREEN=
fi
if type usplash >/dev/null 2>&1 &&
( pidof usplash > /dev/null || [ "$(fgconsole 2>/dev/null)" = "8" ] ); then
# Clear VT 8 of any console messages
clear >/dev/tty8

#ask usplash to go away
usplash_write quit

#wait until it is really gone or kill it if it dosn't exit
i=0
while pidof usplash > /dev/null; do
i=$(($i + 1))
if [ $i -gt 100 ]; then
kill -9 `pidof usplash`

}

case "$1" in

fi

hi lock4days,
you have to change

case "$1" in
start)
#usplash_down
;;
stop)

to

case "$1" in
start)
usplash_down
;;
stop)

i'll remember you to rename S98usplash (if exist) to S01usplash either in rc2.d and in rc3.d

Once this issue is resolved my install will be 100% as far as I can tell for now. Everything else is working(thanks to n2o_2k)!!

Will try this...Thank you!

Do I change in rc4.d and rc5.d also???

UPDATE: No change...worth the try though...I guess!?!?

sorry in the previous post i've made a mistake...
you have to give these commands:
sudo update-rc.d -f usplash remove
sudo update-rc.d usplash 01 S . 01 0 1 6

the 1st one is to remove previous settings t 2nd one to make usplash the 1st thing to start

No change. System starts with usplash running, then after a few seconds it disappears and the rest of the boot process is in verbose mode(just when the system gets to "setting preliminary keymap"). So I guess its not actually dropping to a shell, rather it doesn't finish the whole boot process in GUI mode...how do I fix???

**nemocrk** · 01-15-2010, 11:06 AM

have you done both the modify?
either /etc/init.d/usplash and update-rc.d ?
if so try the command:
/etc/init.d/usplash start and tell me what's up.

Yes to both questions!

Do you mean to rename usplash to usplash start?

I am still in the learning process of linux so bear with me. I'm assuming that this is supposed to be done in terminal with the "sudo usplash" command?

This is what I got...

root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m# sudo usplash
usplash: can't get console font: Invalid argument
bogl_init failed: EXPLODE

screen init failed
root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m#

So then I tried this and got this...

root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m# /etc/init.d/usplash start
root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m#

Then tried this and got...

root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m# sudo usplash start
root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m#

Then tried this and got...

root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m# usplash start
root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m#

Then tried this and got...

root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m# sudo /etc/init.d/usplash start
root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m#

Then tried this and got...

root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m# sudo usplash -c
bogl_init failed: EXPLODE

screen init failed
root@Chrysler300m-desktop:/home/chrysler300m#

Is This the way I'm supposed to do it? Keep in mind that when I start my system the usplash is there with the progress bar moving side to side but doesn't remain for the entire boot process!!
