rrqfsmithred: I updated the "branding bug" #576 for devuan-installer00:20
fsmithredfor efi boot?00:20
rrqyes UEFI system, server installation (no desktop)00:21
rrqthe grub splash is on desktop-base; maybe it should have its own package?00:22
fsmithreddon't break my brain00:42
fsmithredI think server people don't care about grub theme and probably prefer not to have it00:42
rrqmmm I would prefer that any Devuan installation is Devuan branded00:46
rrqand also that your brains stays intact of course :)00:47
fsmithreddoes branded mean more than saying "Devuan" in the boot menu?00:55
rrqI would say that that's enough... for UEFI it would mean firstly that the boot option says Devuan, then that the grub splash says Devuan; doesn't have to be a fancy splash (background)00:58
fsmithredjust putting a splash screen in /boot/grub and running update-grub will work00:58
fsmithredI'm not sure what happens if you add desktop-base later00:59
fsmithredI can test that00:59
golinuxDo I need to do the chimaera minimal-live splach?01:24
golinux-sh01:24
golinuxOr did I do it already01:25
fsmithredlast one you did was for beowulf point-release01:25
fsmithredso yes, you need to do that01:25
golinuxSo you will need it for chimaera 4.0.001:25
fsmithredI haven't made any live isos yet01:25
fsmithredwell, I made a couple the other day, but they weren't the devuan-live blends01:26
golinuxI want to be done with this.01:26
fsmithredstill experimenting with new version of live-sdk01:26
fsmithredso do I01:26
* golinux hears a collective groan . . .01:26
rrqthere is a devuan-chimaera-deepsea-bootscreen-iso-640x480.png for BIOS boot bot that doesn't propagate to the installed system01:29
rrqs/BIOS boot/installer/01:29
fsmithredok, here's what happens01:33
fsmithredno desktop-base, splash.png in /boot/grub, update-grub and you get the background image01:33
fsmithredthen add desktop-base, it runs update-grub and boot screen gets the full grub theme01:34
fsmithredas soon as it starts to boot, you see the previous bg image for half a second, then boot messages start scrolling01:34
fsmithredI don't think that's a show-stopper01:35
rrqok... and the UEFI boot option says Devuan? ... I suppose that only shows up in the UEFI setup01:35
fsmithredyeah, I don't have one right now01:36
fsmithredand I'm still using July 10 isos, I think01:36
rrqwith qemu UEFI, you come to it with "c" followed by "exit"01:37
rrq.. so the installer could copy its splash.png to the target to be the "bottom level" boot splash.. and then desktop buffs get the fancy one via desktop-base01:41
fsmithredyeah, I don't think too many people who start with the server iso will add desktop-base01:42
fsmithredand I suspect they would not be happy if we added it for them01:42
fsmithredbut boot splash is fine01:42
golinuxSent boot splash01:53
golinuxCompost time01:53
fsmithredgot it. thanks02:10
rrqfsmithred: installer ISOs, manual build, with splash.png10:09
rrqafaict the only thing remaining is the UEFI boot table entry where it's still named "debian".10:12
