| rrq | fsmithred: I updated the "branding bug" #576 for devuan-installer | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| fsmithred | for efi boot? | 00:20 |
| rrq | yes UEFI system, server installation (no desktop) | 00:21 |
| rrq | the grub splash is on desktop-base; maybe it should have its own package? | 00:22 |
| fsmithred | don't break my brain | 00:42 |
| fsmithred | I think server people don't care about grub theme and probably prefer not to have it | 00:42 |
| rrq | mmm I would prefer that any Devuan installation is Devuan branded | 00:46 |
| rrq | and also that your brains stays intact of course :) | 00:47 |
| fsmithred | does branded mean more than saying "Devuan" in the boot menu? | 00:55 |
| rrq | I 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 |
| fsmithred | just putting a splash screen in /boot/grub and running update-grub will work | 00:58 |
| fsmithred | I'm not sure what happens if you add desktop-base later | 00:59 |
| fsmithred | I can test that | 00:59 |
| golinux | Do I need to do the chimaera minimal-live splach? | 01:24 |
| golinux | -sh | 01:24 |
| golinux | Or did I do it already | 01:25 |
| fsmithred | last one you did was for beowulf point-release | 01:25 |
| fsmithred | so yes, you need to do that | 01:25 |
| golinux | So you will need it for chimaera 4.0.0 | 01:25 |
| fsmithred | I haven't made any live isos yet | 01:25 |
| fsmithred | well, I made a couple the other day, but they weren't the devuan-live blends | 01:26 |
| golinux | I want to be done with this. | 01:26 |
| fsmithred | still experimenting with new version of live-sdk | 01:26 |
| fsmithred | so do I | 01:26 |
| * golinux hears a collective groan . . . | 01:26 | |
| rrq | there is a devuan-chimaera-deepsea-bootscreen-iso-640x480.png for BIOS boot bot that doesn't propagate to the installed system | 01:29 |
| rrq | s/BIOS boot/installer/ | 01:29 |
| fsmithred | ok, here's what happens | 01:33 |
| fsmithred | no desktop-base, splash.png in /boot/grub, update-grub and you get the background image | 01:33 |
| fsmithred | then add desktop-base, it runs update-grub and boot screen gets the full grub theme | 01:34 |
| fsmithred | as soon as it starts to boot, you see the previous bg image for half a second, then boot messages start scrolling | 01:34 |
| fsmithred | I don't think that's a show-stopper | 01:35 |
| rrq | ok... and the UEFI boot option says Devuan? ... I suppose that only shows up in the UEFI setup | 01:35 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I don't have one right now | 01:36 |
| fsmithred | and I'm still using July 10 isos, I think | 01:36 |
| rrq | with 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-base | 01:41 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I don't think too many people who start with the server iso will add desktop-base | 01:42 |
| fsmithred | and I suspect they would not be happy if we added it for them | 01:42 |
| fsmithred | but boot splash is fine | 01:42 |
| golinux | Sent boot splash | 01:53 |
| golinux | Compost time | 01:53 |
| fsmithred | got it. thanks | 02:10 |
| rrq | fsmithred: installer ISOs, manual build, with splash.png | 10:09 |
| rrq | afaict the only thing remaining is the UEFI boot table entry where it's still named "debian". | 10:12 |
| bgstack15 | Devuan meet tomorrow, Thursday, July 15 at 20:30 UTC. Pad is here: https://pad.dyne.org/code/#/2/code/edit/rYU+L9azr8AYfevoMUrIrECD/ | 14:27 |
