When I tested the sparkylinux live it had an awesome boot screen with little animation in the bottom kind of like making a sideways 8 but after I have installed it, I only see the commands which boot the system, is there a way to get the boot screen back?
It is installed by default, but if any problem, reinstall it:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall sparky-plymouth
Then reboot to check it out.
Okay, re-installed and re-booted but that didn't do it. Still showing a bunch of commands, same thing at shutting down too, no screen just lots of commands with ok at the end. :-\
Depends of your graphic card, settings can be different, so check:
https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth
I made some changes as suggested in that tutorial, I selected the sparky-blue amongst the others and it shows up now, I don't know if it is the same one which live one had but it looks like it and anything better than command showing up I guess. :)
Thanks
BTW: What's this message all about?
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sda5
I: (UUID=b46c4a7d-f407-4ac2-8764-527509082617)
I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.
One more thing.. Is it possible to have system sounds, like maybe logon/logoff/notifications/errors etc.?
The sparky's default plymouth theme is sparky-blue.
Edit, as root:
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
add the line to the file:
RESUME=UUID=b46c4a7d-f407-4ac2-8764-527509082617
(if it is correct UUID of SWAP partition, check via command:
sudo blkid | grep swap
If yes, then:
sudo update-initramfs -u -t -k all
sudo update-grub
Never used sounds, but some desktop's config tools have option to enable sounds, I think.
That fixed the "Set the RESUME variable to override this" message which was showing up when updating initramfs. :) Thanks
What desktop config tools would those be? I installed dconf-editor and changed the default to the new sound scheme, but that didn't do it.
If I remember well, MATE desktop has Control Center-> Sound Preference.
Should check other desktops too.
Confused.. what should I install or do?
And how does the Custom Startup Services apps work? I want to add a script which should load at startup but not right away with 5s delay. This is how it looks currently. https://i.imgur.com/XeV52zN.png
Maybe let me know what is your present desktop, so I will check...
The custom autostart tool is simply to use:
- right click to add a new item
- double click on a command line to change a command
- double click on a Notes line to change it, etc
What do you want to add to your startup?
LXDE SparkyLinux Nibiru and I want to refresh lxde panel right after restart coz it's a little buggy, the icons on the panel at start up start using the system theme whereas I am using solid color with opacity, so I searched and found this command "lxpanelctl restart" and it fixes it but I hate to have it run manually after every time I log on.
Why you asked about the desktop, I am using the one that comes in default with sparkylinux? LXDE+PCmanFM window manager. This one: https://i.imgur.com/txAzPeV.jpg
1. Create lxpanel restarting file in your home dir, for example:
nano .lxpanel-restart
Add to the file:
#! /bin/bash
sleep 5
killall -9 lxpanel
lxpanel &
exit 0
chmod it:
chmod +x .lxpanel-restart
2. Create desktop file in your autostart dir:
nano .config/autostart/lxpanel-restart.desktop
Add to the file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LXpanel-Restart
Exec=/home/YOUR-NICK/.lxpanel-restart
Terminal=false
Type=Application
change "YOUR-NICK" to your user name.
Use any text editor instead of nano if you'd like.
Should start working after next log in.
Done the above steps and rebooted and the icons are fine now :) so I guess it's working fine.
Thanks so much!
