Is there a step by step guide for getting splash on arch?

hi,
i looked every where for a step by step guide for getting splash on bootup working on arch.
i know if you use archlinux you're suppose to figure out things for youreself, which i handle pritty well i think, but kernel stuff, i am not sure for now, and i dont have time (exams) to break my system so if anyone could point me to a step by step guide, i will thank him.

AFAIK there isn't a way. I tried to get fbsplash working recently without much success.
There were a few rather complicated methods, and I thought the easiest way was to use an initrd image. Obviously, the default kernel already uses one so I recompiled a kernel to have support for an initrd image, but not need to use one. Then I used splashutils to create an initrd image with the splash image contained and booted the kernel using this as an image. Kernel booted, but no splash. I then gave up. I also had to patch the splashutils scripts as they were broken in places. Right at the moment, I don't crave a splash image enough to warrant more hacking.
fbsplash is meant to work without the fbcondecor kernel patch, so I didn't try using it. This may be a path you want to try out.

  • Is there a ipod touch user guide for ios 6

    I am doing ths for my wife and me if and when I replace my ipod touch, we would like to know if there is a new user guide out yet?

    Not yet. There probably will be by the time the 5th-generation iPod touch ships. If you're upgrading your current iPod, the iPhone manual might be of help since many of the features and settings will be the same, though not all:

  • Need Step By Step Guide For Data Archiving

    Can anybody provide me step by step Data Archiving guide for ECC 6.0 system.
    I searched OSS but did not get any guide.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You can go through the below links related to archiving which transactions we use for archiving the objects and how we do that.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/15/c9df3b6ac34b44e10000000a114084/content.htm
    http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW04S/helpdata/EN/43/f0ed9f81917063e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
    Basically Data archiving process comprises three major phases. They are:
    1. Creating an archive file: The archived files of data are created in the SAP database by the Archiving Management system. The Management system reads the data from the database and writes it to the archive files in the background. In instances of archived files exceeding the maximum specified limit, or if the number of data objects exceed the stipulated limit in the system, then the system automatically creates new archive files.
    At the end of the process of saving data into archive files, ADK triggers the system event SAP_ARCHIVING_WRITE_FINISHED, which is an indicator to the system to start next phase of archiving process.
    2. Removing the archived data from the database:
    While archiving management system writes data on the archive files, another program deletes it from the database permanently. The program checks whether the data has been transferred to the archive. It is quite important too as it is the last check performed by the system before deleting data permanently from the database. Several deletion programs run simultaneously, because the archiving program is much more faster than the deletion programs. This is important as it increases the efficiency of archiving process.
    3. Transferring the archived files to a location outside the SAP database
    Once the Archive management system has finished archiving the data, the next step is to save the archived files at a different location other than the SAP database. This can be accomplished by an automated process in the system or by a manual process. This step is optional since many enterprises may wish to keep the archived files within the current database. However, large enterprises transfer their data periodically as a part of their data archiving processes.
    Hope this helps!!
    Thanks and Kind Regards

  • Is there no User Guide for Premiere Pro CS6?

    I am a FCP7 refugee trying to decide between Avid and PP CS6. After waiting for a few weeks for it to be available, I have been lookiig through the PP CS6 Help PDF. I was surprised to see that it is not a complete reference guide documenting the features of the application, but instead a mish-mash of short descriptions, with numerous links to videos, documents from earlier versions, and other external locations where one has to go to get the actual information--not very helpful as a guide to the application. Is there actually no comprehensive user guide from Adobe in a single document or PDF? Or is the only way to get information about the application to navigate through all these disjointed materials?
    If there is such a user guide, I would very much like to know where I can find it. If there isn't, I would have to count this as a very big factor in favor of deciding to go with Avid. This is particularly true given the absence of any current third-party books on PPro CS6, although such books are hardly a substitute for a well written and comprehensive user guide, something which is also true of the help PDF.

    Groppler wrote:
    Since the links are to the on-line CS6 help and the PDF version of that help, both of which are a collection of materials concerning CS5, CS5.5 and CS6...
    Yes, for CS6, new information was added to the CS5/CS5.5 documentation. We had to go this route because we are working with brand new documentation software. There simply was not enough time to integrate the software and complete a whole new set of documentation. Believe me, it was enough of a challenge integrating the old system with the new one--in addition to creating the articles for new features, and the connective tissue between them.
    There is only one person that does the docs for Premiere Pro, and that is me. I have limitations and guidelines I must follow, so I hope you understand.
    Groppler wrote:
    ...with links to external sources you have to go to for information, I guess the answer to my question is that there is no true user guide for Premiere Pro CS6 that one can go to for comprehensive information about the application...
    No, this is the Help. It has BOTH the comprehensive details about the software and community content where you can see how people are actually using the software. If the Help is lacking details about any feature, please alert me and I will include those details. I work directly from the engineering documentation and include every detail I can about any feature.
    Since my time is limited, I don't always have time to make supplemental materials like video tutorials, or articles. That's why I link to them. The crucial info is included in the docs, the community content is material that I personally approve as helpful and supportive to the documentation.
    Groppler wrote:
    ...without sorting through irrelevant information or navigating to all these third-party sites to see if they have information you are looking for.
    None of the community content is irrelevant. I sort through it all very carefully. Community content is supportive and helpful to users. It should not be necessary to sort through these tutorials as the info should be right in the docs. Community content is supplemental. If you don't find the information you were looking for in the docs themselves, create a comment right on the Help page and I'll see to it that it gets fixed ASAP.
    Groppler wrote:
    I am quite surprised by this and think the absence of a real user guide is a significant shortcoming of Premiere Pro, not shared by other products on the market.
    It is a real user guide. I'm sorry you don't feel that way. If you want a doc with only Premiere Pro CS6 info in it, I can understand that request. Unfortunately, that was impossible for this round.
    If you have any suggestions for the next round of Help documentation, a better place than here would be the Community Help forum. Please voice your concerns there, as the people that actually make decisions about Help are hanging out there.

  • [ID CC] Is there a specific scripting guide for CC?

    Hi,
    I was looking for the scripting guide (both applescript and Javascript) for ID CC, but all I see is the CS6 version. Is that normal? I know there isn't that much new between the two version, but it would be nice to have the updated guides.
    Also, I had heard that the Applescript language was going to be fased out. Meaning, no new feature would be supported and things that changed would break current code in future version of the software. Is there any thruth in this? I'm a fairly novice applescripter and I can't even read Javascript, so I was wondering if I need to try to learn Javascript ASAP or if I'll be able to go by with my applescript.
    Thanks for any input.
    Jeff

    @Jeff – don't know if there is a specific scripting guide for InDesign CC.
    For news of new methods, properties and objects in the DOM (Document Object Model) in ExtendScript (Adobe's implementation of JavaScript) with InDesign see:
    Marc Autret:
    So What's New in InDesign CC Scripting DOM
    http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2013/06/so-what-s-new-in-indesign-cc-scripting-dom
    Another valuable reference (not covering CC but also InDesign CS6) is:
    http://www.jongware.com/idjshelp.html
    For learning ExtendScript you will find useful:
    1. Learn about "core" JavaScript (there are plenty of useful courses floating around in the web)
    2. Buy yourself a book like Grant Gamble's "InDesign CS5 – Automation Using XML & JavaScript"
    and experiment with your own InDesign files and code snippets from that base on…
    3. Find a collegue or some friends who also want to learn about it and do some learning sessions together
    4. Visit this forum a lot and browse through older threads. Most threads are about ExtendScript.
    Where did you hear that Adobe wants to phase out AppleScript on its products?
    Flash based extensions and related to that "ActionScript" will be phased out next year for building Extensions for CC applications. It will be replaced with [HTML5, CSS and JavaScript] for building widgets. PhotoShop CC will be the first product where we will see this (maybe around mid 2014); others will follow.
    Maybe you read about the abbreviation "AS" in this regard; which for some people is "AppleScript" and for some people it is "ActionScript". Don't confuse the two scripting languages.

  • JRC Deployment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008

    I just downloaded a trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 & was testing out the integration of this component into our Java web based application.
    I found the "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Java Reporting Component Deployment Guide" PDF file, but I was wondering if there was a more recent version of this guide for Crystal Reports 2008.  Maybe I'm a bit confused regarding the versions but this guide currently references JARs in a folder under ...\3.5\java\lib.  However, when I looked in the same section of Crystal 2008, I noticed it was \4.0\java\lib & the JARs are different.
    Is there a new JRC Depolyment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008?...If not, is there any documentation I can use to map between the 3.5 libraries and the 4.0 libraries?
    Thanks
