Is there a way to go from BIOS - Splash Screen - Usable Desktop?

I am using XFCE4. I have followed the instructions for silent boot as per the wiki, and am getting only two text outputs. The first is the "Booting Arch Linux" message and the second is the automatic login notification. I would like to first get rid of the login message, if possible. The second goal is to go from BIOS to a splash screen to the desktop with nothing else being displayed at any point. Is this possible to accomplish? If yes, then how?

If you start X from a bashrc/profile with autologin to the tty then I don't know if you can do this.  You could, instead, set up a graphical target.
But if you want a splash screen, that would be plymouth:

  • Change BIOS Splash Screen?

    Is there a way to change the bios splash screen on the newer thinkpads?
    I found a guide for the older ones but i'm not sure if it works for the newer ones (particularly the W520 for me): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen
    Thanks!

    I looked at my T430s and it is as you describe, but I don't know of anyone who has done this since the UEFI BIOS was introduced, I haven't dealt with custom flash images since the T60. If it doesn't work, I would be afraid that the instructions might be outdated and just might not work.

  • Neo AMI bios Splash Screen?

    Is there any way to change the MSI splash screen on my Neo 875p (8xtreme graphic &c.)? My dell inspiron has a program for doing this, and it's a very cool feature. I was told by MSI that it can be done, but only for oem vendors. Has anyone stumbled across software for changing the splash screen on ami bioses? Moderators: maybe you can request the software from MSI?
    Thanks

    Yes, there is a way to put your own picture or logo in a bios. There are several programs and many steps to be taken in the process. Go to vp6-board.com and look in the hacked bios section. The links to all necessary programs are there and full instructions as to each step in the process. I have done this in the past on an Abit VP6 mobo I just retired a few days ago. Be SURE to follow all instructions! If you screw up your bios... since it isn't a plug-in type... I don't think Microstar will be any help to you or even badflash.com
    I don't recommend trying this unless you have mucho experience, and money to buy another board if ya make a mistake.

  • Is there a way to print from ipad 4 to a non AirPrint printer? I have a Canon Pixma MP 620 wifi which works fine with my PC but I don't want to buy a new printer. Is there an app for this or adaptors which could work?   thank, Ric

    Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
    Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

  • Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from iPhoto events?

    Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from photos in iphoto?  I can create a single event screen saver, but don't know if it is possible to create a screen saver with more than one event.

    Drag the events you want into an album and have the screen saver run from the album.

  • Is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)?

    I found this piece of information: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ Yes, it's about downgrading from iOS 6 beta, not iOS 6, but the way to downgrade to a previous version of iOS is basically the same.
    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and an iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.1.1 as well. None of them is 'jailbroken'. I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS 6 for exploring it a bit more and reverted back to iOS 5.1.1. How? I did it the way stated by the website I mentioned above: just by Option-Clicking the 'Restore' button on iTunes and select the iOS 5.1.1 software. No need to enter recovery mode or DFU mode whatsoever.
    In fact, Apple doesn't allow users to downgrade to a previous version of iOS: 'Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694) The reason why I could downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 may be, as the above website said, 'Typically you can’t downgrade iOS versions so easily, but because Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1 this allows downgrading to commence with minimal effort.'
    I was wondering whether I could revert all the way from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 (the version that was shipped along with the launch of the iPod touch 4 in September 2010). (for experimental purposes)
    I downloaded the iOS 4.1 (a list of iOS software: http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/30/download-ipod-touch-firmware-ipsw/) and tried Option-Clicking when restoring this iOS 4.1 — no luck. iTunes said 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'. And I did a bit of research and found that there are ways to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1, but it seems you have to jailbreak the device, which is complicated and I don't want to do.
    So, is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)? Thanks in advance.

    No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.

  • Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad?

    Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad? I know I can stream from the pad to the TV, but I haven't seen anything that lets me do it vice-versa. I want to stream while my computer is off/asleep. I don't want to keep my computer awake all the time simply to be prepared for the random moment when I want to watch a movie but I'm not in a position to go turn on my computer and turn on iTunes. If my Apple TV could stream the movies and music, that would suit my needs, but it looks like that feature isn't available. Does anyone know how to work around it using either Apple or 3rd-party software/hardware?

    You can use Apples Remote app to stream any macs iTunes library to ATV1 but only second gen ATV,s are capable of streaming direct from iOS devices.

    First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

  • TS3899 I just switched to Iphone 5c from Blackberry...is there a way to jump from the 1st email listed to the bottom of the list (sometimes 300-400) without scrolling manually thru them all?  Also is there a way to organize them by sender?

    I just switched to Iphone 5c from Blackberry...is there a way to jump from the 1st email listed to the bottom of the list (sometimes 300-400) without scrolling manually thru them all?  Also is there a way to organize them by sender?

    Well, I think I know why the rules are not working. The alias mailbox is being listed as another mail folder  and not as an actual inbox so the rules are not being applied. While I wish the rules would work, I will continue to manually mark some of the emails as spam.
    As for the second issue with emails vanishing, I am waiting to see if it happens again. I think it must happen when it is syncing the data but I am not sure that it happens all the time. Today the previous emails seem to be their and it grabbed the new email so I don't know what happened with the vanishing email. Anyway this can be closed since I believe the main issue has been solved as being a setup issue with Yahoo alias email account.

    iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

    There are no student upgrades.  Never have been, never will be.  Your options are to either buy a new student verison or pay for the full retail upgrade price.  That's always been Adobe's policy.  If you are looking to jump on a cloud, then you need to contact Adobe sales for help.

  • Is there a way to print from my IPad to a Dell printer?

    Is there a way to print from my IPad to a dell wireless printer?

    The native print only works on AirPrint enabled printers.  List is below, and there are no dell printers in the mix.  So you need a third party app that will route your print job through your computer on the network.  Like printopia, print and share.  There are a umber of those apps. Go to the store, read the reviews, and find the one that does most what you want.
