[solved] intel, kms, where's my arch boot logo(s)?

I have an intel card (Intel 945GME Chipset, netbook) with KMS enabled, and I lost the boot logos after enabling KMS. Is there a way to get it (them) back? Searching the forums gives a lot of "I want logo" and "I don't want logo" posts, some that try to get the tux logo in there (which would be nice, but offtopic to me), and one post that mentions that the logo disappears when kms is used on intel cards, but that was all.
thanks

I have the same problem, but a radeon.
How do I configure the kernel to compile the radeon driver into the kernel.
grep -i radeon /boot/kconfig
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
in menuconfig it's not possible to mark CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y only as module.
Does it work if I set it to "y" with a texteditor?
EDIT:
radeon wiki wrote:A radeon kernel-module gives more flexibility (e.g. debug), for built-in solution change CONFIG_DRM_RADEON from "=m" to "=y".
http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo# … radeon-KMS
I will try it.
EDIT_2:
It wasn't possible to select DRM_RADEON=y because AGP was selected as module.
EDIT_3:
it works.

  • Windows 8 and ArchLinux dual-boot - Failed to open file: arch\boot\...

    Hey!
    I have a problem where I don't know how to configure the EFISTUB to boot ArchLinux along Windows 8. I have read the instructions on the wiki and tried for two days and the only thing I've come up with is copying some files into the /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ folder, and adding the entry into the UEFI boot menu. I can select it when Restarting Windows8 through the shift-restart thing and stuff but when it attempts to boot it says:
    Failed to open file: arch\boot\archiso.img
    I don't know how to set this up and fix it. I am so confused with everything right now due to the instructions on the wiki basically being "You can either do it this way, that way or any other way." but does not specifically expain how each works (at least so that I understand it fully) and what has to be done to complete these steps. Like, I need a complete tutorial from Start to Finish, to do this because I'm too nervous messing up my partitions. I have understood some parts thought and what I want is to be able to boot it from the EFISTUB instead of chain-booting like I usually do. I just don't know how to connect the entry in the list to the proper files to boot the system.
    What I have done:
    Installed the base system.
    Istalled grub in the base system but has not used grub to install on the /boot yet because I don't know if it is to be used if I'm supposed to use the EFISTUB (I was thinking efibootmgr would be enough)
    Tried to use efibootmgr to make the entry, but the entry does not work. (If this is how I should do it, can you explain which partition to target and what the different values would mean when answering?)
    I don't know which one is right, or if both shall be done (I guess Grub is used if I want to chain-load. I guess I can do it if it's the only way)
    Anyway, I hope you guys can answer me so I can fix this. Thanks

    What you're trying to do now is:
    EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
    This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
    EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
    ...or...
    EFI->GRUB->kernel
    These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
    If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach.

  • Where is the start/boot information log of systemd?

    system: Arch Linux 3.7 kernel
    init: systemd
    Hello, friends.
    I saw there are some warning informations flash by screen when the system start.Due to the screen refresh so fast I didn't see the details information.
    I have used dmesg to check the information but seems to have no. I think it is systemd proprietary informations.
    I have searched /var/log but there is no useful information.
    Where is the start/boot information stored?

  • Arch boot disk

    I have an Arch boot disk, it was created by Tobias Powalowski.
    I can't remember where I got it. I would like to check to see if I have the latest version.
    It was very useful with the latest kernel problem, all I had to do was boot from the disk and then run pacman .:D

  • Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.

    My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.  I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up.  Can anyone help?

    If you are running Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

  • Intel KMS + mplayer with .32 kernel

    Hi
    Just want to mention that with the new 2.6.32 kernel from [testing] mplayer works again in framebuffer with intel KMS
    I have a 915 GM chipset and was not able to watch a movie in tty for months (since I switched to KMS). Just use it with -vo fbdev2.

    Wow, this is great. Last time I tried was with 2-6.32-rc8 and it didn.t work. Glad they managed to fix it before releasing -final.

    You can't. It is included with a version of OS X. and to my knowledge for Win 7 you need BC 4. Which should already be installed.

  • Integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics adapter in boot camp

    Hello
    How can I use integrated Intel Iris Pro graphics adapter in boot camp on my new Haswell Macbook pro?
    It is really important in order to get decent battery time.
    Best regards
    Jesper

    For some odd reason Apple has restricted Mac computer from using that graphics adapter when you are using Windows and your Mac has a add-on, discrete, graphics card installed.
    If you do a google search on it no one has been able to make it work on a Mac.

  • [solved] Hard disk security parameters freeze during boot

    Hi fellow archers!
    Currently I am trying to pin point a problem I have. I have an old PC of mine setup as some kind of experimental playground. My problem is that the security options of my driver become frozen during powering up this PC. It is a fresh and empty Arch installation with just sshd running and no services has been installed that should set the drive security-freeze. I am trying to figure out who is locking it, my current suspicion is the mainboard/BIOS itself, but I need to be sure, that there is no script during executing Arch boot setting the freeze parameter. -- Oh if someone one if the ASUS A8N32-SLI is doing such nasty stuff, it would be great to know.
    Thanks in advance for your feedback
    Last edited by jpk (2011-10-15 13:19:20)

    Hi, it's not really a fix for the problem, but I now know what happens. It is really the mainboard BIOS who freezes the security state of my hdds. So what I did was to build a power switch for my hdd. During boot I switch the power and linux will detect the sata drive (haven't tested it with IDE drives) and I can work with it.

  • Upgraded groub to groub2. Would like default arch boot and 1 systemd

    I've upgraded to grub2. How or what should I change in /etc/grub.d/
    I would like to keep the arch boot entrees. But add one to use systemd as well.
    Not sure how I can accomplish this.

    Hi,
    first create your boot config. Afterwards, copy the linux entry and add init=... to the kernel line. As a last step, add the entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom so it will be included automatically when regenerating the config.
    If you mainly use systemd, you could also discard the default entries. (add init=... to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub) When you want to boot without systemd edit the entry in the bootmenu and remove the init-parameter.

  • Can't update BIOS boot logo

    Hi,
    I've tried changing the BIOS boot logo of my Thinkpad E420, but a specific image isn't working, for some reason.  I use the last "BIOS update utility", being 1.26, from here.  No error shows up during the upgrade.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT037710
    This is what I should do to change the BIOS Logo:
     *  NOTES ON CUSTOM START UP IMAGE                                    *
     *  THIS VERSION OF THE FLASH UPDATE PROGRAM GIVES THE OPTION OF      *
     *  REPLACING (OR ELIMINATING) THE DEFAULT "LENOVO" IMAGE THAT IS     *
     *  DISPLAYED DURING SYSTEM START UP.                                 *
     *  GUIDELINES FOR CUSTOM START UP IMAGE:                             *
     *  1. THE IMAGE FILE SIZE IS LIMITED TO 30KB.                        *
     *  2. RESOLUTION OF THE IMAGE SHOULD BE LESS THAN 640X480.           *
     *  3. VALID FORMATS FOR THE IMAGE ARE AS FOLLOWS:                    *
     *        BITMAP (.BMP) FILE FORMAT                                   *
     *        JPEG (.JPG) FILE FORMAT                                     *
     *        GIF (.GIF) FILE FORMAT                                      *
     *  STEPS TO ENABLE CUSTOM START UP IMAGE:                            *
     *  1. PREPARE YOUR IMAGE AND COPY IT TO THE SAME PLACE WHERE         *
     *     WINUPTP.EXE EXISTS.                                            *
     *  2. RENAME THE IMAGE AS FOLLOWS.                                   *
     *         BITMAP FILE --> LOGO.BMP                                   *
     *         JPEG FILE --> LOGO.JPG                                     *
     *         GIF FILE --> LOGO.GIF                                      *
     *  3. RUN WINUPTP.EXE AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.                       *
     *  AFTER YOU UPDATE THE BIOS ON YOUR SYSTEM, YOUR LOGO WILL          *
     *  APPEAR ON THE STARTUP SCREEN.                                     *
    Interestingly, this image work as it should:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/600u9o08a1ax1wp/LOGO_OLD.jpg
    But this one don't:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrayfjslyv57o53/LOGO.JPG
    I never get any error during the update, I click "YES" on the popup "Custom image was found, do you want to use it", but if I chose the second image, I get a black screen at the BIOS logo (Computer continue booting normally, and I can access the BIOS - but I have a black screen).
    What's wrong with the second image?  How is the second image different from the first one, that does work?  I don't get it. :/
    I can also succesfully restore the BIOS logo to the Default, if I delete LOGO.JPG from the update folder.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi GameX,
    the only difference that I can see immediately is something which caused me problems with a particular web publishing software once, took me ages to find the bug.  Your second picture has JPG as the ending, the first jpg - maybe the utility is case sensitive on file endings??

  • My ipad is stuck on the boot logo with loading bar

    okay this is my first time using apple community so I'm sorry if my review doesn't provide enough info.
    i own a iPad 2 running IOS 8.1.2, last i checked i hat about 2 gigabytes left
    okay so here is what happened i was reseting my iPad and suddenly it stopped at a the boot logo, but it also had a loading bar underneath it.
    a while a similar thing happened where it was stuck on a infinite boot loop but the steps i took to remedy that don't work for this situation.
    i tried  putting my iPad into DFU mode and restoring it from a iTunes back up backup.
    when this happened i was on 20% so i will let it do its thing until it run out of power.
    thank you for any feedback you can provide.

    okay this a update to what is going on. I tried putting it in dfu mode again thinking maybe i didn't do it right the first time, so what happened was the loading bar went away but the apple logo stayed, after a few seconds it went back to a apple logo with a loading bar.
    then a bit later iTunes said welcome to your new iPad so i clicked restore from back up for awhile it said estimating time but then it said a error occurred.

    It is amazing the effect that you've achieved with arch's logo. I was thinking some days ago if it would be possible to change the unpolished perspective of the official logo at arch's home page.
    I wonder if you hadn't proposed this well proportioned, clear, and good angled image as the new official logo.
    Arch is one of the best distros so you deserve double grats.
    I hope to see more of your artwork soon. I drink to make other people interesting.

    i tryed to connect my ipod classic to my computer an every time i do it will start flikering an when i conected it to a wall plug it just get stuck on the boot logo it had the the red x but i fix that but now its just stuck on the boot logo i need my ipod please tell me what i need to do pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee

    The big Red X is a sign of iPod undertaker coming, so you only have temporary extension and put it in Comatose state.
    Some laptops have only one high power USB 2.0 port, so if it flickers, try the others on your laptop.
    However try the following, (bear with me if you have done all these.)
    Toggle the hold switch, make sure you don't see the red marking.
    Press Menu and Center butoons for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the buttons.
    If the above solve the frozen Apple Logo, then do a Disk Diagnostics, read this earlier post from tt2.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
    Don't worry if yours is Windows, the process apply to the iPod and not the PC.

  • IMac Stuck at Boot Logo w/ White Bar through Logo URGENT!!!

    Hello, I have an iMac Model: A1225. At first, my problem was that on start-up, the iMac would not get past the boot/logo screen, and then all of a sudden it would go to a gray screen with three thick, white, jagged bars running through the screen. I tried to boot from a recovery USB and DVD, but it was no luck. It would not boot from anything. I ran a disk check on the hard drive from single-user mode, and it said that the hard-drive was okay, but I decided to change the hard drive and the memory anyway. I put a brand-new, fully-funtional, formatted hard drive with Snow Leopard that booted fine on another computer and brand-new memory. Now, when the computer gets to the boot/logo screen it gets stuck here with a thinck wite bar running through the apple logo. Please Help! I will also post a picture. Thanks Guys!

    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 w/ 16 GB of ram.  I believe the year is Late 2012.  I could be wrong.
    I restore from a Time Machine backup.  It seems to have done the trick.  This is only temporary.  I do plan on restoring the machine completely and then migrating only the files I absolutely need.
    Thanks for the help :).
