Hi, After a recent system upgrade fbsplash fails to run during boot. However while shutting down i can see the splash. Its only during the start up that I can't see it. This is the /var/log/boot some days before the upgrade http://pastebin.com/EbdYYb32 and this is the log after the upgrade http://pastebin.com/MkxLbRsT
Please notice the "/etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 780: /lib/splash/cache/steps_sysinit: No such file or directory" and "/etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 795: /lib/splash/cache/steps_sysinit: No such file or directory" and "/etc/rc.d/functions.d/fbsplash-extras.sh: line 796: /lib/splash/cache/steps_bootup: No such file or directory" errors that occur during boot(after upgrade). These didn't occur before. Also after booting i did ls in the /lib/splash/cache dir and found that the files are already there in the dir. Thanks.
fbsplash is not an official Arch Linux package and is not supported by Arch Linux. It's maintained in AUR. Please, send fbsplash related questions or bug reports to its AUR comments. But in this case it seems to be an issue with the AUR package fbsplash-extras which was recently updated. So, first make sure to having updated both packages fbsplash and fbsplash-extras to their latest versions. If the issue persists then, please, send a comment to the AUR page of fbsplash-extras and maybe fbsplash. Heiko
