[Morphix-user] morphix-rebrand

[Darren D. <da...@da...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the morphix-rebrand script, which seems to work in most
respects but doesn't change the bootsplash theme (remains with the Morphix
logo).

On further investigation (following the commands in the bootsplash() method
of the script manually) I found that everything up to the make command works
OK.  ie the background.pcx file that is generated looks as expected with my
own logo.

When running the command on line 150 of the script:
cd $TMP_DIR/gfxboot-grub-0.1/ && make

I get the following output..

root@hepburn:/home/darren/projects/morphix/sandbox/grub-theme/gfxboot-grub-=

so I think the "message" file is never generated and the original simply
gets copied to my boot/grub directory instead.

Since Makefile's make about as much sense to me as Swahili, I'm now stuck :(
Can someone advise?

I have a look tonight, as morphix-rebreand was written by me. My
Swahili/Makefile usage is not too good do I might ask in irc for some
help debugging.

thanks for the quick response.  I'll be around at some point tonight and
sitting in #morphix.

Didn't mean *your* makefile was like swahili to me, I meant *all* of them a=
re
:)

Catch you later.

Have you run the commands on line 148 and 149. The only time I got
errors was when trying to change this file.

What happened to the original ./po/text.inc ?
Make should do nothing in the directory.

Don't worry about the above.

Any the default lang been changed ?

Yes

Which base.iso are you using ?
What command you are using for run morphix-rebrand ?
Is grub and gfxboot install ?

Sorry for all the questions,  but I spent over an hour on this can not
get it to fail, but my Makefile skills are non-existent

Brendan

no, I ignored them and just did manually what the script would have done
(without hiding the output of course)

it exists, with the same timestamp as the others...

actually no, but it needs to be.  This is a recently installed xubuntu box
and the lang is still set to US..

# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

0.5-pre5


> What command you are using for run morphix-rebrand ?

originally I ran:

# morphix-rebrand ./scratch.iso ./advance.iso ./advance.png



> Is grub and gfxboot install ?

# aptitude remove grub gfxboot -Vs
=2E..
The following packages are BROKEN:
  morphix-rebrand [0.2-32]=20
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  gfxboot [3.2.23-2ubuntu1] grub [0.97-11ubuntu14]=20
=2E..

Hi Darren,

In case other users are following this, it was discussed in irc
channel this evening.

I wrote morphix-rebrand based on the morphix veriosn of gfxboot
http://www.morphix.org/debian/binaries/gfxboot_2.4-1_i386.deb Where as
Darren is using a newer ubuntu version 3.2.23-2ubuntu1

If the morphix verison of gfxboot is installed morphix-rebrand works ok.

I will put it on the to do list to figure out how to make
morphix-rebreand work with a higher version of gfxboot.

Cheers
Brendan

If all else fails, we could rename the package morphix-gfxboot (and the
binaries). gfxboot is still somewhat voodoo to me, but I haven't been
following it. Perhaps the new version has some new groovy features.

I was thinkg of something simular, I like this idea. I may need my
hand holding to do this process (apt-voodoo)

Shouldn't be too hard. Prod me on IRC when you have some time and we'll
sort this out. I'd prefer to use the latest version of gfxboot though...

Someone mentioned that gfxboot was pure voodoo, which I'd agree. I
spend quite a while trying to get the message file to build on the new
version.  Documentation is worse then Morphix documentation.

Upgrading to the latest Ubuntu version might be the *right* way to go.
But it would be a hell of a lot of effort for little gain.
(Unless I have missed some of the gains ? - feedback welcome)

Anyone else got experience with gfxboot, who would fancy helping out ?

Regards,
Brendan
