I'm terribly sorry about it...but i can still download it without being logged

You should add that string at the end of the line starting with 'kernel=' in your /boot/grub/menu.lst

If you want to configure just the kernel you use, add it only in the first not-commented (without #).

For example

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet splash locale=en_EN
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic
boot

you should add it to this line

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet splash locale=en_EN

which will become

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet splash locale=en_EN vga=791

Are you sure you got the right resolution (1024x768)? You have to set it on yor menu.lst file

Hi!

With the last two Beta versions I just get a blank screen with the blinking cursor at the top. Alpha 3 used to work.

Here's some info:
Linux version 2.6.17-10-generic ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.2 20060928 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-13ubuntu5)) #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 (Ubuntu 2.6.17-10.34-generic)

P4 1.8GHz
512MB SDRAM
GeForce 3 DDR VRAM.

Any clues?
Thanks!!!

Try doing "file *.so" on the object file you get out of the tarball. If you've got a 32-bit machine, make sure the .so isn't a 64-bit version. I had the same symptoms when I installed beta 1 and found that the .so was 64-bit. (See posts above about the links.)

Yep i believe it's the same problem. I think now it should work for everybody!

Did you follow again the whole installation process?

However i'll install a 32bit system as soon as i can and i'll try it (now i'm on a 64bit the problem should be caused from different arch as i did not tested personally the 32bit)

can you update the screenshot to show the second progress bar?

Report

Embrace

Yep, just did it. Thanks for suggest!

PS: the second bar is just the old one in the top, a bit larger. In the animation it's gray (default color) when not charged. White when charged.

Hope you like it

Great looking theme. When I tried to download the latest version I found that the 0.1 Beta 1 link (non-AMD) also links to the AMD-64 .so, so I had to go back to Alpha 3 for a 32-bit version.

It's strange, whene i click the link i'm redirected to the right page. Can you try again and tell me if it still happens?

Hunh, that's weird. I just tried all the beta links, versions 1 and 2, and all of them gave me an AMD 64-bit .so file.

This is from the 0.1 beta 2 link:
[email protected]:~/tmp$ file usplash-theme-fingerprint.so
usplash-theme-fingerprint.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
[email protected]:~/tmp$ ls -l usplash-theme-fingerprint.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tom tom 2807010 2007-01-17 07:28 usplash-theme-fingerprint.so

I'll just use the source. Thanks.

And it just stop there, this is not a failure in your theme, but do u know how to fix this for any chance?

Thanks! and great theme!

Your Kernel is too old and i believe it does not support initramfs. I don't know how you should fix this and update your booting process succesfully.
I think you should refer to your own distro documentation or even ask for help in your community forum.

Any chance of you making a widescreen version of this lovely theme?

The most difficult thing in that case is the testing for me, as i have a 1280x1024 res. If you desire it, i can try to realize it, and then you can test it for me...
