</I>>><i> Hi,
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> With a memory of the infamous "initrd killer" problem that is still
</I>>><i> lurking in the background somewhere, something related to theme updates
</I>>><i> is messing things up:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> e.g. see the before and after listings for my /boot
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">colin at jimmy</A> code (master)]$ ll /boot
</I>>><i> total 39784
</I>><i> [...]
</I>>><i> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Apr 3 09:22 initrd.img ->
</I>>><i> initrd-3.3.1-desktop-1.mga2.img
</I>><i> [...]
</I>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> After:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">colin at jimmy</A> code (master)]$ ll /boot
</I>><i> [...]
</I>>><i> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7556648 Apr 3 14:33 initrd.img
</I>><i> [...]
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Reproduced:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> root 9723 0.0 0.0 25760 1372 pts/11 S+ 03:02 0:00 |
</I>><i> \_ /bin/sh /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/switch-themes
</I>><i> Mageia-Default
</I>><i> root 9745 0.2 0.2 93496 20724 pts/11 S+ 03:02 0:00 |
</I>><i> \_ /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/bootloader-config --action
</I>><i> update-splash
</I>><i> root 30133 0.0 0.0 25760 1312 pts/11 S+ 03:06 0:00 |
</I>><i> \_ /bin/sh
</I>><i> /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/make-boot-splash /boot/initrd.img 800
</I>><i> root 30143 0.0 0.0 25760 1340 pts/11 S+ 03:06 0:00 |
</I>><i> \_ /bin/sh
</I>><i> /usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/make-boot-splash-raw /boot/initrd.img
</I>><i> Mageia-Default
</I>><i>
</I>><i> => bork
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So it seems like some recent change in DrakX which causes it to call
</I>><i> make-boot-splash even for /boot/initrd.img...
</I>
Actually... it would be my recentish change/fix in
/usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/make-boot-splash-raw in which $foo.img is
now replaced with
# gzip > $foo.img.tmp
# mv -f $foo.img.tmp $foo.img
while it previously was a direct
# gzip > $foo.img
I've now added a "readlink -f" in the beginning of the script so that it
will operate on the symlink target directly, in bootsplash-3.3.8. Thanks
for noticing this.
