Hi! using ppmtolss16 tool from syslinux-2.04 with an input .pnm file created with gimp 1.2.3, I bumbed into the following error: [root at azur syslinux-2.04]# ./ppmtolss16 < /home/sr/try.pnm > /tmp/t ./ppmtolss16: Input format error 1 [root at azur syslinux-2.04]# The problem is that gimp adds the comment # CRE...

I would like to to know about conversion from jpg file to lss format. I used ppmtolss16. It is giving following errors. for .jpg file: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. for .png files: ppmtolss16: stdin is not a raw PPM file at ppmtolss16 line 105, <STDIN> line 1. from .ppm file: ( I converted .jpg file in to .ppm file using...

Hi all...I (like many others, I'm sure) am trying to get a custom graphic displayed on a LEAF-based linux firewall. I've been unable to create an lss file without hacking ppmtolss16, and I don't think the hack helps any. Here's the problem. Unaltered, and using a 72...

...-2.04. I used the isolinux boot loader, to create a customized boot cd. As an add on to that process, i thought of displaying the product logo in the bootup screen. So as the document suggested i went on to create the lss from png. But it failed with following message. $ ~archives/syslinux-2.04/ppmtolss16 < ipm-white.pnm > ipm-white.lss './ppmtolss16: Premature EOF at (9,53) of (131,62)' I converted the image from png to pnm using pngtopnm which came from netpbm-progs-9.24-6.

Okay, what's the deal? How come ppmtolss16 always terminates with "Premature EOF"? A previous poster said he fixed it by using a different conversion routine, but that doesn't help me at all. In fact, it appears to me the problem is with perl 5.8, not the file. Characters vs. bytes? Another poster said adding "use...

Success! Had to build a linux box, gcc, gtk, gimp, etc, but I can now make .pnm files that convert correctly into lss16 format using ppmtolss16. Now I guess I have to go back to getting some *real* work done :) Thanks for the kick in the right direction. Adrian. -----Original Message----- From: H.

I 've installed the syslinux on a opensuse10.2 system and also installed the nasm 0.98.0.39 version but how do I use the ppmtolss16 to create a custom display text to flash before the system boots.

I apologize if this has already been covered, I did a half-hearted search of the mail archives but couldn't find anything, although I did find a couple of posts elsewhere of people having similar trouble with ppmtolss16. I'm having a few build problems on redhat 8.0, the first failure in the build is a fatal error from findpatch.pl early in the build. Bumbling through that problem there were a couple of other failures. It looks like all of the problems are related to the way perl is built on redhat 8.0 to ha...

After way too long, a new production release of Syslinux is finally available. Syslinux 4.04 is primarily a bug fix release, but with some new features. Changes in 4.04: * PXELINUX: Fix handling of unqualified DNS names. * PXELINUX: Fix timer bug when PXELINUX might be unloaded (Gene Cumm). * core/writedec.inc: Fix duplicate declaration and overflow

Hi, Do you have instructions on how to create my own Graphical Splash Screen for use with SysLinux? -- Peace and Long Life, Matt

I have released a SYSLINUX 2.06-pre3. This includes modifications to ppmtolss16 so that it should now be completely compliant with all modes of the PNM specification, raw/plain, PBM/PGM/PPM, with comment lines or without. ftp://ftp.zytor.com/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ Please test it out ASAP if at all possible. Since the fixes for -pre1 and -pre2 were pretty ess...

hi, one pretty small question .... i wanted to create my own mini-distribution, using syslinux to boot the system. Everything works pretty fine, but now i wanted to see a graphic on boot time. :-) I saw i have to create a graphic with the file-extension .ppm ... but please tell me with which programm i am able to use such an extension? gimp? dont think so ... hope to hear of you ... thanks in

Well, it has to happen at some point, so I have officially pushed out SYSLINUX 3.72. The big news in this release is of course the ISOLINUX hybrid mode support (a single image which can be booted either from a CD-ROM or from a hard disk/USB stick), but there are plenty of more goodies in here, including the label listing (not technically completion) on the Tab key. As usual, huge thanks to
