similar to: Graphical Splash Screen

Commandline (under Debian): ./ppmtolss16 #FFFFFF=7 #000000=1 < missile2.ppm > splash.rle Permissions do allow execution. Script begins to execute, but seems to be reading in from the console, rather than from the file. I can enter all the whitespace I want, but after entering anything else, it complains about stdin not being a standard ppm file. So, the problem is in my command line...

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 # CREATOR: The GIMP's PNM Filter Version 1.0 at 2nd line. Suggested fix for

I want to upload a file. And what I am confused about is...should I upload it using a separate table or just as another file in the form. If as a separate table then I am not able to save it on the system/ Or/ If not that, then how can i check for the extensions? Do reply. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I would like to to know about conversion from jpg file to lss format. I used ppmtolss16.

Hi, I get the error message isolinux: Disk error 01: AX=4200, drive 82 booting the new College Linux CD on my Dell GX100. What does this message mean, and what is the recommended workaround? Please cc me on any replies; I'm not subscribed to this list. Thank you for your help. --jkl

Hi , I am using syslinux-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:

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 bytes" to ppmtolss16 fixed the error. That may

Hi! I'm trying to create a custom logo for syslinux but keep bumping my head on the conversion to LSS16. The sample syslogo.png works fine so I decided to start with a known quantity by loading it into the Gimp. I cleared the canvas, color filled a blue background (0x000033) placed some yellow letters on the blue (0xffff00) and saved the file back out with the default compression. The

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

Is the splash screen RLE is standard 640x480x4 or a modified one because I can neither open the file in Photoshop CS2 (Windows under ext2fsd) or Gimp 2.2 (Linux 2.6.12.16ubuntu) and I am unable to decipher Perl scripts. Will syslinux support standard RLE?

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 Gurus! I'm working on getting some old SLES 8-serveres to use winbind, letting users authenticate to our Windows AD. All the setup of samba, winbind, adding the server to the AD etc. is working fine, and all kinds of wbinfo returns what it is supposed to. BUT - when I try to login (using ssh), it utterly ignores winbind, and only tries to validate local users. Not one entry in messages

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.

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

Hi, I just replaced the pxelinux.0 of some 2.x version by pxelinux.0 vers. 3.0.7. Some of the PXE Clients refused to boot thereafter (just stopped after reading the config file). I noticed that the APPEND line was too long. Is this intentional? What is the maximum length of the APPEND option line? Thanks, Thomas

Hi Gurus, I have a simple failover cluster on two SLES 12 SP3 nodes with Samba/winbind for authenticating AD-user access to the shares. The shares are reached through a virtual hostname/IP which differs from the SLES-server itself. The servers uses SSSD for normal SSH-authentication, also against the same Active Domain. Here is the problem - if I get Samba/winbind to work with the virtual

Hello everybody, I have been developing small applications in Rails from quite some time. But lately, I came across a bug which I have not been able to correct. If anybody could help me with it, would be of great help thankyou. Actually, the problem is that I have a form in my application with some set of fields. Now what "validates_presence_of" should do is that if I submit the form

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 essential, I'd like

Hello All, I am participating in the Google Summer of Code 2008. I am a student from India. I am interested in rewriting Gfxboot as a COM32 module.I am interested in syslinux because I used the ppmtolss16 perl script present in syslinux to create my own splash screen for a kiosk system which was built on Myslax(and isolinux was present too!!!). I am a newbie and have some basic knowledge of C. I
