similar to: AMENDED: Ppmtolss16 trouble...

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 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 irfanview)

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:

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 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...

I don't know whether it matters, but building gnu-efi pollutes its source directory (unlike syslinux itself) with the following files at least (found by git status in the gnu-efi submodule):

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

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, I've just been playing with the Logo for the Knoppix bootable CD, which is in the LSS-16 format used by your ppmtolss16 and lss16toppm perl scripts from syslinux-1.75. On my standard Red Hat 8.0 distribution these both fail due to Unicode errors. After a little investigation, it turns out that my LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 environment causes perl (5.8.0-55) to treat standard I/O as Unicode. I

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, 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

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, it took me some time until I found out how to make _working_ .lss files for syslinux. So, here is the (rough) howto, maybe you like to include it in an FAQ. - Use a paint tool "gimp" (if you know how to handle it) to create the boot logo, keep in mind that it will have (at the end) only 16 color. - make sure it has 640 width. - save it as gif <black magic> - use the
