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)

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! 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.

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:

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years, and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now. Perhaps there are others as well. In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users are directed to download a patch from the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14 But the Sun

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

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...

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 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

Upon finding a different image conversion program, I have eliminated the Premature EOF problem that I had(apologies if I post this before the moderator approves my first post...you can ignore it if/when it shows up). Now, I am seeing the script complete with no error. I tested my syslinux.dpy file with the syslogo.lss file from the samples, and it's fine. The lss file I created, however,

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

hello everybody, apologies if I'm missing something here Just tried to build 6.04-pre1 test version with: make bios installer and found some problems all (seemingly) related to inaccurate paths in various Makefiles. I enclose a complete patch at the end of this email, which details the problems I found and how they got fixed for me. As an example, this is the first error I got:

Hi, I've made several attempts to boot syslinux from the harddisk. I have a win 98 startdiskette with syslinux and copybs. I strictly follow the procedure in the syslinux documentation. Yet, the result of the boot is not that linux is starting. Instead, the Microsoft windows screen flashes for a couple of seconds and is then replaced by a Dos prompt. Syslinux is V2.04.
