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)

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,

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, While investigating why the Xen 1.2 Demo CD won''t boot on a particular laptop, I noticed the download image appears to be truncated. "isoinfo -d -i xendemo-1.2.iso" reports: Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 294080 That would suggest the image size should be 294080 * 2048 = 602275840 bytes. However I only have 292376 * 2048 = 598786048 bytes. The web server

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

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 have just joined the list. I am the original creator of Puppy Linux, now letting other guys take the reins, and I am working on a fork of Puppy called Quirky Linux, where I try various experimental ideas. Up until now, in Puppy and all offshoots, we have used syslinux 4.05 or older. Over the last few days I have been testing 6.03 (using the binary DEBs from Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn),

The following code can be used to convert a 256 color BMP to LSS format for use as a SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX/PXELINUX Splash screen. The bitmap must be LESS than 640 pixels wide (bug) and only uses the first 16 colors. CorelDraw and PhotoShop are good for re-palletizing and dithering.

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

Hi, Great job on isolinux. I am using it for a little side project of my own, and want to make my own splash screen. I have GIMP for windows, is there anything else I need? I assumt a lss file is a type of gif or png or something. Thank you, Josh Byington

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

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):
