I am using "syslinux-1.62-375" and got the following message $ /usr/share/syslinux/ppmtolss16 <planet.ppm /usr/share/syslinux/ppmtolss16: Input format error 1 The file planet.ppm was created by "xv" and has the following header: $ head -3 planet.ppm P6 # CREATOR: XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2) 640 340 Removing the comment line by a filter fixed the

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.

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 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:

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.

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 everybody, I would like to participate in GSoC 2008 program under xiph.org. I went through the open project list[1] and found the project " Theora encoding support in GIMP" proposal interesting. I'd really grateful to you if you can give me more information on this, including 1. Why GIMP need encoding support? 2.If you have any guidance in integrating encoding support for GIMP

How can R users take advantage of the "active PDF" paradigm for annotation of statistical graphics? The basic objective is to take a small number of locations on a graph and hyperlink them -- add persistent information to the pdf rendering of the graph so that when the user clicks on the location, a browser is (started if necessary and) pointed to a URL specified by the persistent
