G'day, I created a file to add mime-type detection for lss16 images... All you need to do is put it (unzipped) in /usr/share/mime/packages (or your equivalent) and run: update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime Then you can just associate lss images with Mtpaint, to make life easier... Note: - I didn't know about the name (lss vs. lss16), so I just went by what the "file"

Hi, I'm the founder and still very active developer of Puppy Linux, and a variant named Quirky. Puppy is a cut-down distro, typically 100MB live-CD. We have always used the Adobe Flash player, though I have stayed with the Flash 9 player (9.0.48.0) due to its smaller size. Puppy also has ffmpeg, xine-lib and gxine. Recently I have been experimenting with Swfdec and Swfdec-mozilla. I started

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

Hi, this patch is not a finished job; It fixes some regression issues but it displays some other ones. It initially deals with the correct migration (asm to C ) of the lss16 parser code at core/graphics.c referenced here: http://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10 There were some emails with reports, and a couple of emails with some (incomplete, and erroneous) attempt to solve the issue.

Dear gentlemen, this is just a marginal quirk... I've been using a graphical logo at the pxelinux prompt in our LAN for many years. It's always been the same LSS16 picture, and it's always been working fine. I've been using pxelinux 3.53 until recently. Right now I'm in the process of introducing "UEFI netboot" into our LAN, and also the diskless boot into

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)

Hello, I am trying to implement the following formula using for loops and vectors. I am sure you can use some fancy R code to solve this but I would like to keep it simple and stick to for and vector/array if that is possible. TP = 200; RL = 50; TPR1 = TP - RL; TPR2 = TP + RL; PPO = 0; LSS = 0.1; counter = 1; for(i in res) { # Even if(counter %% 2 == 1) { ls = abs((sum(LSS)* TP)) /

Cc'd back to the list... always use reply-all. You say res should have been LSS but LSS is a scalar so the for loop will only run once. What does a successful output look like for a sample input? How do you (we) know when success has been achieved? In fact, what is the formula you want to implement? If your code below is the definition of your "formula" then we are left with no

I have used syslinux 4.0x and earlier for many years, with Puppy Linux and more recently Quirky Linux. Though, my knowledge of all the capabilities of syslinux remains rudimentary. I am new to UEFI. I recently got my hands on a win8.1 laptop, 64-bit system, and decided to tackle booting Quirky on it, from a USB stick. I turned off Secure Boot. I wrote /usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin to the flash

Hi! First of all, sorry for my english. I have one problem. I'm creating a server to install PC's with PXE (dhcpd, tftp, nfs, etc...). And, at the syslinux moment, the image (splash.lss/logo.16/...) is not displayed, but the text into boot.msg works ok (colors and background ok). I copied files from Knoppix, Fedora and others... But it's the same: No image, but text and colors ok.

Hi All, I am having trouble with pxelinux display file not calling the correct name to retrieve the graphic image. I guess the filename length is determained the first time ^X is used, and doesnt re-size the field name on next call. For example when cycling through F1 - F2 - F3 the f1 image displays fine, and its the longer name f2 & f3 just display the text and no image, output from

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

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

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,

Hal's advice helps me a lot to understand the implementation much better. Thanks so much! So, now I am able to state my problem more clearly: 1) There are two kinds of locals, i.e., the local variables originated from the source code (like C/C++), and the compilation generated temporaries. After instruction selection phase, the former is seen as frame indexes, while the latter is seen as
