Meilix Artwork
GPL-3.0 License
meilix-artwork comprises the sources for the two plymouth bootscreen theme packages for Meilix, one for logo, one for text based startup screen. These two packages should be installable/testable on any Debian or Ubuntu derivate system and could be configured as the default boot screen.
The naming meilix-artwork follows the convention on Debian family distributions, see xubuntu-artwork etc.
Previously Plymouth theme package debuilding used to be done within the meilix build process (https://github.com/fossasia/meilix) but now we moved it to this independent repository to simplify testing. We use Travis CI (https://travis-ci.org/fossasia/meilix-artwork) for debuilding the two debian packages. At present these files are found in the deb branch (https://github.com/fossasia/meilix-artwork/tree/deb) of this repository
$ ./debuild.sh
(You will need executing permissions execute $ chmod +x ./debuild.sh
for the permissions)$ sudo dpkg -i ./plymouth-theme-meilix-logo_1.0-1_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/meilix-logo/meilix-logo.plymouth 100
$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
$ sudo dpkg -i ./plymouth-theme-meilix-text_1.0-1_all.deb
$ sdo apt-get install -f
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth text.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/meilix-text/meilix-text.plymouth 150
$ sudo update-alternatives --config text.plymouth
$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
Finally reboot or install the plymouth-x11 package test environment $ sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11
, envoke the demon $ sudo plymouthd
and show the splash screen $ sudo plymouth --show-splash
and kill it $ sudo plymouth quit
. Or as a one liner:
$ sudo plymouthd; sudo plymouth --show-splash ; for ((I=0; I<10; I++)); do sudo plymouth --update=test$I ; sleep 1; done; sudo plymouth quit
