MX Boot Animation at testing

[Eadwine Rose]

Looking good!!

[Jerry3904]

That's great work, freja and CharlesV!

[Freja]

Many thanks.
It was an unforgettable and wonderful experience.
I learned values beyond economics.
Simply put, it is "passion".

I've told asqwerth by PM before,
I'll let the Dev team and everyone handle the situation after.

I will be away from the MX community for a while after this.

If you need me, please contact me at the e-mail address I gave to asqwerth.
(Ask to asqwerth for details.)

Thanks @Eadwine Rose & @Jerry3904

Glad you like them!

CharlesV will made "Font replace: Dejavu ExtraBold" and "Mountain appear bug fixed"
boot animation's code. (I have requested)

It's okay, I'm back!

@Freja Here is the updated MXLive Plymouth set with your updated graphics.

I took a few images out of the shutdown images that were just black, shortening it a bit. Re-numbered it all as you requested and have tested under two machines so far. (Both MX23) . I will continue testing, on a few more machines, but I am pretty confident that it is good to go.

Please have a look - you should test as well! And let me know if there is any issue.

Please download it, and do the following:

1) Copy the MXLive folder inside to
/usr/share/plymouth/themes

( You should have /usr/share/plymouth/themes/MXLive when done )

2) Set these files into use with the following command
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme MXLive -R

reboot.

Thank you for your wonderful work!

Works fine with 15inch nVIDIA MacBook Pro.(H-2880px V-1800px)
However, the shutdown animation is not displayed.

Hmm... I have now tried it on five machines and it worked perfectly ( all mx 21. ) IS that what your trying it on?

Make sure you copied the MXLive folder as sudo or root, and then did

Code: Select all

sudo plymouth-set-default-theme MXLive -R

My MX-MacBook Pro 15 nvidia is when shutdown,
all nothing pisplay (blackscreen) and shuts down.
I think this is not boot plymouth problem, other cause.
(I think your code is probably perfect.)

Your tested 5machines included low resolution model? (ex: 1366x768,1024x768, 1280x800 etc.)

If this boot-animation can run on low resolution machines,
Our works is looks like perfect.

Cool.. I dont have anything that goes down below 1280x800 . And that worked ok. The slowest Dell laptop I have is slower i3, but has an ssd in it, and the animation wasnt smooth on it but it was ok.

The 1920x1200 images as D_O said will be cut off top and bottom by any screen under 800, the other issue is file size. The 1920 graphics will be a tiny bit slower, but they are only 8kb larger, so it probably wont be too much more noticeable.

I have one slower computer I will test today after I build it ;_) .. I believe the slowest thing I have is an AMD FX-8350 on platter - I will check. Probably setup on a pocket drive and on a slow computer will be a little off.
