    Re: HOWTO: Spice up your boot text [font resolution and color]

    Nice howto, sir.
    I realize I'm bumping, buuuuuuuuuuut figured I'd show mine off (the relevant function)..

    Code:
    log_end_msg (){
        [ -z "$1" ] && return 1
        TPUT=/usr/bin/tput
        EXPR=/usr/bin/expr
        if [ -x $TPUT ] && [ -x $EXPR ] && $TPUT hpa 60 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            COLS=`$TPUT cols`
            if [ -n "$COLS" ]; then
                COL=`$EXPR $COLS - 7`
            else
                COL=73
            fi
            UP=`$TPUT cuu1`
            END=`$TPUT hpa $COL`
            START=`$TPUT hpa 0`
            RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
    	WHITE=`($TPUT bold; $TPUT setaf 7)`
    	CYAN=`$TPUT setaf 6`
    	PRPL=`$TPUT setaf 5`
    	GREEN=`$TPUT setaf 2`
            NORMAL=`$TPUT op`
            if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "$WHITE$UP$NORMAL$END${CYAN}[${GREEN} ok ${CYAN}]$NORMAL"
            else
                echo -e "$WHITE$UP$NORMAL$START $RED*$NORMAL$END${PRPL}[${RED}fail${PRPL}]$NORMAL"
            fi
        else
    	if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "   ...done."
            else
                echo "   ...fail!"
            fi
        fi
       return $1
    }
    Probably too much zest, but hey, it looks nice to me.
    Thanks again, sir.

    Re: HOWTO: Spice up your boot text [font resolution and color]

    duminas has a nice idea.... post your init-functions file if you've got a unique one! All of the boot and shutdown text customization (aside from the resolution) occurs in the /lib/lsb/init-functions file. It's actually pretty flexible. Just recently, I changed all of the text to blue, yellow and green.. and moved the "ok" or "fail" to the left side of the screen rather than the right. See the screenshot (crummy quality, phone shot, but you get the point!). Personally I really like the yellow text, it livens things up a lot, and produces some nice variation on the screen. It's much easier to read.

    I cleaned up the init-functions file a bit, and moved all the color options to the top of the file, making them accessible throughout. It could probably be cleaned up more, but it was enough for me.

    I've attached two versions of my init-functions. Just BACKUP your original init-functions and replace them with mine below. Simply rename it back to your original to go back to normal.

    init-functions-front.txt (remove the .txt): Produces output in screenshot. Results "success, fail" are shown on the left side of the screen before each item. Colorful and easy to read.

    init-functions-yellow.txt (remove the .txt): Standard output with colors. Results "[ ok ], [ fail ]" are on the right side, like the default. This just adds color.

    Ahh bummer. What happens in breezy, nothing? Seems strange, I wouldn't think init-functions be so different that it would break. What did you try to do?

    Re: HOWTO: Spice up your boot text [font resolution and color]

    Is there info on how to do this with other colors since your guide only explains how to do it with green. when i try to change green to another color is not seen as that color it stays with green when using this guide..

    Re: HOWTO: Spice up your boot text [font resolution and color]

    Sorry to ressurect this thread, but I was wondering if it is possible to apply this change to Dapper?

    the log_end_message is what is called by the init scripts, and it looks like this:

    Code:
    log_end_msg () {
        # If no arguments were passed, return
        [ -z "$1" ] && return 1
    
        # Only do the fancy stuff if we have an appropriate terminal
        # and if /usr is already mounted
        if log_use_fancy_output; then
            RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`
            NORMAL=`$TPUT op`
            if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "."
            else
                /bin/echo -e " ${RED}failed!${NORMAL}"
            fi
        else
    	if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "."
            else
                echo " failed!"
            fi
        fi
        return $1
    }
    Unfortunately, changing this function makes no change to the screen output!! And besides, the function surely would display "failed!" not "fail" as I actually get from my test script...

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    . /lib/lsb/init-functions
    
    log_begin_msg "Testing with 0 as my value..."
    log_end_msg 0
    
    log_begin_msg "Testing with 1 as my value..."
    log_end_msg 1
    And nowhere can I find the OK message that is shown when the command completes successfully..!
