Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Glad to help out... ;)

Did You try to play the .avi file in Media Player?

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

sic, i dont have a boot vid, but seriously considering thins one, nice job

personally, though, i think it would be even better without the grid pattern.....

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Thanks, I'm using this one now. Very nice indeed.

Edit: As an aside for anyone else wnating to use this. make sure you change the downloaded vid to a name that has no spaces in it. Other wise the conf file wont recognize it on boot, and you'll just go straight to the desktop (which some would consider a good thing).

Nice work!

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

I love this boot video! It's short and it's hot! :) I will use it when my N900 arrives!

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

ok guys im really sorry bout this, im not any good with any of this codes but hell i would want to change my welcome video.


but it said "not found"

what i did was i downloaded this extremely short but awesome video and renamed it to maemo2.avi and copied it to the documents folder in my nokia n900.

i also downloaded the default.conf and copied it to documents folder in nokia.

1st i typed:
sudo gainroot

which was accepted.

2nd i typed:
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/default.conf /etc/hildon-welcome.d/


which gave me a response of "not found"


uhhh..help me? im on a dead end here. (for me)


please send me a private message.
would really appreciate that.

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

i think mv is a little bit *****y on the n900. encountered some problem there too.
you may want to try "cp" instead and delete the files afterwards to free space. :)

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Theme Marina + this boot video = perfect combination!!!!

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Hi All,

Would it be possible to change the heading of this thread to begin with [boot video] like the other threads that contain boot videos, makes searching easier.

To the OP thanks a mill this is brilliant :-)

to others trying to make the changes

Here is what I did:
(please note I had to use cp for default.conf as mv would not work) also (please note tha tI change my video name to myboot.avi, meaning that the conf file needs to have myboot in it.)

sudo gainroot
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/default.conf /etc/hildon-welcome.d/
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/myboot.avi /opt/
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/
ln -s /opt/myboot.avi myboot.avi

I have also found out that you can have multiple boot videos playing after each other , the system will run the conf files in alphabetic order :-)

I hope this helps others.

Thanks
Chris

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

I agree. Sorry for naming.
For a Moderator - can you please change the name of the thread to:
"[Boot Video] really short one - Vanishing"

Thanks.

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

HA HA HA sorry I'm not a mod, just thought it would be easier as it's the same as the other threads

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

good job bro.

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

hi all,
this video is brilliant and it looks pretty cool compared to the original Nokia one, however it doesn't seem to play if I boot the phone while the charger is plugged in. Am I the only one with this problem? Anybody's got any idea?
Thanks everybody :)

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

I know you're not, i just asked any mod to do it when he reads it.

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Nice stylish video. Thanks for this...

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Looked grand...
Kudos 4 it!

But just can't 2 videos to run at startup...
Can somebody tell how there default config files looks like..

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

A default default.conf looks like this (if that's what you're asking):
(that's the standard default.conf)

If what you're asking is how a defaul.conf with modified boot video looks like (excuse me for misunderstanding), this is what mine looks like now:
with my new boot video (n900_splash.avi) sitting in /opt/bootmedia/ off course ;)

EDIT: Btw, to the OP: really nice work! yours is my boot video now, I like it a LOT! :D

Greetz,
Dries

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

No sorry, I meant that I want both videos to run when I start up.
So a loop of 2 short videos...

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Ah I see, you can add any number of .conf files in the /etc/hildon-welcome.d/ folder, each of them formatted as
so you could have a default.conf (referring to the first video you want to show during startup) and a default2.conf (referring to the second video you want to show during startup)

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Thanks Dries, unfortunately I can't seem tp copy and paste a default2.conf in to /etc/hildon-welcom.d/

This error appears in MC:

Can not be created.
Not a directory (20)

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

amazing dude, really amazing :)
nice design ;)

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Hey, could it be that you have a typo in the directory you want to copy to? You'd want to copy your default2.conf to the "/etc/hildon-welcome.d/" directory ;)

I hope it works now!

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

I got it from some direction in another thread!
It need to be hildon-welcome.d but in my download package was stated hildon-welcom.d

I have got it now.
Thanx Dries 4 getting me this second movie on startup!

2 bad there is a small gap between them....

Re: New really short boot video - Vanishing
 

Nice video. Tnx, man.
