source out the boot video
 
Hi,
I want to free up my rootfs and so I want to source out the boot video to an other directory.

I typed the commands in the follow order:
Code:
sudo gainroot

mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/media
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome
rm -r media
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/media /usr/share/hildon-welcome
In the /home/user/MyDocs/media I stored the video what I want as boot viedo.

If I type
Code:
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
xterm show me
Code:
/home/user/MyDocs/media
So I think the systemlink is correct, but on startup the device donīt show the video.

Do I make a mistake or is it impossible to source out the boot video?

Is MyDocs mounted before the boot video runs?

hmm I donīt know.
Wich directories are mounted before the boot video run and arenīt in the rootfs?
When the storage card is mounted?

Tried moving the media folder you created or just the video to /opt/ ?

Iīll try to explain all steps to put the boot video to another directory (with my bad english). Itīs a bit faster than my first way. Because I move the whole directory to /opt

1st.: run xterm and type
Code:
sudo gainroot
2nd.: move the directory, where the boot video is storaged to /opt
Code:
mv /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media /opt
3rd: link the new directory path to the old. So the system can find the boot video at startup
Code:
ln -s /opt/media /usr/share/hildon-welcome
If you want to have another boot video, you can modify
Code:
/etc/hildon-welcone.d/default.conf
just enter the video name that you have storaged in /opt/media

I hope you understood what I did.

You mean I need write this in the default.conf file:

Code:
[hildon-welcome]
filename=/opt/media/my_video.avi
?

Hi, no, only the file name
Code:
[hildon-welcome]
filename=video.avi
