Raspberry Pi 3 - Splash screen - Plymouth

Postby crfina » Wed Feb 28, 2018 9:55 pm

Hi,
I'm trying to install a splash screen using plymouth on a Raspberry Pi 3,
I did it successfully on a virtualbox ArchLinux x86_64 instance with this operations [1]
but the same operations are not working on the Raspberry.
The command sudo makepkg -s fail with this error: plymouth is not available for the 'armv7h'

The plymouth package is not available neither on https://archlinuxarm.org/packages archive.


Does anybody have successfully installed plymouth on Rasp Pi 3 or know how to do it ?


thanks in advance!

[1]
git clone https://archlinuxarm.org/packages
sudo makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U plymouth-0.9.3-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Hi,

Let's focus on the PKGBUILD-file of the AUR-package.

You can see, there is a variable on top, which says "arch=('i686' 'x86_64')". You can try to add " 'armv7'" to that, to skip the architecture checking. Then you will probably also want to remove the md5sums. I believe you can write "skip" into the field of that array - please take a closer look into PKGBUILD [1] or the documentation of makepkg.

This basically makes the program think the package is available for armv7 and skips all checksum-checks, so it will not check the consistency of the downloaded source-package and therefore not know whether a version changed or a package has been modified. Trying to build might work, but whatever happens, is completely your responsibility.
