Problem with Splash screen

Wed Nov 07, 2018 2:37 pm

Hello everyone

As in the titel said I have a problem with my splashscreen

I know there are already many topics with this problem.
I have read and tried them ALL :(
So I hope you can help me.

I use raspbian jessie (not NOOBS) and made all the updates upgrades and dist upgrades on a raspberry pi 3B.

First i eliminated all blinking cursors rainbowscreen etc.
Here is what my cmdline.txt looks like

Code: Select all

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=dfb361b4-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles logo.nologo consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 quiet vt.global_cursor_default=0
then i worked through this tutorial

http://www.raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi ... -up-screen

but that did not work and after some hours i decided to try an other one.

that brought me up to that one

https://yingtongli.me/blog/2016/12/21/splash.html

This one worked pretty well except for the problem that the fhirts 6 to 8 sec (sometimes it takes a little longer) of the boot process the screen is black so you get confused if the pi is even starting
that means i can see my splashscreen for only 3 seconds.
It is very important that screen apears as fast as possible but i don´t really know what to do next.

here is the output of systemed-analyze

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/boot $ systemd-analyze critical-chain 
The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

                          └─-.slice @626ms
pi@raspberrypi:/boot $ 
So my idea was how to bring the splashscren.srvice on the top of this list? could that work?
Or is there any other way to solve this problem?

It would be grat if anyone could help me please.
Thank you.

Edit i have also replaced the plymouth splash.png with my own splash.png
