Hi,
When you install the debian logo package you get added boot logo's
You can edit these with ImageMagick.
But when you edit one of these with ImageMagick it generates a type 6 file
(first line: P6) which the kernel compile does not recognize, it wants a P3
file.
I could swear I once fixed this with *rawtoppm* but I cannot find that now.
Anybody edited Debian Logo files?
I never did that, but I know that you can convert a "P6" .ppm (24 bpp,
binary) to a "P3" .ppm (24 bpp, ASCII) with imagemagick's "convert"
command:
convert -compress none old.ppm new.ppm
I assume that the "-compress none" option can also be used with other
imagemagick commands that produce PPM files.
Florian: Thanks for taking the time out to answer.
Yep!
convert -compress none logo_linux_debian_changed.ppm
logo_linux_debian_converted.ppm
That converts it!
But I am at this moment recompiling the Debian kernel with the P6 logo
and I seem to remember that the compile ends with an error message that
indicates how to convert it.
Funny, I record everything I do in a special blog and this trick escaped
me...
Stand by.
