_______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Advisory MDKA-2006:046 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : bootsplash Date : October 24, 2006 Affected: 2007.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: When multiple profiles are configured, they can be choosen in the bootloader with the PROFILE keyword, but this needs a dedicated entry or to append manually the profile at each boot. To ease the choice of the profile during the boot time, Mandriva developed a frame buffer menu in GTK to choose the profile. Unfortunately in 2007, a miscompilation removed this application from the bootsplash package, thus the only left method to choose a profile was the bootloader one. This new package of bootsplash brings back the 'fbmenu' command which display the appropriate profile selection menu during boot. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26353 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2007.0: 790a13236e31e321e85ed8b1e4b289d6 2007.0/i586/bootsplash-3.1.14-1.1mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 0030db663c174307a8223441c4100971 2007.0/SRPMS/bootsplash-3.1.14-1.1mdv2007.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2007.0/X86_64: d5d8fc0eb6b01fb1083f6e3327d3230a 2007.0/x86_64/bootsplash-3.1.14-1.1mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 0030db663c174307a8223441c4100971 2007.0/SRPMS/bootsplash-3.1.14-1.1mdv2007.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
