silent splash progress bar does not progress

I got a laptop from my employer (Novell) nearly 3 months ago. I installed both Gentoo and SLED in it. I didn't setup fbsplash on it when I installed Gentoo. I tried it today.

However, I found the progress bar in silent mode did not progress. It stayed at "Initializing kernel", 0%.

Finally, I found the reason was that I didn't have "/lib/rc/plugins" directory and as a consequence splashutils openrc plugin splash.so can't be installed into this directory. And that's why the progress bar does not progress.

I think maybe it is a bug in openrc. But I am not sure and I can't investigate it further today, it is already 3 pm. :( So I just left a note here. :)

Hi there, mate, when first trying out openrc plus splashutils i faced a similar problem. It seems Roy recommends remerging openrc to fix some stuff. I did it and it worked.

See you,

Tibbs.

I rebuilt splashutils and the directory appeared. It works now.

Rippled thread cpu usage

The cpu usage of xrp.ninja validator spikes every 2 hours. I always wonder what it is doing during the spikes. So I wrote a script to report the thead cpu usage to a statsd server.  I started statsd/graphite/grafana using  https://github.com/ripple/rippledmon Then I wrote this script: #!/usr/bin/python3 import collections import itertools import os import re import statsd import subprocess import time HEADER = b'%CPU COMMAND' STATSD = 'XXX' PORT = 'YYY' PREFIX = 'rippled.threads' TOP = 'env HOME={0} top -b -n 1 -p $(pgrep rippled) -H'.format(os.getcwd()) def report(c, jobs): p = subprocess.run(TOP, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) if p.returncode != 0: print(p.stderr) return m = collections.defaultdict(float) for line in itertools.dropwhile(lambda x: x != HEADER, p.stdout.splitlines()): if line == HEADER: continue usage, comm = line.decode().str
