Cannot open fiesta.xpm

[Carthik Sharma]

The package provides grub splash images (.xpm.gz files). One of those splash images, fiesta.xpm does not appear to a file of type .xpm. In fact, nautilus tells me the following:

The filename "fiesta.xpm" indicates that this file is of type "X PixMap image". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "plain text document". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "plain text document", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.

Also, another splash image, gentleblue has a Gentoo logo in it!!

Cheers!

fiesta.xpm is missing the XPM header: Add as a first line

/* XPM */

and it displays OK.

Why this bug isn't fixed yet? There is a working patch for a long time.

hi, a "me too" report here,

you might think that this is only a superficial problem, but it renders
the text console completely unreadable. i am at a complete loss why
this hasn't even solicited a response from the maintainer(s)--let alone
why it hasn't been fixed given that you only need to add one line
to the top of the xpm file.

i would assume that this is just a case of MIA maintainers... but is
the grub team really MIA?

in any case, if i don't hear back by the weekend, i'll prepare an
NMU via the standard procedure.

It's me from the team who is responsible for this and I've just been
busy and have had no time to followup on it. I'll try to get it done
soon.

okay. in the meantime, i'm following through with my previous
commitment to do an NMU.

following standard NMU procedures, i've just sent an upload into the
7-day DELAYED queue on gluck. the only difference introduced
in this change is the addition of the line

/* XPM */

to the top of the gzipped copy of fiesta.xpm. a point of advice for
future uploads of grub-splashimages: there's no reason to have these
files gzipped in the source archive, as (a) it makes it impossible for
me to provide you with a sensible patch, and (b) the tarball containing
them is gzipped anyway. you could always have debian/rules gzip them
in the binary debs too, so there would be not noticable difference
for people who installed the packages. but this is a somewhat
superficial change, so i'll leave it to you to decide whether
or not it's worthwhile.

Hi Fabien,

The bug you reported is indeed present in sarge, and has been already
reported in #266846 and fixed for testing and unstable in october 2005.

If you want to correct this on your sarge system, just add by hand the
line below as the first line for fiesta.xpm.gz
/* XPM */

Thanks for you report.
