I can fix the reason of the crash, but one thing I wonder is if the theme does not show up among the installed themes before doing this?
SUM should scan /usr/lib/usplash for installed themes so they should show up in the gui if they are already there.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

If you can come up with a patch, we can probably get it approved to put
this in Hardy.

[Jimmy Rönnholm (jronnholm)]

I have released version 1.9.11. It only contains the fix for this bug and another one-line bugfix so it should be safe to add to hardy.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

For Hardy we will need to patch the existing version. Please provide a
diff (debdiff if you know how) and then we can see about getting it
approved.

[Jimmy Rönnholm (jronnholm)]

No thanks, I do not have time to start providing patches to various distros.
I do not really care if this get into Hardy, but the source is out there for you if you want it.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

It's released on Debian unstable, so it will go to Ubuntu Intrepid and if someone wants after that, backport it to Hardy. Relax :-)

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

It's now available on Ubuntu Intrepid, so I set it to Fix Released.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

The upstream diff is quite reasonable IMHO (attached).

@motu-sru: what do you think about it? Can I upload this new version to hardy-proposed?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Looks good, you should limit to upload relevant part only, detail in ChangeLog is just cosmetic.

I was thinking in uploading the new version directly as it just contains the two
bug fixes.

Can I upload it or do I need to patch the current version in Hardy? Both options
are the same in the end so I don't know what is preferred...

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Your choice, since they ship the same amount of code.
Just use a safe versioning such as 1.9.10-2ubuntu0.1 or 1.9.11-1~hardy1

Uploaded the new release as startupmanager_1.9.11-1~hardy1. The debian/ dir
doesn't include the changes from the Intrepid version, just in case, so it's
just the two bug fixes from the upstream release.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Version 1.9.11-1~hardy1 no longer crashes while trying to open .so usplash files in /usr/lib/usplash.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Copied to hardy-updates.
