    Having problems trying to run "Make Usplash 1.04"



    Hiya

    Am following a really good tutorial on Koha wiki about setting up an internet kiosk.

    I've got to this part here:

    Double click on the USplash 1.04.tar.gz file, and you will see a new file appear on your desktop called Make USplash.tar.gz, that looks like a CDRom. Open it, and then drag the file to the desktop. Download the PNG file you created to the desktop. One way would be to post it to a website, browse to that website, and then save the file from the website to the desktop, or email it to yourself, or ncat(remove after using) or……………. Applications, Accessories, Terminal Type in

    /bin/bash “Make Usplash 1.04” /home/administrator/desktop/NAMEOFYOURPNGFILE.png
    Seems very straightforward but it's not running for some reason. If I type the exact command I get this message:

    /bin/bash: Make Usplash 1.04: No such file or directory

    I've attached apic of the desktop for people to see the files do exist - any thoughts? Cheers

    Platform: Ubuntu server 9.04 32-bit

    I took a quick look at "Make Usplash" and it's just a shell script.

    Try it as so
    Code:
    sh ./Make\ Usplash\ 1.04 /home/administrator/desktop/NAMEOFYOURPNGFILE.png
    Make sure you are in the same directory as the extracted Make Usplash script.

    from the image you attached i get the impression that you are in the wrong directory
    try.

    > cd /home/cafesupport/desktop
    > /bin/bash “Make Usplash 1.04” splash.png
