Any way to add an "It's now safe to turn off your computer" message at the end of shutdown?
Any way to add an "It's now safe to turn off your computer" message at the end of shutdown?
I want to do this for my raspberry pis since they don't have an ACPI system in place. I think it would look really nice combined with XFCE and the chicago95 theme. So I would prefer it if it were showing it like the windows 95 shutdown screen, maybe using an image file? There's a lot of information on the shutdown process on linux but not much on the topic of altering it.
Just before shutdown you're at the terminal so something like this https://github.com/stolk/imcat on the image at the end of shutdown script might work.
This sounds perfect. Thank you.
Once you've figured this out, tell me about it please! :-D
I was just thinking about how I miss this screen the other day haha
This looks like it represents the image with block characters, so it ends up being very low res. I suspect it will be horrible at rendering text.
@RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml, maybe you can hack this together with something like plymouth. Normally it's for the boot process, but it might work for shutting down as well.
It's not safe to turn off your computer.
