Boot logo change
#1

Does anyone know if and how I can change the feather logo that appears when booting LL2.6. My users dislike it and would prefer something a bit less depressing.

I used Grub Customizer to change the boot splash image and show the text rolling. Here's a couple of videos I watched to see how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijPb8f7oVXU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwwDFLrkhVk

I use the still feather logo that I darkened that I previously posted. I just like seeing the text roll.  ;D

Doesn't he talk about Plymouth theme? I don't see any GRUB feather...

I've heard a feather described as many things, but never as 'depressing' :)

No offence! It's what users have expressed to me. They just think it's not inviting enough as introduction to the best OS. Personally, I like it, but each to his own. Grub customizer looks like a solution.  :)

Hello!

I believe plymouth controls the LL boot screen, so GRUB Customizer won't help you with THAT. However, it WILL let you add a pretty picture to your GRUB bootloader. For some examples, grab grub2-splashimages:

Code:
sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages

You will then find these images in the /usr/share/images/grub folder.

Here's a link to a way to change the plymouth splash screen, but personally, I don't recommend 'playing around' with plymouth, as one boo-boo can leave your LL system unbootable, and I don't think Boot Repair can fix such a mistake.

There is a GUI called Plymouth Manager, but I DEFINITELY don't recommend it - again, for the reasons above.

Oh, yeah, the plymouth link:

Best of luck...
