How do I install this? Thanks in advance.
You can do it with the GIMP too, check this websites to view how to do it. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LG/current/jayanth.html http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-1243.html and thanx.
This jpeg needs to be converted to xpm format, then gzip-ped. sudo aptitude install imagemagick convert ubuntugrub.jpg ubuntugrub.xpm gzip ubuntugrub.xpm After that, move the ubuntugrub.xpm.gz file to the directory /boot/grub/splashes. sudo mkdir /boot/grub/splashes sudo mv ubuntugrub.xpm.gz /boot/grub/splashes After that, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit /add this line somewhere near the top of the file: splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splashes/ubuntugrub.xpm.gz Sounds easy enough eh?
Very nice, thx for the work! The only comment I have is that the words at the bottom in white are a little hard to read on the background,but that's very minor. This is my favorite splash...Thanks again.
Better to call it splash.xpm.gz and put it in /boot. And the run sudo update-grub.
I tried that method, however I got this from "sudo update-grub" Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
Try this guide: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/ (for Ubuntu) It suggets making a link to the splash file: sudo ln -s /boot/grub/splashimages/whatever.xpm.gx /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz And then updating grub: sudo update-grub It worked fine for me!
