This is an Usplash theme built on Ubuntu 7.10 but currently tested on 7.04 and 6.10.

Best effects are reached at 1024x768 and non-quiet mode (as explained on ReadMe).

You can also find documentation on the homepage of the project

You can also use an intuitive gui to install this theme called [ustartup manager. You can find it here:

Ok, I looks great and works almost perfect. The only thing is I noticed that when I first boot up there is boot-up info that fills the whole screen for a couple seconds before the comptus screen shows up. Is there any way to get rid of the initial text?
Thanks!

How hard would it be to remove the "now booting linux" and add the ubuntu logo script?
Or would that even look good?

hello. i tryed your alpha2 version on my 1024x768, but the result was saying, there is no theme/picture for such resolution. then i tryed the alpha1 and everything goes fine (just the problem with vga=791). so - in the alpha2 is not the splashscreen in 1024x768 resolution?

It seems strange to me because from alpha1 to alpha 2 I just changed a line for the text color and nothing about resolution...they are exactly the same theme... Could you please try to reinstall the newer version ? It sounds really strange ... if the alpha 1 works the alpha 2 should work as well. However they are completely the same theme so you can also continue using the alpha 1.

It works fine on 7.04 using the Startup Manager.

I had to remove quiet and vga=792 from my kernel line for it to work.

An easy way of changing the loading screen is using start up manager to install the .so themes. It offers all the options you'd want through a nice GUI. You can get it at www.getdeb.net

BTW, i did not encounter any bugs, so that's fine!

I used that and couldn't boot both ubuntu and vista. It changed locations in the menu.lst out of the blue.

Thank God i had the old menu.lst backed up otherwise i would've been fux0red.

Anyway, restored grub/menu.lst and now screen loads fine on boot up too... no idea why the hell stuff happens so randomly without changing anything.

So it's better to use the manual way I believe :D

You know, you're right. It does change the menu file. It's not hard at all to put windows back in the list but the program should not be doing that.

Report

Yup.

Manual way is much better since you actually know what you're doing without having to rely on some program doing it for you and not showing you what it's modifying in the process :D

Nice work, just a problem, I cant see the files loaded on the rectangle like the screenshot

This is the code without modifications:

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-11-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash locale=es_ES
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic
quiet
savedefault
boot

and this with modification:

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-11-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda2 ro splash locale=es_ES vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic
savedefault
boot

so, what's wrong?

You need to keep the quite at the end

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-11-generic
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda2 ro splash locale=es_ES vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-11-generic
quiet
savedefault
boot

it has to be deleted only in the kernel line

Try like this and let me know

I'm sorry but I do not know what to suggest you...

These are my own lines

title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.22-7-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-7-generic root=UUID=04cc9cac-58a5-4683-9637-86caa3ec4b63 ro splash noapic locale=it_IT
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-7-generic
quiet
savedefault

As u can see from the default parameters of ubuntu I just cut off the quit and added the vga. Nothing more...i did not any other modify.

I've followed your guide and while doing "update-initramfs -u" i get this errors:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.21
find: /lib/firmware/2.6.21: No such file or directory

It finishes it fine after that but i only get your splash screen only when shutting down or rebooting. When i boot i still see the old Ubuntu orange splash image.

This is a fault of you system...what are u using? Seems like it can't update its own booting script...perhaps it's better if you ask support to your distro forum...

Sorry I tried it but I can't view the "verbose mode" in the area. How can I do this? I followed all the readme.
