General :: Boot Splash Image In Ubuntu?

Mar 4, 2010

Changing GRUB image I am using ubuntu 8.04 I read [URL] got gnu-head.xpm.gz (it has 12 colors & 640x480 resolution) Added following line at beginning of menu.lst splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/gnu-head.xpm.gz
Remember no space after (hd0,5). I did that mistake once and got error Failed to read ((hd0,5)⏏/boot/grub/gnu-head.xpm.gz) Press any key to continue Coming back to point . Now run # update-grub

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst

[code]....

Isn't this interesting. If you want to change the image during bootup then see [URL]

General :: Replace The Scrolling Text During Boot-up With A Splash Image?

Mar 10, 2011

I need some help in determining how to have a color splash image display in place of the Linux scrolling-text during the boot-up process on an embedded Linux device. The kernel used is a stripped-down version of Linux (kernel 2.6.29), which has been custom configured. I am using syslinux as the bootloader. I was told that Plymouth might be the way to go with this, but I'm not sure.

Ubuntu :: Boot Splash Static With Green Lines Across Image

Mar 17, 2011

Upon boot up the usual little mouse splash boot is suppose to come up. Once I first installed it (10.10 via usb) the boot screen worked perfectly but after I updated via the update manager the boot splash became all static and green lines across the image. It still boots up to the login screen but it's just ugly looking at it.

I have (via hwinfo)

Fedora :: Changing 14 Splash Image?

Oct 31, 2010

For those who wish to change the default login splash background in fedora 14, the offending graphics are to be found in /usr/share/backgrounds/laughlin/default.

Step 1 is to add your preferred ping image alongside the laughlin.png in whichever directory your monitor uses. I am apparently "normalish" so I put my background there. 1280x1024 RGB.

Step 2 - edit the "laughlin.xml" file in the "default" directory, replacing "laughlin.png" with the name of the file you added above.

To get the proper dimensions for an image, you can load laughlin.png into the GIMP and read Image/Properties. While there, you could erase the contents of the image and replace with your own, similar to rinsing out your mouth. Then spit.

If you use a graphic from outside fedora, don't forget to run restorecon on the file, or else SELinux won't allow gdm to display it.

Ubuntu :: How To Change Splash Image / Don't Mention Anything About Enabling It

Nov 18, 2010

I have installed backtrack4 on my laptop with windows7, and installed grub2.I am having a problem on showing a splash screen.I don't have a splash screen that shows neither on grub2 nor grub legacy.I have searched too many tutorials, but I don't know what's the problem, because all of them shows how to change the splash image, but don't mention anything about enabling it.Note that the live cd loads an image.So I don't think it's my vga or something.

Debian Configuration :: Changing Grub Splash Image?

Nov 27, 2010

I decided to finally change the grub 1.98 splash image today and found a few tutorials on how to do so. They all pretty much said the same thing. Resize an image to 640 x 480, save it as a .tga, stick it in /boot/grub/images/desktop-base. I did so and opened /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme and changed WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga}" to WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/56871.{png,tga}". After that I ran update-grub. When it told me the image it found, it said it found desktop-grub. I don't know what I did wrong but it's not finding my image. Like an idiot I forgot to back up the original file but the only thing I changed was that WALLPAPER line, like I said. I had copied that version of the file and pasted it in another document before messing around with different parts of the file to see if I could get it to work. Everything ended in failure so I copied the back up in the other document and simply pasted it over the one I had been tinkering with. However, when I try to update grub I get a syntax error which I didn't before with the exact file I have now. The error reads:

/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme: 65: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "}")

Here's my grub file.

#!/bin/sh -e
. /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib
# this allows desktop-base to override our settings
f=/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh

[Code]....

I'm completely lost at this point, both on how to actually change the splash image and why I'm getting a syntax error.

General :: Can't Boot A Restored Image?

May 6, 2011

I'm trying to create test system on which I can load saved images of a number of different distributions / versions from saved images. I'm using Acronis in Windows to manage the partitions and the images. This works fine for a while but every now and then I do something (typically install a new distro / version) and subsequent restores of the previously working images fail. After restoring the image I get a "grub rescue" prompt and thereafter I'm stuck. Typical advice in this situation seems to revolve around repairing the installation using a bootable dvd, but that's not really relevant in my case - I'm trying to find a way to reliably load these images. My configuration is

HD 1
Partition 1 -> Windows 15GB used to manage the system with Acronis.
Partition 2 -> 20GB partition, used to mount linux ext3/4 image (or other operating systems)
Partition 3 -> 20GB partition, used to mount linux swap partition
remainder unformatted
HD2 1 big partition to hold saved images

When ever I install an image I mount "/" and swap on partition 1 and 2. Whenever I save an image I save the MBR of HD1 and partitions 2 and 3 and of course the reverse to recover. So yesterday I recovered my Ubuntu 10.10 image and booted (selecting the OS in Acronis OS selector (boot manager)) which then shows me GRUB and then boots Linux. I then performed an Ubuntu upgrade to 11.4 and saved the image as usual. I then restored the 10.10 image and where I would normally see the grub menu I get "grub rescue>". So clearly the upgrade has messed with something grub related, but my question is where? It can't be in the MBR of HD1 or either of the partitions 2 / 3 as these get restored. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong, or at least explain where these grub files actually are? I have always assumed that anything grub related is in my active partition (with the MBR "pointing to" this), clearly this is not correct.

General :: Creating An Image For PXE Boot

Jul 14, 2010

Right direction regarding the creation of a bootable Linux Image for PXE booting. I've already consulted google and the other obvious sources I could think of, but it seems that PXE is mostly used to install stuff, which isn't quite what I need.

The goal here is to have a pool of computers that boot from a central source so maintenance is less of a hassle. Installation of the individual PCs is not desired and I'm supposed to provide a functional Linux via PXE booting.

What I need is basically a way to turn a working Linux into an image that can be booted via network. Or to recreate that Linux as an image that I can boot.

Ubuntu :: Reset All Personalization Such As Splash Screen And Colors In Grub Splash To Default?

Apr 25, 2010

If I re-install Grub 2 from the live CD should that reset all the personalisations such as as splash screen and colours in the Grub splash to default? In my case they are not resetting. I would expect them to revert to the default black/white you get when initially installing the OS. the Grub timeout to be a lot less than its supposed to be? e.g. the default timeout setting of 5 seconds is more like 2 or 3 in reality, and when I set my prefered value to 2 seconds it results in being about 1/4 sec or so.

Ubuntu :: Splash Screen Messed Up - Get Random Command Lines Mixed In With The Usual Splash

Jan 26, 2011

Since updating my graphics driver on ubuntu 10.10, My splash screen has been inconsistant and messed up. Sometimes ill get random command lines mixed in with the usual splash, sometimes the splash wont show and it will just be black till the desktop appears, sometimes it flashes on and off. I originally tried fixing the resolution and just made the problem worse. Then I tried installing a new splash via gnome-look.org, but it just made my shut-down splash blank and didnt effect my splash at startup. I just want the original splash that ubuntu is supposed to have.

Ubuntu :: Splash Screen Startup - Goes Blank For A Minute Then Briefly Shows The Splash For 5-10 Seconds

Mar 26, 2011

I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu, and on the start-up after I pass the GRUB it goes blank for a minute then briefly shows the splash for 5-10 secs and then jumps to the login screen. Also the screen is offset by about 10-15 pixels but from the login screen onwards it is centred. (It's also like this for if I'm in recovery mode)
How do I fix this and Im wondering if it is a hardware problem?

The boot program is written in assembly language and compiled with nasm.I use bxiamge.exe in Bochs and create an floppy image called boot.img and configure the Bochs virtual host to boot from this floppy image. My question is how to write the compiled boot.bin program into the floppy image(boot.img)?

General :: No Cd-rom Or Network / Dd A Usb Boot Image To A Hard Drive?

Aug 30, 2010

I acquired an old IBM Thinkpad 770e the other day and it runs fine but I have an issue installing Linux on it. It has a floppy drive in it not a cd drive. It also does not have an ethernet jack or wifi.

I did clone my external firewall image to the drive but that image is partitioned in such a way to make it impractical for a laptop/desktop system. So I know that the machine will boot off a floppy and it will run off the hard drive. The bios test utility reports no hardware problems.

What I had hoped to do was to install some suitable distro to it. Not sure which one yet, any recommends? Damn Small Linux would be good except that you are limited to what they offer. I would also prefer to stay with a debian based distro.

The issue is install media. Floppy install images are not practical, and there is no cd drive. Is it possible to boot off a floppy and then chroot to, say a usb flash drive to do the install?

I do have a wifi card (d-link DWL-G650) that fits the micor-channel slot but it requires the madwifi driver which needs the kernel source and depends to be able to install. Not something that normally works out of the box so to speak.

Another question that comes to mind, Is it possible to dd a usb boot image to a hard drive and have it work?
