I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 in text only mode and on 1st console (tty1) I see background (wallpaper) and logo at upper left corner: I know that I can to disable this splash permanently (menu.lst) or temporarily ('echo 0 > /proc/splash'). How I can:
1. Change the background (/etc/bootsplash/themes - is this here?).
2. Change the logo on my picture
I originally have Ubuntu Lucid on my machine. I just installed opensuse 11.2 on another partition without bootloader installed. So I'm still using the Ubuntu Lucid default bootloader grub2. I can boot up opensuse correctly. the nagging thing is that there's no splash screen show up during the boot process, instead, lines of command are flashing, the console background is also missing and the font under console (tty1-6) is huge. what can I do to have these back to opensuse? the current entry in grub2 for opensuse
Code:
menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (on /dev/sda2)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9ac05ede-e7c4-47f3-b55b-66d5844$
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop root=/dev/sda2
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
}
which parameters should I add?
Recently I did a kernel update (compiling it manually with help of SuSE Automatic Kernel Compiler). Everything works fine and I am happy with my own settings, however there is one thing that I would to enable. On the stock kernel there is a openSUSE bootsplash on startup and a nice looking openSUSE background image in console mode. On my newly compiled kernel there is no such a eyecandies. My question is: How to enable them on my own compiled 2.6.38 kernel?
P.S In the attachment you can see what i mean with that background image in console mode, so you get my point. This is the image found on the internet, my system is openSUSE 11.4 (64 bit)
I would like to achieve to get this logo at start, exactly like this: [URL] It is normally something, but maybe there is a package for that ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm setting the root window background to a gradient with the following command:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 fbsetroot -gradient Elliptic -from blue -to black
What I would like to do next is to display a small logo in the center of the background without resetting the root window background color. Right now I tried the following two commands and they both reset the root window to a solid color... I would like to keep the gradient color.
Code:
vmsetbg -e logo.png # resets the root window
fbsetbg -c logo.png # also does the same thing
I cannot use just a single image because the same image has to look good on all screen sizes from netbooks to 52" TVs
My HP Pavilion laptop will not boot. I just got up this morning, turn on the computer, and the only thing I get is the boot screen, the Ubuntu logo on the purple background, and that is it. I installed 11.04 Natty a few weeks ago, when it was released. I don't know what other info to give you. The computer acts normally and just can't seem to get past the boot.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running openSUSE 11.2 kde on msi wind u123. Everything runs fine except that whenever i try to shutdown or restart system i see both splash background and the rolling text. I think i should only see the splash with the progress bar until shutting down finishes. But for no apparent reasons i see both which is very annoying.
It might help that i changed the splash screen to a custom one. Here is the one i use and i followed every single instruction.
I do need to change or edit this white Ubuntu logo on the black background that comes right after GRUB and before my xsplash is played. How do I do that? Where is that picture saved in the system?
I have edited my xsplash the way I want it by changing the pictures in /usr/share/image/xsplash but cant find a way to edit this other bootup screen.
I was able to login openSuSe/KDE. Now, every time I enter my username and password the system hangs half-way through the Boot Logo.

And I want to disappear the booting logo splash. Beacuse I want to see kernel messages at the linux booting.
I have seen this done and I have done it my self years ago but I cannot remember how to do it. I think I used a program called bootsplash, but when I try to install it in debian it installs splashy. Now I can get the boot up and shutdown boot splash but I cannot figure out how to get a background in the console. Im using debian 5 lenny if that helps anyone. I have searched but all i can find is info on the boot up and shut down images.

I am looking to change the "openSUSE 11.1" logo on top of the Preparation menu during the installation process as seen here: http://en.opensuse.org/images/thumb/...-install21.png.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor those who need or want to install the latest ATI proprietary driver (Catalyst 11.2) right after a fresh 11.4 install - and might not look for solutions in the development subforum.In order to compile the module, I installed the kernel sources and the pattern devel_basis. I normally use most packages in this pattern, so I install it by default from other scripts. While running atiupgrade on a fresh install, I was surprised by the number of packages getting installed with that pattern.Please report if it doesn't work. (like aticonfig initial failed to add a fglrx section for some reason).Take a look at the atiupgrade thread in the development forum: Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade.

Running 11.3 x64 opensuseSUSE
I turned on my laptop at work this morning and it booted up into console mode! Rebooting and booting into Failsafe Mode do nothing...
It reports that it has reached Runlevel 5, but I can't get into the GUI. I have tried to run "startx" which works (Sort of) but I have no mouse or keyboard control. Same goes for if I run "sax2 -r -m 0=radeon" and I have to hard power off the machine to get out of there.

I have renamed the xorg.conf file and rebooted, but come to the same place...
Nothing reports to have failed on bootup, so I have no clue where to start trouble shooting. It does tell me though that there were "Skipped features: boot.cycle". Is this the problem area?
Is there a way to make the background to an editor e.g. gedit transparent without affecting text's transparency? Is there any other program that supports this?

I am trying to configure the monitor/video card as I am having problems with the nvidia geforce 4 integrated video card. Some instructions I have sat to press ctrl alt and f1 to go to the text console. I do but it asks for a login and does not accept my user name and password.
What have I done wrong?
This is just a nit, but I have noticed that whenever the kernel is updated, the background picture that I have set up for the login screen seems to be reset to "default_blue". No other setting seems to be disturbed.
After each update, I have to go into Configure Desktop->Login manager and set my background picture again. Why is this happening? Is there a way to fix this?
