I would like to modify the splash screen that you see when booting up Xubuntu 10.10. I want something light. What dimesions should I have it at like 800X600 1280X768 and etc. I will be using this on many different resolutions. Also where does the splash reside on this build?

I'd like to change the boot splash screen from the current 'Xubuntu' text in white on a black background.Making changes in Settings->Xfce 4 Setting Manager->Session and Startup has had no effect, and Startup Manager does not display an option to change the splash. I feel I'm missing something obvious here, but where should I be looking?

Picture of splash screen is attached to this post.I've done the following two searches of the file system but no luck:
# find / -iname "*xfce*.png"
# find / -iname "*xubun*.png"
I received the Ubuntu CD by mail the other day and tried to install a dual boot with it. I first tried it out by running from the CD and the first problem I had was the screen froze after the splash screen. So I lurked around for a bit and found out that I can press any key on the screen with the keyboard and person to get to a different screen. At this screen I entered "F6" and then entered "nomodeset", this allowed me to pass the splash screen.
Next, I got into Unbuntu but I found out that the keyboard and mouse weren't working, so I lurked again and found out that I have to enter "noacpi" (sorry if I got that wrong, I forgot the name ). I ran by CD once more and everything worked, so I decided to finally install it next to my Vista. However, after installing it goes straight to the splash screen, and the freezing happens again. The screen where the keyboard and the person are not showing up so I have no idea how add the "nomodeset" and "noacpi". So my question is, how do I get to the screen where I can add both those things? Also, is there a way to add it permanently so I don't have to keep pressing F6?
New install on Compaq Presario F700 (F756NR)The install went fine. I was able to get the Nvidia drivers working too. The problem I have is when the system boots. I get the OpenSuse splash screen, and the system just hangs.I found that if I press <Esc> and hit <Enter> a few times, the system will eventually boot. I also found if I wiggle the mouse during the splash screen, the progress bar will begin to move, and the system will boot.Seems to be something about detecting hardware during the boot phase, and it seems to be input related.

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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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?
I recently installed Ubuntu Studio and after an update the standard Plymouth splash screen began to show. I tried changing it back via the "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" method but I am getting a blue kbuntu splash screen instead of the ubuntu studio splash.

Ubuntu doesn't load. While booting, it displays an error message saying some of the lists in ipblock couldn't be loaded, followed by a red-coloured "[fail]". Then, the screen goes black and shows nothing more. So, how do I stop ipblock from starting at startup (from the command line)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI think it should be that the splash comes out immediately after one click ubuntu to boot in grub. just like that in windows....
But always it's black with a cursor twinkling before the splash comes out.And in fact it holds most of the boot time in the black screen.When splash comes out it just exists less than one second and immediately goes to the login window.
Though ubuntu lucid is very very wonderful now , i want it to be better .

I can boot xubuntu fine in kernel 2.6.32.25, but nothing newer. When I try to boot in a later kernel, I get a bunch of scrolling text, followed by a text based login prompt that doesn't work.I've been running xubuntu on this computer since version 8.04. I've had this problem since I upgraded to version 10.04. I figured an update would fix it, so I just made do. I figured for sure when the next upgrade came out it would be fixed, but I upgraded to 11.04 and still have the same problem. I figured somebody else would have had this problem by now and posted a solution, but I haven't found one, either on this forum or even on a google search.
It's an old compaq with 236 megs of memory.I just noticed that, while ubuntu used to require at least 256 megs of memory, and xubuntu was for older computers with as few as 192, I believe, xubuntu now requires 256. Is that my problem? Should I be looking at a different distro now?
I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. When booting, there is this "Ubuntu" writing on purple background and dots which are lighting up in order. On my machine this is in text mode. In 10.04 it was graphical. What can I do to have it again graphical?

PHP Code:
Could not look up internet address for localhost.localdomain.This will prevent Xfc from operating correctly.It may be possible to correct this problem by adding localhost.localdomain to the file /etc/hosts on your system
Why did this error present itself if nothing was changed? All that was done was that is was tested at work and at home.
Out of nowhere Ubuntu (intrepid, I believe) has stopped loading for me. When it attempts to load gdm the screen starts flashing at the splash screen and then eventually dumps me to the terminal. From there I can login without any problems but can not get the GUI to load.
When I run sudo gdm-binary it does the flashing splash screen again and then spits out the error message: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found. Then a few warnings about longest graphic displayed 2.5xxx seconds
I tried running sudo dpkg-recondifigure gdm and relaunch gdm as above and it did the same thing.
I was not able to successfully connect to my wireless network through the terminal to try to update in the hopes of that fixing the problem. Perhaps someone can give me instructions on how? (I have tried but can not figure out how to initialize wlan0).
Or, is there something I can do from my installation CD?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix on my girlfriend's computer, and everything went fine except the computer *thinks* it's got an 11'' monitor when it's actually something like 10.2". As a result, since Ubuntu windows now relies heavily on the screen size parameters, everything goes "out of the monitor": browser window, background image, etc In System -> Display, I see it's set as an 11'' monitor...do you know how I can modify this value to be 10'' ? There used to be an Xorg.conf that one could edit to permanently modify these values but now it's nowhere to be found
View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu onto my computer, I downloaded all of the major appearance applications like Tweak. Using Tweak, I modified the login screen to have a custom wallpaper and no sound to play when I login, and it worked perfectly. When I re-installed Ubuntu after that first time (I re-installed it because I totally screwed with the GUI) and every time after that, I go to use Tweak and it still allows me the option to modie login screen.However, after I make the modifications and restart the GUI, the login screen background is just a blank purple wallpaper and the login sound still plays when I login (both are things I didn't select). I open up Tweak and the modifications I made are still there, but they don't apply. What's up?

I installed 10.04 on my Toshiba laptop, but for some reason there is no violet splash screen with the "Ubuntu" word when the system is loading. Instead there is a bald dash in the upper left corner that keeps blinking and then it is changed by regular font dash, then there are some letters (like system is checking something?) and that's it, one second after my desktop welcomes me. What could be the problem? I feel like I haven't had such a problem when I was installing it on another computer. Though it might be because I am installing from USB drive, but not, installed from CD with the image recorded and still the same problem.
