UpSplash image [SOLVED]

Post by BigSteve_G »

Is there any easy (I'm new to Mint) way to change the usplash (or upsplash (whatever its called)) screen? - the Mint one was ok with the Mint logo on a black background I just editted grub config' file to remove the quiet part from the boot process. I then installed KDE which took it upon its self to replace the Mint boot & shutdown screens with Kubuntu ones which I dont mind as such but would much prefer my own image displayed.

Easiest (and gui) way is to install startupmanager via synaptic package manager though it's not fully compatible with grub2 yet.

Thanks I will give it a go, but since writing my original post I've kinda changed my mind as to how I'm wanting to do it - I dont mind doing a little walking in terminal, is it as easy as replacing a file? - the reason I've decided to try this way is so that once I know how to if poss' I can write a script to carry it out on other machines for me.

Just a quick update for anyone else looking for help with this, I had got it wrong it is actually from (Mint 8) xsplash.

And details on changing it can be found at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/7939/how ... untu-9.10/
