Mint 11 - Is There a Plymouth Splash Image?

Post by DasFox »

After grub boots, all I see for 10 seconds is a black screen, isn't there suppose to be a Plymouth Splash image for Katya?

If so, how come it isn't appearing and what can I do?

THANKS

The image is intentionally blanked. The reasoning was that it gives a uniform appearance across the board regardless of which video card and/or driver you are using. Once installed, you should be able to theme it any way you like.

Ok in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme this line?

if [ -e /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub ]; then
sed "s/^/${1}/" /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub
fi


in /lib/plymouth/themes/default.grub

Just replace the default.grub with another image and rename?


THANKS

P.S. My bad after replying;

Sheehs all the symlinks, like someone can't make up their mind, LOL...

Ok change this ---> /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.grub

Or I guess you have to do like this as example;

To install it:

1*Extract the content of this file in /lib/plymouth/themes

2*Execute:

$ sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/spinfinity-mint-01/spinfinity-mint-01.plymouth 100

$ sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/spinfinity-mint-02/spinfinity-mint-02.plymouth 100

$ sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/mint-logo/mint-logo.plymouth 100

$ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth **(and choose the number for spinfinity-mint-01, spinfinity-mint-02 or mint-logo )**

$ sudo update-initramfs -u

3*Restart your system.
