Hi,
I changed the openoffice splash screen by replacing the openintro_sun_ubuntu.bmp file in the /usr/lib/openoffice/program/ directory as root, but when I restarted my system, the original splash screen came up. Can anyone help me resolve this?

I would try it again, something went wrong..
Replacing the *.bmp splash screen as long as it is the same size or smaller would be fine
--the question is: how did you replace that file; use the same name as the original file, the application expects that name
Probably the safest method is to cp (copy) and delete the original
mv (move) is the command line that does that mv oldname to newname
--the insert (copy) your screen image to the location you list
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/openintro_ubuntu_sun.bmp

Re: Unable to change Open Office splash screen..
This is one of the things Mint changes in order to be more robust to updates, so in this case DrHu's advice won't work. You need to edit the /etc/linuxmint/mintSystem.conf file as root, and change True to False in the line with splash-screens in it to disable the auto restore. Here's a command that will do it for you:
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i '/splash-screens/s/True/False/' /etc/linuxmint/mintSystem.conf

The safest method is to copy and delete the original move is the command line that does that my old name to new name the insert your screen image to the location you list.
