how do you change the "ubuntu" splash screen?

I'd like to know how to change the initial splash screen showing Ubuntu's progress as it boots up. I'm running Feisty.

 

What are you trying to change it to?

 

I can't really find any boot screens out there, but I'm looking for something dark that doesn't use the Ubuntu title or logo; preferably something simple and generic, perhaps even a verbose mode boot screen with a progress bar. I've already looked at gnome-look.org with no luck.

 

I've got a really nice one... I'll boot into linux and give it to you/ tell you how. really simple really.



*EDIT: ahh oops! my mistake, i was thinking welcome screen


insane

 

You can always `apt-get remove usplash` to remove any kind of bootsplash. Otherwise, look for usplash themes on Google. I've never wanted to change since I reboot so little.

 

there a a numer of guide to do this online. I tried one but it didnt work


maybe you need to use a .png image and I used a .jpg

basically the new splash needs to be put into /usr/share/pixmap and you need to change gnome-sessions splash screen key to the new file


insane

 

I'll look into it. Thanks all.
