Changing grub splash image in ubuntu 11.10
by sahab on Oct.23, 2011, under Ubuntu, Ubuntu 11.10
Today I have changed the grub splash image of ubuntu 11.10. The steps are given below.
Open the terminal
Type the following cmmand
$wget http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/5632/nebulae.jpg
$mv $HOME/nebulae.jpg $HOME/nebula.jpg
$sudo mv $HOME/nebula.jpg /usr/share/images/grub/nebula.jpg
enter your root password to place the nebula in your grubs boot images….
now were going to remove the old desktop base script and replace it with a more stellar one….
do this block of code to remove.
sudo rm /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh
sudo su
write new script 4 background on boot cat > /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh << EOF WALLPAPER=/usr/share/images/grub/nebula.jpg COLOR_NORMAL=light-green/black COLOR_HIGHLIGHT=green/light-gray EOF update-grub exit and press return to exit god mode, reboot to test.... it is a 1280x1024 image, and might require editing a file i already edited to change the menu size to fit the image.but for the most part this was a nagging hidden system when trying to edit /etc/grub.d/05_debian* only to have a strange variable over ride what you set. and this is what you get when bob punishes your boot loader settings
