Changing the Ubuntu boot splash screen

I am sure most of us doesn't like the color purple . But unfortunately the Ubuntu boot time splash screen is a purple one . One to get rid of that just follow the step mentioned below:

Ubuntu uses the Plymouth theme for the boot up splash screen. In order to get a new look you need to install some new themes.

1. Go to synaptic package manager.

2. Search by typing plymouth and you will find some new themes . Install some of those.

3. Now open the terminal and paste the following:

Code:



sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth



4. Choose your theme and then restart the PC.

5. Have fun

nicely explained Rep++

Output for the command is-

Code:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
[sudo] password for muctadir:
There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
Nothing to configure.


i think this can easily be done using ubuntu tweak. Download it from here. install it double clicking it and go to the page shown in here.

Actually, it will show that when you do not follow the steps properly. I faced the same thing when I tried it without installing any additional plymouths



But thanks for the ubuntu tweak link Muctadir

This post is not for changing the login screen. It is for changing the initial boot time splash screen (the purple one having Ubuntu written on it).

তোরা কি জানিস এই প্লাইমাওথ এর জন্য আমার উবুন্টু শাটডাওন হয়না? আবার এই প্লাই লইয়াই পুস্ট লাগাইছস? আমি এমনকি চেষ্টা করছিলাম এইটারে রিমুভ করতে। এই দুঃখ কই রাখি?

আমার ত এখন উবুন্টুতে দেখায় xubuntu plymouth তাও তো কোন সমস্যা হয় না!!

I have another solution . Its so easy. Just install the plymouth kubuntu theme. Then open the nautilus window(gksudo nautilus). Move to /lib/plymouth/themes/kubuntu(i forget the exact name but it has kubuntu in it) .

here you will see two images named some thing like kubuntu logo

open the images with gimp(or any image editor) and remove k from that image. You are all done.

Now by the above mentioned method choose that theme from the terminal.

i am thinking to switch to kubuntu....
