Description: Kubuntu GRUB splash theme, pure design (in fact Kubuntu crystal logo made bigger).
Installation (tested on Kubuntu Breezy 5.10)(code or shell marked $ at the beginning of the line): 1) Move the file to /boot/grub/images. 2) Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst: Near text like: $ # Pretty colours $ # color cyan/blue white/blue place this line: $ splashimage (hdx,y)/boot/grub/images/kubuntucrystal.xpm.gz Get x,y from line like: $ # groot=(hd0,4) (notice: If you have extra /boot partition, the previous line should be without '/boot') 3) Run $ sudo update-grub and voila (at next boot of course;-))!
well I've done like it's written in menu.lst but I still get an error when I do this ''sudo update-grub'' and it says this: ''Searching for splash image... none found, skipping...''
I've written this to menu.lst this:
splashimage ''(hd0,1)/boot/grub/images/kubuntucrystal.xpm.gz''
Any idea what to do?
You didn't mention if the theme works after reboot. In fact, update-grub is showing me the same message, but it works (well, if I weren't too lazy, I would find out where update-grup supposes the splash to be and rewrite the help the Ubuntu way).
