    Exclamation Problem with ubuntu loading

    When I start my laptop: Dell Vostro 1720, it starts loading grub, I select Ubuntu, and after that, appears one image of ubuntu logo
    and few points, like loading...
    I show it :

    Since I updated to ubuntu 10.04, I had this problem

    1- How to change it ?

    I tried a lot of things while googling... but didn't solve it yet.

    2- When I install StartupManager, it appears only with two options: Startup Options and Advanced. And there I can't change the ubuntu loading image.
    If we check google images, we can see more than this... I suppose this is caused by ubuntu startupManager download link....

    3-I tried copy by different ways the splash.png. With gnome-conf, setting the key in apps...splash.png. Didn't work. Also I tried
    to replace "/usr/share/images/xsplash/bg_2560x1600.jpg" to another pic I have, but no result.

    Re: Problem with ubuntu loading

    Try to boot into single user mode, and type in as root:
    Code:
    startx
    If that does not work I can help you find the error by going through the verbose mode. If it's the logo I can disable it for you.

    Why I need to do that?
    Actually I can boot. That not is my problem. The problem is only the splash screen. Not the login splash screen, but the boot .

    Do you mean the screen resolution? The writing is too big?

    Go to Synaptic package manager and type in plymouth
    select which plymouth themes you want to install and install them: Then run this below:
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
    Now pick your choice by # and run
    Code:
    sudo update-initramfs -u
    Now you have new Ubuntu plymouth theme installed

    Before I see your answer, I did that but on other way. I installed with apt-get the plymouth GUI. Then I've chosen one of them, and activated plymouth. Then I restarted and just after grub, I can only see the blinking "_" and 6sec after ubuntu desktop. No more. So now, I arrived to the point where I have no image on boot.
    But I want to install one.
