/ [kubuntu] Kubuntu changes boot-up splash

[PCessna]

Hey all,

Now I do dislike KDE, but it doesn't mean I don't like going on it every now and then, so today I install the Desktop manager. It's awesome how my files and stuff blend in well like I used Kubuntu. ANYWAYS.

When I rebooted, I first saw the KDE splash while it shuts down you know it goes backwards of how much its done halting, and when I booted, I saw it again, I was like crap crap KDE WAS set at default.. and the login manger was xubuntu because I tried that, I went to synaptic, finished uninstalled xubuntu, changed login screen, my LAST PROBLEM IS, I want it back to Ubuntu, because Kubuntu gives me the chills, anyone know how to change the bootup spalsh from Kubuntu to Ubuntu again,

Thanks all

You could try

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

Guide is available here

You can also try:

sudo aptitude install usplash-theme-ubuntu

This will install the ubuntu boot screen and then:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash

I hope this helps

Bigger problem, no longer displays a splash, just the booting up text and shutting down. Holy crap.

Anyone know to DISPLAY a splash.

sudo apt-get install startupmanager

Then start it by System->Administration->Startup-Manager, click on Appearance tab and change the usplash theme.

Hi,

Go and get Startup manager from the repos. Then Sytem > Admin > Startup Manager in Gnome (dont know how to do this in KDE).Then appearance tab in SUM (StartUpManager) and change your usplash theme.The default one is usplash-theme-ubuntu (clck on manage to add it, then go to wherever it is).

I have also attached the usplash theme for you. Unzip it and do the following

sudo cp <the unzipped *.so> /usr/lib/usplash/

Then in appearance, Usplash Theme, Manage Usplash theme go to the path /usr/lib/usplash/ and select usplash-theme-ubuntu.so

Cheers,

Hi,

Once you download the file, decompress it (sorry about this but, right click and extract here) THEN do

sudo cp <the unzipped *.so> /usr/lib/usplash/

For example, you download to your desktop, then right click and select extract here. After that in a terminal

sudo cp /home/<your username>/Desktop/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so /usr/lib/usplash/

Then go to StartUpManager (System > Admin > StartUp Manager) then go to the appearance tab, and then go to Manage usplash themes. Then browse your way to /usr/lib/usplash/ and select usplash-theme-ubuntu.so and apply the change.

Sorry if this seems to be oversimplified and overexplained or if you feel i have insulted your intelligence, but i thought my previous post was clear as mud.

Cheers,


Lordadi.
