Intrepid : FIX Usplash / Get Usplash working

[binbash]

At the moment if you change your usplash theme, it just does not change.To fix this :

-sudo apt-get install libusplash-dev

Then go to your theme folder (i am using this : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...?content=84632 and the filenames used below is for this one )

-make
-sudo cp usplash-theme-wideubuntu.so /usr/lib/usplash
-sudo rm /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so
-sudo ln -s /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-wideubuntu.so /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so
-sudo update-initramfs -u
-sudo update-grub

Ps 1 :

If you used ubuntugeek's solution (remove usplash and install splashy ), completely (yes open synaptics and remove config files also) remove splashy and install usplash

PS 2 :

If above method does not work, re-install usplash (completely remove & install )

Thank you for your howto

I have an eeePC 901 with intrepid, with eeepc-lean kernel from arrays.org.
Im very happy with it. But my usplash is not nice, because I have a wide-screen with 1024x600 resolution.

I tryed your how to, but I have a blank screen during boot with it.
I changed back to usplash in startup manager, and now I have the initial uslash on boot.

Is it possible to make directly a version for 1024x600?
Or have you any idea?

Tx in advance.

Ps. Sorry for my English...

How can you get one working if you only have the precompiled .so and not the theme source?

I've tried variations of modifying my menu.lst vga= line, the lines in /etc/usplash.conf and still all other usplash screens just hang on bootup.
