You can use this program: http://appnr.com/package/startupmanager to change the spash screen – but I’m not sure if a PNG would work.

Note that passing the vga= kernel argument (which is required for splashy) will cause a large number of machines to fail to suspend and resume..

@omg:

You got one part right, omg, this is not something what you’d expect your average user to do. However, this isn’t Ubuntu, or Linux specific. You’ll often find that gamers have to change variables in .ini files to optimise their gaming experience (or make them run in the first place). This is the geeky way of doing things. if you want an easier way out, go to gnome-look.org and just download a .deb file (the Ubuntu version of your classy installer).

You are welcome. It is my pleasure to offer any help to the community.

I did not attempt to confuse anyone as I said in my article that I am going to remove the default usplash and install splashy. You are true that startup manager allows you to change the usplash easily, but there are some issues in Ubuntu Intrepid that prevent you from doing it easily (it even crashes my PC several time). The last thing that I want to do is to provide a guide that doesn’t work or cause even more problems.

You should be clear that this is not a default program in Ubuntu and you are advocating a replacement for the Ubuntu default, which is uSplash.

uSplash can be configured using Startup Manager:

System -> Administration -> Startup Manager

(those who don’t have Startup Manager installed by default can easily do so: sudo apt-get install startupmanager)

That is why you are confusing the newbie community by recommending a replacement, attractive as it is to you.

@Damien Oh:
Thank you. I was fairly surprised at how large (7.5MB) that thing is, but I have installed it and will give it a go. Incidentally, I see your replies to many of the questions asked on the forum and have respect for your knowledge and the time you expend offering a helping hand to others. Kudos and Thanks, again.

@mandatory:
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m thinking the OMG handle was a strong clue.
While I don’t necessarilly get into the flaming that frequently takes place on the forums, neither can I appreciate and idiotic response like the one you so effectively addressed. The question, in my opinion, is, how does it happen that stupidity such as OMG manages to slip by moderation? I don’t seem to have that kind of luck and was recently censured by Newegg for saying that something was “a pain in the butt”. Go figure…
At any rate, thanks for some fine outfielding.

@Matthew Garrett:
Good information to have- thank you for passing it along. Interestingly enough, and in my instance it wouldn’t be an issue because ever since “upgrading” from Feisty to Hardy, my suspend ability has been gone. Now it’s a matter of the machine is either on or it’s off, period. I’m forever entertained, fascinated and ticked off at the way things that once worked suddenly discontinue working with an “upgrade”. It must be why I’m so addicted to Linux and Firefox in the first place, no?

@donnaa:
Gee, for some darn reason that comment sounds terribly familiar. Was there a point you wanted to make? If there was, I’m afraid I didn’t get it…

@Vadim P.:
Though uninvited, I also followed the link you provided. Forgive me for being dense, but if the link is at all relative to my question or to Damien’s reply, I have somehow missed its relevance. Still, I enjoyed the journey and will probably make it again.

@omg– omg you’re useless. and (in a non-homophobic way) you’re teh ghey. jesus, way to waste everyone’s time with an unhelpful comment. dude posts a how-to walking people through the steps to make x happen and you whine about how the process is different from windows and THEREFORE it must suck? ridiculous. stick to myspace chat or whatever you middle-schoolers use nowadays, cause grown folks are talking, and we’re doing just fine without you…

KISSES,
-grownfolks

p.s.- do you have spybot installed? adaware? norton antivirus or AVG? ever defrag your disc? guess what, _I_ don’t, cause none of those issues affect linux users….

omg this is why ubuntu sucks, on windows there are so many apps which does the whole dam thing for you.

eg TuneUp Utilities 2009, download the boot screen you want from their website or another, double click and youre done.

omg this is my ubuntu disc is collecting dust.

You can try StartUp Manager. There is a function that allows you to change grub screen easily.

sudo apt-get install startupmanager

While this isn’t exactly the method I used, I managed to fumble my way through a process and get a decent image placed.

A while back I read an article (on MUO) about installing a new background image for a GRUB splash. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out as outlined.

I would like to put something up besides basic black, so if you have anything that would help get it done, it would be greatly appreciated.
