On 16.04LTS, we can not use the old ways with plymouth manager softwares.
We now need to change the logo by hands.
OS preparation
Install the gimp
sudo apt-get install gimp
Install plymouth-themes
sudo apt-get install plymouth-themes
Change the logo
your tutorial is below. It’s a huge amount of time and work to write thoses tutos, please show me your support, and register to my mailing (nospam !).
Backup copie of the logo :
sudo cp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.png /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo-ori.png
Pimp the “ubuntu-logo” using gimp FOR USE WITH PLYMOUTH AND GRUB
sudo gimp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.png
you must give a 800×600 resolution for plymouth
save
You can prepare here the same picture for grub, resolution 1920×1080 (the max res your graphic card can handle), and save it under :
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo-grub.png
Change grub
install grub customizer
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
save grub original files
sudo cp -Rp /etc/grub.d /etc/grub.d.ori
launch the customizer
gksudo grub-customizer
Personnally, I changed that :
- 2nd window : start default after 2s
- 3rd window : resolution : 1920x1080px and spash screen is /usr/share/plymouth/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo-grub.png
save and reboot
My logos
if you don’t want to edit the logo by yourself, here is my pictures
tadaaa !
