How to create a bootsplash ? I want to change the default Kubuntu 1 and I find 1 too but it is in .tar.gz its not in .so format . So I thought I must try creating my own Bootsplash ?So any help from Tux experts here :p A simple guide would be a lot better :) jahan dekho SUSE ke alawa kuch milta hi nahi ::||

Hoping for quick reply :D

i think you downloaded the usplash source package.try the following steps after extracting files from archive.

1. sudo apt-get usplash-dev
- Installs usplash-dev package

2. make
- Compiles splashtheme

then you will get a *.so file.install the theme with startup-manager.

@shashwat:did u meant custom usplash?
*help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto

startupmanager is a must :-|
u maybe interested in below page:
*forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=60#p126

a easy way is to install splashy instead of usplash :p.
*splashy.alioth.debian.org/
*ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216597

u can change grub theme by adding splashimage= option.(or use startupmanager-apt-get install it!)
