[opensuse] Playing with Grub and Plymouth splash
Hello openSuSErs! I have started to play with boot-splash (Grub2 and Plymouth) in order to change default boot-splash of openSuSE 12.3. I am still a bit confused about the requirements and settings and the way to update the boot loader. For example I have installed Plymouth theme Solar and I ran the "set-default-theme" and the "rebuild-initrd" script, now I see that during boot splash (after Grub2 splash) there is just a green progression bar in the bottom without any images on desktop, while at shutdown, I see a Sun with solar explosions animations in the low right corner of the screen and a centralized image (I don't remember the name reported now). Is this expected? What about DRM requirements? Is that a possible reason of the fact I don't see any images during boot and see only at shutdown? About Grub2 I have installed a boot spash from Cristian Rodriguez "SuSE Eleganter Bootsplash" (despite I ignore if it was compatible with 12.3). But at boot I keep seeing same Grub2 default openSUSE loader. About Grub2 conf ,I am in doubt about kernel parameters I have to add and/ or remove: my default kernel parameters line was "splah=silent" which I replaced with "quiet splash" as reported onto another Grub2 guide. Is there some good URL treating about Plymouth and Grub2 boot splash settings for openSUSE? Many Thanks!

To change GRUB2 theme you need to select it in YaST bootloader module. Did you do it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Andrey, The settings in YaST are pointing to deafault grub2/opensuse/theme/txt I don't know if I can select the new path related to SuSE Eleganter and if it is compatible. But of course your observation is right in answer to the fact that Grub2 boot-splash has not changed :-/ Thanks!
