Usplash Theme installation.
there are a few ways to do this:
This is how I did it
Code:
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-artwork-usplash
Now download the xbmc-theme from here or you can use the themes from dudkes blog as well.
xbmc them is here :
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloadi...p&31322968
dudkes blog is here:
http://du-duke.blogspot.com/
Now once you have dwnlded the above to your pc extract it and copy the folder over to your xbmc machine.
Now we will compile it and make the .so file
do this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libbogl-dev libusplash-dev make gcc
Then change into your theme directory:
Code:
cd /dir you saved the file in/usplash-xbmc-theme
make
This will make an file called XBMC-theme.so
Then copy and rename the XBMC-theme.so file to /usr/lib/usplash.
Code:
sudo cp XBMC-theme.so /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-xubuntu.so
sudo update-initramfs -u
Now you can reboot and check out your new splash.
This is for the XBMC-theme-so method, if you want to use one of dudukes splashes then the steps are the same to make the .so file you, dudukes splashes create a different named .so file. so when you copy it over to replace the file in /usr/lib you need to make sure the name is the same as listed in the directory for the splash file you downloaded.
IE spinner-blue file = xbmc-splash.so
usplash-xbmc-theme = XBMC-theme.so
Once this is done, if you are using dudukes splashes then you need to force the res.
sudo vim /etc/usplash.conf
press i to insert text then type
xres=xxxx
yres=xxxx
match the xxxx with the supported res for the splash you are running these are listed on the blog link above.
now hit esc to get out of edit mode then :wq to save the file
now update intramfs to make the changes
Code:
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo reboot to enjoy your new splash.
