Help Boot
How do I change the colour of the background of grub so when my PC boots it's not that default light green colour?
I don't like that light green colour during boot process how do you make it darker or different colour? Please Help |
open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst in your favorite text editor. add a line like this one:
Code:
color black/yellow yellow/black black blue green cyan red magenta brown light-gray dark-gray light-blue light-green light-cyan light-red light-magenta yellow white greetinz, .-=~ iluvatar ~=-. |
When I try to access that file is said unable. This is because the file is locked from being changed, how do I know? The picture of the file has a lock on it. How to do I unlock it? I tried go to install remove packages can't find file to unlock it.

I tried yast for grub and change colour and it still boots as it normally would no change incolour even though the colour settings I've done are different now.
What should I do? |
you have to be root to edit that file... I don't know much about grub, so if this doesn't work I can't help you any further...

I was root that's the whole point I'll try force changes with grub in grub settings with YaST.

If you are using suse then i think the color setting doesn't change anything because it uses a theme instead of the standard colors. you should look in menu.lst or maybe grub.conf for mention of a theme. i don't know exactly what it's called, don't have my linux box readily available as i am at work. will check into it when i get home and get suse to work (installed mandrake last night and screwed up grub)
if your not using suse then i don't have a clue edit:...silly me of course you're using suse if you have yast |
Ah ha found it, as default bootsplash comes with SuSe :). http://www.bootsplash.org
|
i don't know if those bootsplash thingies include grub splashimages, if they don't you might wanna look here: http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/
just download an image or create one yourself and edit grub.conf |
