Animated Penguin GRUB splash Screen
Procedure
- Create a temporary new directory in your home folder. (You can create it anywhere, but for simplicity, I will say the path as the home folder and the directory name as new).
- Now copy the file message from the /boot folder in this directory using the command, ‘cp /boot/message new’.
- Now change into the new directory, ‘cd new’.
- Extract the files from the archieve message using the command, ‘cpio -i < message’.
- Now minimize the terminal and open the directory new that you created. Edit the file ‘gfxboot.cfg’ using your favorite text editor.
- The file will contain a line ‘penguin=-1′ (for openSUSE 10.2) or ‘penguin=0′ (for openSUSE 10.3). Change it to ‘penguin=100′. Save the file.
- This number, 100, 0 or -1 is the probability of the penguin screen being shown. -1 is random. 0 means that penguin will never be shown and 100 means that it will be shown all the time you boot your computer.
- Coming back to the poceedings, delete the message file in the directory new by typing ‘rm message’ in the terminal.
- Now enter command ‘ls . | cpio -o > message’ to recompress the archieve.
- Now the last step, enter the command ’sudo cp message /boot’, enter your root password if required and you are done. Next time you boot up, you will be greeted by the penguins depending on the probability set by you.
- And you are done. Enjoy.
