This article does not teach you to create a boot screen or hide the startup text, but to beautify the startup text.
1. Improve resolution
Compile the file/boot/GRUB/menu. lst in this path
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
AddVGA = 1, 792To your default startup parameters ..
For example:
titleUbuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-k7 Default root(hd0,0)kernel/vmlinuz root=/dev/hde6 ro quiet splash vga=792initrd/initrd.imgsavedefaultboot
2. Change the color of "[OK ]"
Note: This method is invalid for 5.10 breezy. For the solution, click here: there.(Ed. 28/12/2005)
Let's make "[OK]" Green at startup
- Edit/lib/LSB/init-Functions
sudo gedit /lib/lsb/init-functions
The modified function looks like the following:
log_end_msg () {# If no arguments were passed, return[ -z "$1" ] && return 1# Only do the fancy stuff if we have an appropriate terminal# and if /usr is already mountedTPUT=/usr/bin/tputEXPR=/usr/bin/exprif [ -x $TPUT ] && [ -x $EXPR ] && $TPUT hpa 60 >/dev/null 2>&1; thenCOLS=`$TPUT cols`if [ -n "$COLS" ]; thenCOL=`$EXPR $COLS - 7`elseCOL=73fiUP=`$TPUT cuu1`END=`$TPUT hpa $COL`START=`$TPUT hpa 0`RED=`$TPUT setaf 1`GREEN=`$TPUT setaf 2`NORMAL=`$TPUT op`if [ $1 -eq 0 ]; thenecho "$UP$END[ ${GREEN}ok${NORMAL} ]"elseecho -e "$UP$START $RED*$NORMAL$END[${RED}fail${NORMAL}]"fielseif [ $1 -eq 0 ]; thenecho " ...done."elseecho " ...fail!"fifireturn $1}
3. Last
Restart, your beautification solution is complete, and the [OK] information becomes green!
