Beautifying the GRUB startup interface in Ubuntu

With the release of Ubuntu7.10, the ubuntu system is becoming more and more popular, and its ease of use and practicality are also greatly improved. However, when it comes to beautiful appearance, there is still a certain distance between ubuntu and the well-known SUSE system with luxurious and beautiful interfaces. If you don't talk about anything else, the ubuntu screen will be far behind the grub startup screen, but we can dress him up and write more beautifully.

With the release of Ubuntu7.10, the ubuntu system is becoming more and more popular, and its ease of use and practicality are also greatly improved. However, when it comes to beautiful appearance, there is still a certain distance between ubuntu and the well-known SUSE system with luxurious and beautiful interfaces. If you don't talk about anything else, the ubuntu screen will be far behind the grub startup screen, but we can dress him up and write more beautifully. Next we will beautify the grub startup interface of ubuntu and compare it with SUSE.

A graphical Grub StartUp management tool "StartUp Manager", with which you can configure the Grub StartUp menu without having to modify menu. lst by yourself. However, all the functions that can be implemented are modified by menu. lst. That is to say, you can modify menu. lst by yourself. (Again, I would like to remind you that using this software is the same as modifying menu. lst, which may lead to risks. I feel more comfortable modifying menu. lst by myself .)

Its main functions include:

1. Set whether to display the bootloader (grub Startup menu) and display time;

2. Customize the bootloader topic (that is, add a background to it and change the font color );

3. You can set password protection for bootloader;

4. Select the default Operating System;

5. Set whether to use graphic display, resolution, and color depth for uSplash;

The installation is also very simple:

Sudo apt-get install startupmanager grub-splashimages

1. Delete the grub package installed in ubuntu (step 2 fails if it is not deleted)

Code:

Sudo apt-get remove grub

2. reinstall a New grub package (if the first step is not deleted, the installation will fail in this step)

Code:

Sudo apt-get install grub-gfxboot

3. Download the message package, which is the key to modifying the interface
