GRUB PRIVATIZATION

 

If you are using more than one operating system on the same computer, you are definitely using a boot manager. In this article, I'm writing how to customize the first page that has operating system options on a computer that has a grub installed.

Due to the difference of the opening managers and systems on this issue, although many resources on the internet, I will benefit from different sources will be a first.

First, gfxboot needs to be installed on your system. Gfxboot is installed as standard with GRUB from many linux distributions. You must install this package if it is not installed. Probably goes by a name like grub-gfxboot. Check with your package manager. To use gfxboot in GRUB, /boot/grub/menu.lst must have a line like gfxmenu / boot / grub / message. If you don't, gfxboot is probably not installed in you.

The file / boot / grub / message is the gfxboot file. This file contains the files on the boot screen, language files, setting files. You can modify your own files and make your own gfxboot screen. The file named message is a cpio archive. To open cpio archives, you need to have cpio software on your system.

To open the message file, use the following command: cpio -idv

Also, you can download the available bootsplash files from the Internet, for example: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/MIB+Ossigeno+Ultimate+Gfxboot?content=126946

Now you can change the files according to your own. All files are opened. Delete the old message file in the same folder before archiving. Finally, I remind you that the message should be in the file / boot / grub / message and the gfxmenu / boot / grub / message line in the menu.lst file.

To archive files again, use the following command: ls | cpio -ov> message

If you need to know when you need to use the following commands, you can start your system from a live cd and re-install the opening manager. It is enough to know the following commands for all these steps.

sudo cp message (new) / boot / grub

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.yedek

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst e add the following line to the first row: gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.suse

sudo grub grub> find / boot / grub / stage1

Here you will receive feedback (hdx, y). Use the numbers given here instead of x and y in the following command. For example, if you get (hd0.0), type 0 instead of x and 0 instead of y.

grub> root (hdx, y)

grub> setup (hdx)
