Logo and background for text only console - how?

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi, all!

This place looks like the most appropriate for my questions. I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 in text only mode and on 1st console (tty1) I see background (wallpaper) and logo at upper left corner:

I know that I can to disable this splash permanently (menu.lst) or temporarily (‘echo 0 > /proc/splash’). How I can:

  1. Change the background (/etc/bootsplash/themes - is this here?).
  2. Change the logo on my picture - how to do it I have no idea.

TIA,
Sergei

Hello Dubrov,

You’re right, the files you need to change are located in /etc/bootsplash/themes.
**
1.** To change the background you only have to replace the images here: /etc/bootsplash/themes/openSUSE/images

**2. **To change the logo you need to change these two files:
/etc/bootsplash/themes/openSUSE/images/logo.mng
/etc/bootsplash/themes/openSUSE/images/logov.mng

Strangely enough I could only view these images by opening them in MPlayer.:sarcastic:
But don’t worry, Gimp can export images to the .mng format.

I’ve never done this myself but I think it’s best to keep every image the same size.

Best of luck!:wink:

Hi, Edward_Iii!

I looked at those files many times, suspecting that this is what I’m looking for but I couldn’t view them :slight_smile:

I find small standalone viewer for MNG-files (for Windows): MNG Utilities - this is really that logo :good:

Thanks!

In “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_formats_(alphabetical)”
it says:

Ext. Description Used by
MNG Map DeLorme Map’n’Go

which does not make sense. In http://www.fileinfo.com/list/m it says:

…mng Raster Image Multiple Network Graphic

Could be.

However, “file” does know about it:

cer@Telcontar:~> file /etc/bootsplash/themes/openSUSE/images/logo.mng
/etc/bootsplash/themes/openSUSE/images/logo.mng: MNG video data, 180 x 114

So it is no surprise that mplayer opens it. And xine, only that it doesn’t
stop.
