Just done my usual zypper dup on Tumbleweed and now when I boot my ASUS Laptop I see an ASUS logo with the Tumbleweed logo beneath it. Really neat, wonder if it recognises other makes as well?
Stuart
Does with Gigabyte. I suspect that it is not “recognizing” but has something to do with the new graphical logon process that SUSE has been working on as reported recently.
Just rebooted my desktop which is a home built but there is no logo. Obviously does not know either motherboard of processor! Perhaps there is an image somewhere which could be edited?
Stuart
This perhaps ?

What snapshot are you using? I didn’t think it had made it into TW yet, but I seem to be getting a lot wrong lately 
… rotfl!
Yes, I rather like it. I normally don’t use the splash screen, but I turned it on to test.
I don’t think it is recognizing your computer as an ASUS. Rather, it is using the screen from the BIOS. In my case, I was using a virtual machine (KVM), and it says “TianoCore” which comes from the OVMF firmware. I didn’t try flash on the real physical computer that I updated yesterday.

My branding-opensuse is 84.87.20180403-1.1 and grub2-branding-opensuse is the same version, are these the files in question?
How does it get the logo to display?
Stuart
Those are the same versions I have, I don’t use plymouth so am not seeing the effect.
OK, I’ve investigated a little further…
If you look at the change log for grub2-branding-openSUSE:

- Rewrite the spec and makefile to make it easier to contibute
- Change the default plymouth theme to bgrt
The change to bgrt enables plymouth to use the UEFI boot/logo screen during the boot process.
See:
I saw a hp logo here on a low res. but when I increase the resolution to 1920x1050 the logo disappeared.
I haven’t check if it will comeback if I switch to a low resolution in the boot loader.
Yes, I see the boot logo screen on UEFI boxes. But on an older system with legacy BIOS, I only see a black screen with the Tumbleweed logo at the bottom.
And for those who do not use encrypted disk:
On booting with Plymouth, I first see a black screen with the Tumbleweed logo near the bottom. And there is a box for entering the encryption passphrase. That box is near the middle of the screen. The computer manufacturer’s boot logo only shows up after entering the passphrase.
Overall, I like the new plymouth screen. However, I will revert to my normal practice of not showing it, because I really prefer to see all of those boot messages.
