I’ve got a tricky problem. I updated yesterday my SUSE from 11.2 to 11.3. During the update process, I changed and used some additional repositories like the one from Education.
And surprise, when booting, I’ve got a different bootsplash theme than the openSUSE one: an ugly (sorry) KIWI-Ltsp (see Portal:KIWI-LTSP - openSUSE, probably installed from the Education repo.
I went to Yast Installer, and removed the so called bootsplash-branding-openSUSE-Education-thin package.
I checked: there is only one theme in /etc/bootsplash/theme, it’s opensuse. and I couldn’t find any related kiwi-ltsp image in /… But the wrong splash remains!
All config files seem OK. I forced to update all bootsplash related packages (only two: bootsplash and branding-opensuse) but nothing changes…
Another weird thing: splashy uses the default theme (with Tux) and not opensuse’s theme when going to sleep…
open the image in /etc/bootsplash/themes and check that they are what you want, (ie, not the ugly ones). In addition, place whatever other “themes” you may want in this directory.
Open /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash and change the last line “Theme =” to the name of the theme folder you want in /etc/bootsplash/themes
3)Run mkinitrd and reboot and you should now see the “theme” you want after the grub menu up until the login screen.
I have done this since 11.1, I haven’t like their artwork since then. Just a note, I use the suse elegant theme found in KDE look website,much better.
