Splashy and a crappy One colour progress bar

yes you got it

sudo aptitude remove usplash --purge

And then it asked me if I want to remove desktop-ubuntu, I spent an hour checking if im not removing my desktop.

then

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

and changed my kernel to vga parameter to vga=795 (I advise 792)
sudo update-grub

I installed splashy via package manager

After that i was finished and got a really retarded boot splash.

Fucked up my Ubuntu Splash Screen

Yes I did, unfortunately its now a well known bug in intrepid that you cant change usplash so i have to purge it and get splashy this will work 100% apparently. I will do it but i CBA now, off to learn some more CoB keyboard covers.

Help Making CoB Boot Splash

Well i'm aware im running Intrepid so i tried out applying a new pre-made splash if this works im gonna make a Children of Bodom splash (probably In Your Face music video). But if it doesnt then im gonna use splashy instead of usplash and make the same thing for that. I would really like to include sound in it. Any help appreciated!

CBA with the Vista Button (HOW to login window and bootsplash)

because i really hate screenlets which grab 100megs of RAM just for the stupid top of the orb.
So i got myself a new login screen
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Intrepid-Ibex+3+GDM?content=92876

I downloaded that and then opened System --> Administration --> Login Window
Then on the tabs i found local and clicked add. Then i found the file i downloaded in the file browser that came up and clicked install. After this it was displayed alongside other themes available (human, human circle of friends etc.) and I just clicked on intrepid ibex 3.

Then i logged out and it worked.

I also got a GRUB new bootsplash image

This one YOU NEED TO UNPACK instructions are in the file.
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR /boot/grub/menu.lst FILE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WONT BOOT IF YOU TYPED SOMETHING WRONG.

I will explain how to recover MBR/GRUB errors in the next post about my struggles of dual booting ubuntu and XP with linux installed first.
