Install Plymouth Manager dan Merubah Boot Screen di Ubuntu

Install Plymouth Manager and Change Boot Screen in Ubuntu/Linux Mint and Fix Plymouth for Proprietary Graphics Drivers (Nvidia/ATI)

Plymouth Manager is a GUI tool to manage the plymouth splash screen at Ubuntu start-up and shutdown. Ubuntu has few plymouth themes in its official repository, and by default doesn’t have a plymouth manger installation. Here is how to install latest plymouth manager and plenty of plymouth themes from an untrusted PPA.

Mario Guerriero’s ppa provides lastest stable plymouth-manager packages and also a mass of plymouth themes for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric/11.04 Natty/10.10 Maverick/10.04 LTS/Linux Mint.

To install Plymouth Manager open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install plymouth-manager

Now Install all the Themes for Plymouth with this command:

sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme*

If you want separate theme or specific themes just visit on Launchpad.

To change theme open Terminal and enter following command:

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

Now enter theme number which you want to apply and press enter.
Than Enter the following command in the Terminal. (If this command shows error, Enter once again).

sudo update-initramfs -u

Note: Plymouth does not reliably work with nVidia drivers and during bootup a blank screen may result for several seconds.

We try to fix it now for Nvidia/ATI Cards:

Open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T)and enter the following commands:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57638460/fixplymouth

chmod +x fixplymouth

./fixplymouth

For example, In picture screen size is 1440×900 so here entered:

1440×900-24

If you don’t know your screen resolution? Open the ‘Monitor’ application to find out.
