Fedora 10 Graphical Bootsplash – Plymouth
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008Plymouth is a new and amazing Graphical Boot splash for Fedora 10. In order to see the graphical boot and not just the text loader, you must enable a mode setting for your video:
spoilt@spoiltspace.co.uk:~$ sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.conf, and add ‘vga=0x318‘ to the end of the kernel line:
title Fedora (2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=9ae10394-2c58-4076-83c4-b8095211ed2f rhgb quiet vga=0x318
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686.img
Do a reboot and check out the fancy Plymouth graphical booter. Tip: Use vga=ask instead and then follow the instructions to find the appropriate value for your monitor. Then, replace vga=ask with your value. If you’d like to try out the remaining plymouth themes:
spoilt@spoiltspace.co.uk:~$ sudo yum install plymouth-plugin-fade-in plymouth-plugin-pulser plymouth-plugin-spinfinity
spoilt@spoiltspace.co.uk:~$ sudo plymouth-set-default-plugin name_of_the_plugin
spoilt@spoiltspace.co.uk:~$ sudo /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
Enjoy!
