Getting rid of splash screen during boot/shutdown

[TheDead]

Yep, you can change the splash screen to something else.

Depend on the distro press F1 or F2 or Shift-F1 or Shift-F2 on boot logo.

But if you want to make this permanent follow this "simple" procedure :

*Make sure you have no pending updates or reboot before doing this.
**Make sure you have a backup since it modifies part of the Linux kernel.
Note : before anything, I'm not in front of a Linux PC at the moment so check if this folder is present :
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/details
If it is, continue...

Open a terminal Windows and type (or copy-paste) this line:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/details/details.plymouth 100


sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

Choose the details.plymouth line number (i.e. 3)

Then do ...
sudo update-initramfs -u

Rebootz you computar and get l33tz rezultz!

Cheers!
