Lastly, make sure your grub path to the file is correct. From the grub prompt, you can actually browse & display the file images. >root (hd0,6) >splashimage /boot/grub/myfile.xpm.gz Once you establish grub can find & display the file, you update menu.lst. You need something like: # Splash Image splashimage (hd0,6)/boot/grub/myfile.xpm.gz Then 'sudo update-grub' & reboot. -- GRUB splashes doesn't work in Dapper https://launchpad.net/bugs/51866 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
