How to Change splash in Ubuntu

there's a symbolic link in /usr/share/pixmaps/splash pointing to the ubuntu splash image.

Just recreate it pointing to YOUR png file like this:

Code:

cd /usr/share/pixmaps/splash
sudo mv path_to_your_splash.png ./mysplash.png
sudo rm ubuntu-splash.png       => we're just deleting a link, not the png
sudo ln -s mysplash.png ubuntu-splash.png

Done! Fast and easy!


To cancel changes, just delete the link again and rebuilt it pointing to the original png:

Code:

cd /usr/share/pixmaps/splash
sudo rm ubuntu-splash.png
sudo ln -s ubuntu-slick.png ubuntu-splash.png
