USplash Theme Fingerprint

Usplash Themes by Phylu 87 comments

Sorry to disappoint you.
This splash screen is based on usplash which was replaced in Ubuntu several versions back with plymouth. Therefore it will not work on current versions.

I don't think that I will release a Plymouth version, though. - Nov 22 2013

Usplash Themes by Phylu 87 comments

Lucid is using Plymouth to draw splash screens while booting, the fingerprint theme is still based on USplash. Therefore it should not be working.

I hope to have enough time soon, to work on a Plymouth version. But I cannot promise anything. Help would be highly appreciated. - Sep 06 2010

As with the new version there should be no problems with grub2 anymore. If there are some, though, please report it to me. - May 20 2010

I have not optimized this splash screen for grub 2, that might be the reason why it is not working propperly on Ubuntu 9.10.

But if you find the right parameters for grub you should put them into
/etc/default/grub
to get the silent mode working.

The next new version is planned to be based on plymouth. - Feb 19 2010

Usplash Themes by Phylu 87 comments

The resolution you have to use is 1024*768

try to deinstall the fingerprint. then reinstall the normal usplash of your system e.g. usplash-theme-ubuntu.
Then install usplash-theme-fingerprint. - May 14 2009

In my version for Hardy, there is no function for a verbose mode build.

You could try to download the latest version (which is for jaunty) and compile it yourself. I do unluckily have no longer a hardy machine to pre-compile it.

There is also the problem that the text box in verbose mode is too small and if you use an ext-filesystem the filesystem-check will use more space and go beyond the border of the text box.

I hope i could help. - May 13 2009

I really like this USplash.

But when using the verbose mode the security check of vfat formated hard discs go beyond the scobe of the textarea.

I also have this problem with my own splash screen and heaven't found a solution yet.

A photo of the problem can be found here:

The problem is that the backround picture has an resolution of 1280*1024 ad it wasn't made by me. So this is the biggest resolution i can make one. But i think there will be one in the next version - Jan 24 2009

You can try to download the source code. Then open a shell and change to the directory you unpacked the source.

Then type 'make' and the 'sudo make install'

But you need the usplash development package to do so (should be libusplash-dev).

Good luck...

And I'll do my very best to look if I can finde resolve the problem. - Jan 20 2009

I'm sorry, but I can't see a mistake. Can you try the old version? I made it (the V0.1-1) on Hardy and it worked. - Jan 02 2009

Perhaps a problem in the menu.lst. Wrong resolution, no splash activated...

Can you post the boot entry from you menu.lst? - Jan 01 2009

Hmm... I can't find a problem with the links. They should all work.

Try the download page on my homepage: http://phylu.bplaced.de/public/?page=fingerprint. You can switch the language (German or English) at the bootom of the site.

If even that doesn't help give me your e-mail and I will send you the package. - Dec 28 2008

I see no reason why it schouldn't work under 64 bit. But i have no possibility to try it.
What have you done to install, and what doesn't work exactly? - Dec 28 2008
USplash Theme Fingerprint

Usplash Themes by Phylu 87 comments

Open a console and type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to edit the boot menu. Search for the first boot entry which should look like:

title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=3c40ab0b-e9c4-4781-9027-3919804008bb ro splash quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic
quiet

Add "vga=791" to the line kernel and "splash" if it isn't set.

Then download the latest .deb package and install it. That's it.


If it works then you can edit the default boot options in the menu.lst not to loose the settings.
Search for the line defoptions. It should look like
# defoptions=splash quiet vga=791 - Dec 24 2008
