Grub splash

[Primoz]

I installed grub splash for kubuntu, but it doesn't works.
The grub says that it cant read images they are in xpm.gz format.
Do I have to format?
Do I have to install additional program where I can change which image I want to have?

Have anyone else installed this package?
I think I got it by adding KDE-looks repository (not sure)

Thanks!
But I forgot that I have to edit as root, so now I can't edit it no more...
Any ideas how to go around this...
(thanks god everything still works!) Well all but grub splash image, that is...

Re: Grub splash

All you have to do is change the ownership on the file. Two ways to do this, but I prefer doing it from the command line. Open a console. Navigate to where you have the file. Type:

sudo chown username:username filename

where username is your username and filename is the name of the file.

I actually made a post about Grub Splash Screen in Kubuntu. I use Qgrub Editor. Here's my post http://ubuntusite.com/easiest-way-in...b-boot-screen/
