[ubuntu-in] Editing grub "menu.lst"
Hi have been trying to edit the menu.lst to be a bit attractive and catchy and have been following the ubuntu grubhowto mainly have been trying to enable the "pretty colours" and adding a "splash image" so i added / edited the following lines in the menu.lst # Pretty colours #color cyan/blue white/blue prettycolours white/blue for pretty colours i tried lots of options just adding white/blue cyan/blue and finally prettycolours white/blue On rebooting there was no change the default menu.lst showed up then i tried adding a splash image made my own - 3 colours and 640 x480 pixels in the xpm format then made into an xpm.gz file then added the following line ## splash image splashimage (hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash3.xpm.gz *Now* there was change in the grub boot loader - but not as expected the new background was just a streak of pixelated colours and i could now *not" see the result of moving the select options. Then i tried the image option i downloaded a link to gnu-head.xpm.gz file mentioned in the ubuntu grubhowto , this works and the grub loader looks much better , then checked how many colors -it seems to me to be two black and white with variations of gray , hence this last query on colours, *** So a few questions 1. Why is the pretty colours option not working - it has worked before in previous Ubuntu Installations 2. Are the two options Pretty Colours and Splash Image options mutually incompatible 3. what could be wrong with a customized image i am trying to put on. 4. when one says 16 colours are acceptable what does this mean *** any suggestions and tips thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

If 'swriter' rather than 'oowriter' works for >you, that is fine. swriter was called so, for older versions of OpenOffice. Newer version (2.0 and onwards, I guess) are called oowriter and so on. However, if the newer version (2.3?) gets back to swriter, no problem. Instead, they should have ln -s swriter oowriter ;) -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
