I found MIB-Ossigeno plymouth theme (Mandriva 2010.1 based themes) and it look very nice, so i decided to change images and make it look nice with Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
- MIB-Ubutnu
- MIB-Kubuntu
To install themes extract it to Home folder and run this in terminal:
For MIB-Ubuntu
sudo cp -R MIB-Ubuntu/ /lib/plymouth/themes/
For MIB-Kubuntu
sudo cp -R MIB-Kubuntu/ /lib/plymouth/themes/Then:
For MIB-Ubuntu:
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/MIB-Ubuntu/MIB-Ubuntu.plymouth 100
For MIB-Kubutnu:
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/MIB-Kubuntu/MIB-Kubuntu.plymouth 100
Then:
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
and chose MIB-Ubuntu or MIB-Kubuntu from list
at end run:
sudo update-initramfs -u
If you want to customize theme with custom background and logo just replace background.png and logo.png.

why when I run this: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
I get this answer:
There is only one alternative in link group default.plymouth: /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
Nothing to configure.
thanks!
I needed to add:
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/MIB-Ubuntu/MIB-Ubuntu.plymouth 100
before running:
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
for it to work.
Great splash, thx.

Hi !
I made the one for Xubuntu, it works fine !
It's based on the Kubuntu one, but with the Xubuntu wallpaper and logo.
Where can I post it, can I mail it to you so that you post it on DeviantArt?
mail me if you can, or if you have deviantArt acc post it there i will link it.
