How To Enable Graphical Boot with Plymouth on Fedora 10
Thanks to this guide by axel, I was able to get rid of the simple blue/light blue/white bar loader and get the fancy graphical loader better known as Plymouth. Keep in mind that I am using it on a laptop that has Intel 945GM graphics.
I’m going to keep things basic without a lot of jargon. If you’d like more details on this, visit this page.
To see a preview of this boot process, check this OGG.
Type the following into the terminal to configure grub:
su -
gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
Then, within the grub.conf file, add the bold text below (this value will also depend upon which screen resolution you’d like. To get this value, visit this page):
title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,9)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=a61c8338-e373-4389-ae00-32942185f7c2 rhgb quiet vga=792
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img
If you’d like to add more themes, you’ll need to first download and install them and then set them as default. To do this, type the following into the terminal, replacing what’s within the {} with the loader of your choice):
su -
yum install plymouth-plugin-{fade-in,pulser,spinfinity}
Then, set your theme as default:
su -
plymouth-set-default-plugin pluginname
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
