I am not talking about the login screen.  has helped me fix that.  I am talking about the initial start up screen with incrementing anticipation dots during the boot. It says Lubuntu instead of Ubuntu. I'd like it to say Ubuntu if possible.  Where is this config file stored?  This is the screen I want to modify:

With regards to Plymouth --  Are there alternative boot screens available?  What's the easiest way to change the boot screen?

I am creating a custom live CD based on Ubuntu 15.10. When the user sees the first boot screen (and doesn't press a key), it will automatically boot into a GUI menu where the user can choose 'Try Ubuntu' or 'Install Ubuntu':    However, if the user presses a key, it gets a text menu. Selecting 'Try Ubuntu' boots directly into the desired live CD:    I can successfully remove the installer boot entries in the text menu (isolinux/txt.cfg), but this doesn't change the default boot option when the user does not press any key. Removing the installation package ubiquity is not an option, I just want to prevent the user from starting the installer directly.  How can I change the default boot option to boot into 'Try Ubuntu'?

At the very beginning of the booting of an installation media (typically a USB stick), before even choosing your language, there is an intriguing symbol. It represents a keyboard, an equal sign (=) and a circled human. This circled human is similar to the accessibility symbol in GNOME.  What does the symbol mean and what would happen if I press a key at that time?

I just found some cool boot-up video and audio file, and I want to make a custom boot-up animation in Ubuntu 11.04. Any suggestions?

OS: Win7 Pro x64 Laptop: Lenovo x240 Dock: Lenovo ThinkPad Basic Dock - Port Replicator  Monitor 1: AOC 21.5", E2243FW (VGA) Monitor 2: Lenovo 21.5", LS2223 (DVI)   Issue:  When hovering the cursor over any pinned/unpinned icon on my taskbar, the preview icon that pops up is quickly fading away (as quickly as it starts up, seemingly with the reverse animation as when it appears).  While holding Alt and pressing Tab to cycle through open applications, the window of icons will disappear (and if I continue to hold Alt and press Tab again, the window will reappear and will start me back at the first icon).  This problem will "randomly" not happen after rebooting and then will begin happening again.  Attempts to resolve:   Fully run the Windows and ThinkVantage System Updates Removed all unnecessary peripherals (keyboard, external CD drive, ect) Changed Visual Effects from "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" to "Adjust for best performance", as well as Custom (all unchecked, and tried solely checking "Save taskbar thumbnail previews") Used one monitor at a time (tried both monitors separately). Lowered the resolution and refresh rate of each monitor. Removed all external monitors. Used the laptop completely removed from the dock and external peripherals Safemode   Comments:  I have seen some  that can extend  which, as you can imagine, I'm hoping to steer clear of having to make any changes like this. No other Windows 7 machines I've used have had this issue.  My guess is that an application isn't stealing Window's focus since I'm able to leave the Start menu up for an infinite amount of time without it minimizing.  Edit: I notice the amount of time icon previews stay visible varies - they could last 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 second, half a second, ect.

I have a quite wide monitor and it's quite annoying to see the login dialog in the login screen on the far left side of my screen. I literally have to turn my head around to look at it!  Is there a way to center the login dialog?

can anyone tell me the name of the file which contains the default icons list for Unity launcher?  I am assuming it will be a .conf file.

I've been experimenting with various Desktop Environments, including LXDE, XFCE, KDE.   I'm returning to Unity, and I would like my login screen back to the default for 12.04. I think that it changed when I tried KDE, probably because of an answer I gave to a prompt that I didn't understand.  Any ideas?

So I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my Dell XPS 13. When I get to the login screen it starts at 3200x1800 for a quick second, then I get a way lower resolution like 800x600 but as soon as I login it adjusts to 3200x1800. How would I get 3200x1800 permanently on my login screen? I didn't have this issue on 14.04.

The  in 14.04 [EDIT ] don't work in 16.04. The "custom" background shows for a split second and then fades to the Ubuntu one. So, how do I change the login screen background in 16.04?  [Edit: this post is not a duplicate because all other related questions specifically refer to previous versions of Ubuntu, and the solutions to those do not apply here (as they do not work on 16.04).]

I'd like to be able to disable the Ubuntu splash screen that I see on boot with the indicator meter of progress, and replace that with a text-only readout of the boot up process (such as you can get by hitting the esc key during the splash screen).  Is this possible?  I am not asking to disable X and get to text-only login, I"m asking how to deactivate the "Ubuntu" loading screen with the dots, so that I can see text output from the boot process - processes being started, kernel messages, etc.  When I wrote this question I was not asking how to disable X altogether, only the boot splash screen.

Cause Ubuntu uses Upstart instead of init, there is some different from Red Hat. But How can I get the list of each runlevel number standing for, such as init 0 means shutdown. man init can't show the list. So which command or man page cant print the list. Thx!

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and one of my first negative impressions is the long animation of flying-in icons when opening the app menu.  Can I speed this up or disable it?

What I want to achieve:  I want to customize my complete boot of my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation  to show the same wallpaper which is actually on my desktop.  What I achieved till now:   added the wallpaper to the grub menu by adding the following lines to /etc/deault/grub and doing an update-grub afterwards.  export GRUB_MENU_PICTURE="/boot/grub/wallpaper.png" export GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="white/black" export GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="black/white"  added the wallpaper to the splash-screen and login screen   Problem:  When I boot up the picture is showing while in grub, but then I rarely see the splash screen, instead I get an almost blank screen showing the file-system check like following:  /dev/sda1: clean, 201776/60878736 files, 4991277/243040256 blocks   This prevents me from having the boot experience I want to achieve since after that the splash-screen just shortly popping up after that message.  Question:  How can I remove this message from showing up so I get a seamless booting with my beloved wallpaper, without switching the file-system check completely off (if possible)?

This problem happens sometimes when ubuntu starts up. You can't really boot to the interface sometimes.  Splash Screen with the 5 dots and a message saying:     waiting for network configuration   followed by:     waiting an additional 60 seconds for network configuration
