<br>> ><br>> There's something exactly like that; and it's the right way to solve<br>> this problem. Usplash uses the alternatives system to allow you to pick<br>> which of several equivalents to use if you've got more than one
<br>> installed. The brown Ubuntu logo is always installed, so the kubuntu and<br>> xubuntu ones install as a higher priority to they override it on their<br>> respective systems. If you do:<br>><br>> sudo update-alternatives --config
usplash-artwork.so<br>><br>> You'll get a nice menu to choose which one you want, and the setting<br>> will persist through upgrades. Once you've chosen you'll need to do the<br>><br>> sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`
<br>><br>> thing to actually build your new choice into the initramfs. Also see:<br>> <<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto</a>> for instructions on
<br>> making your own splash image, but note that that page doesn't mention<br>> the alternatives system (yet - I'll fix that in a mo).<br>><br>> Ewan<br>><br>><br><br>Thanks Ewan - I didn't realise update-alternatives was an option.
