Splash Pro Alternative

[Liliane Hubright]

Iwould love an animated splash screen, just for a bit of eye candy to replace the purple splash (with 4 dots) during the boot sequence. I know it will slow down boot time but I don't care I just want it to look good. When I show my friends how much better looking Ubuntu is than windows the splash really lets it down.

I use an old favorite "Ubuntu Sunrise" in 12.04 (In fact I have been using it since 10.04 LTS). It's easy to install (instructions below) and it has never caused me any issues. However you should note that changing your Plymouth may cause resolution issues depending on your own resolution.

Note: Some people have issues installing other Plymouth themes (I've never had any) and I would strongly advise you to take a look at these issues here at Ask Ubuntu to familiarise yourself.

Has anyone here gotten a splash screen to work with bunsenlabs or crunchbang? I've checked out the old crunchbang forum. There have been attempts at getting plymouth to work correctly. The behavior I've heard and also experienced was not being able to poweroff correctly. It'll hang up on a black screen with out powering down my VM.

cause it wasn't based on ubuntu anymore.

cause it's useless.

and, it also makes it somewhat difficult to read error messages and warnings during boot (obviously).

i once read an article somewhere that said that plymouth even discards error messages, and should therefore be regarded faulty and dangerous, or sth to that effect.

How do you start the VM? Using VirtualBox or something else?

Bunsenlabs running as host or as guest?

Is the guest started automatically when booting the host? How?

How do you 'send poweroff'?

How I start my VM is by using VirtualBox v5.0.14.

I'm actually running a stripped down version of crunchbang waldorf.

Tint2 is disabled, conky is disabled, anything that isn't truly necessary is disabled.

Thanks for explaining.

I understand now what the problem is.

This would require debugging plymouth to see where exactly it stalls, or falls back to a terminal prompt, which I am not really interested in.

When you enter 'exit' on the prompt, does it then run to termination? Or don't you get control and can't you enter anything?

Well, I was curious, and I am always working on a throw-away system, so I installed plymouth and I can see it is active during boot, but I can't see it stepping in at shutdown. Perhaps because my system shuts down real fast?

This is on bare metal, not in a VM.

The shutdown does not stall, but is really fast.

Played with Plymouth again on Hydrogen last night. Full on meh. So not worth the effort for what it does (hides a few seconds of rather important boot stages). And then it kicks you back to the console right before login anyways. systemd boot times FTW.

Similarly, Splashtop offers a comprehensive free version for personal use, which is the better TeamViewer alternative to their personal version, given that TeamViewer personal lacks many options including blank screen, disable remote input, and remote print options, in addition to many more features that require a paid subscription unless using a TeamViewer alternative.

Though Splashtop for business isn't free, it does guarantee 50% savings or more - in many cases, significantly more - compared to a comparable TeamViewer business package.

TeamViewer used to be one of the most popular options for remote work, but the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated many companies' plans for remote work. Because this process had to happen so quickly, many companies realized that there were shortcomings in the TeamViewer software that were causing a lot of problems early on.

This has caused many businesses to realize that TeamViewer may not be the best option for their teams who were now working remotely, as it has not kept pace with changes in technology, security, and economics. This caused many companies to start looking for TeamViewer alternatives that deliver a better overall package than the original.

For this reason, you'll find that Splashtop is the best alternative to TeamViewer, as it provides your workers with reliable, secure remote access at a significantly lower cost to your business, with a guarantee of at least 50% savings compared to comparable TeamViewer package.
