Soka Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 For lilo graphical login post the content of /etc/lilo.conf so we can see which options you have there. To choose the background image for the login manager, if you are using gdm, in a terminal run as root gdmsetup. I'm not sure for kdm, but I think there is an app called kdm theme manager which lets you manage them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest a_r_schulz Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (Happens to me whenever I install new kernels, since the 'install_kernel' script seems to insist on dropping the graphical lilo menu in favour of the plain text menu...) For graphical LILO, you will have to replace message=/boot/message by something like: bitmap=/boot/lilo-splash.bmp (check your /boot for some .bmp file) see also: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Graphical_Lilo AFAIR there was also a way to include the text position and colour settings into the .bmp file (which I had done some time ago, so I don't need those extra lines mentioned in the WIKI). I've just checked drakconfig - apparently they have dropped graphical LILO in favour of GRUB (if they ever had it at all..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 this is my problem: my lilo is textual, the os loading is textual. this is because i tried to change the default ones, and from that moment on, i lost the graphic settings .. The easy way to do this is to make sure you have installed the bootsplash and bootsplash-themes packages. Open mcc > boot > select the graphical theme of the system while booting > theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
