Tips Cara Merubah Tampilan Login Screen di Ubuntu
Saya
kembali coba ngotak ngatik ubuntu, dan kali ini aku coba merubah
background login screen dari ubuntu. Dimana beberapa waktu lalu aku
menggunakan software dari ubuntu bernama Login Screen (GDM2Setup). Nah
kali ini aku coba dengan cara manual, adapun caranya :
1. Siapkan wallpaper yang akan dijadikan login screen
2. Pastikan picture tersebut ber-ext jpg.
3. Pindahkan file tersebut ke direktory system wallpaper.
sudo mv ~/your-wallpaper-name.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds
4. Actifkan Appearance window login
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
5.
Tutup terminal. –>> Log out session. Pada login screen, akan
muncul Appearance Preferences. Kemudian pilih background tab pilih
wallpaper yang diinginkan sebagai background. (Jika wallpaper yang
diinginkan tidak muncul, klik Add. Dan wallpaper yang diinginkan akan
ada didalam direktori /usr/share/backgrounds directory).
6. Maka login screen akan memiliki background sesuai dengan yang diinginkan.
7. Lalu supaya tampilan Appearance Preferences tidak muncul masukkan perintah :
sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
Demikian langkah yang aku lakukan semoga bermanfaat.
How to Customize Ubuntu Splash and Login Screen
On
7/14/2012
 Ubuntu,
which is perhaps the best Linux distribution around, has won over many
Windows and Mac users thanks to its amazing repertoire of features and
applications. Not only does Ubuntu excel in speed, stability and
features, it also has an ability to attract new users thanks to its
amazing artwork. Beautiful fonts, gorgeous wallpapers, and some
eye-catching themes give Ubuntu its distinct identity.
And
though the custom look and feel of the Canonical-sponsored OS wows many
naysayers, it still fails to charm the tweakers / customizers among us.
Don’t worry if you belong to the latter category though, as Ubuntu,
unlike Mac OS X, allows its users to customize their distro to any
extent. Though a complete customization will take a lot of time, you can
simply customize the boot splash screen and the login screen to get a
dramatic change in your GUI. So, if you’re looking for ways to customize
your distro, here is a quick guide on how to customize your Ubuntu boot
splash and login screen.
Changing the Ubuntu boot splash:
To
change the boot splash screen, you’ll first have to install Plymouth
Manager. Simply open your terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and paste or type in
the following commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install plymouth-manager
This will install just the splash screen manager; however, to install the themes, you’ll have to type in the following command:
sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme*
Now, simply open the Plymouth Manager by looking for it using the launcher and choose your favorite boot up screen.
 Changing the Ubuntu login Screen:
Changing the login screen is as easy as changing your wallpaper, as Ubuntu 12.04
changes the image on the login screen once you change your wallpaper.
That said, you might want to try out something new, and in that case,
Mint Display Manager or MDM comes in handy. Firstly, install MDM by
typing in or pasting the following commands in the Linux terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mdm mint-mdm-themes
During
installation, choose MDM instead of lightDM and your login screen will
be replaced by a gorgeous Mint-style login screen. Though Mint’s login
screen doesn't blend that well with Ubuntu, it does, however, prove to
be one of the best choices if you want to give your desktop a brand new
look.
KDM,
KDE’s default login screen manager isn't that bad either. It has a
chic, elegant, and glossy look, which will definitely appeal to many
users. To install it, you’ll have to install the KDE desktop first that
can be done by entering the following command:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Then, once KDE is installed, switch to KDM using the following command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm This will open up an ncurses menu allowing you to switch between GDM and KDM. You can then customize your KDE login screen by going to the settings menu in your KDE desktop |
