Ubuntu – How to change the GRUB splash image in 18.04

grub2permissionsplymouthpng

NOTE: I am not after themes… more just hacking what's here as its faster.

In Ubuntu 18.04 I am trying to change the grub.png/splash.png image, the one you see when GRUB asks you what system you want to boot up, Linux/Windows/etc.

I know how to give myself permissions over a whole folder and its files in usr/share/background/ (which is how I changed my login screen), but if I am going any place near GRUB I want to only give permissions to the actual image – not to GRUB or kernel or other files inside.

Ideas?

Ubuntu – Where should I store 3rd party jar (Java archive) files

If all the users in your system don't need access the files, you can put them in your home folder or even better in bin folder (create one if not already done) under your home folder. That way you have a personal bin directory which can be accessed from terminal without specifying the file extension or the program to open the file.

For example,

my-app

would make the terminal to run my-app.any_possible_extension with proper program (Sun's Java or Openjdk in this case). If you create the bin folder, you need to log out and log back in order for the system to recognise the new bin folder. Also, files in the personal bin folder must have been set as executable, otherwise terminal will ignore the file.
