When we compare it to the beautiful grub of distros like OpenSUSE and PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu default grub screen looks ugly.
OpenSUSE has the most elegant grub GUI and I decided to install that.
Luckily Ubuntu Forums are the best technical resource too.
I followed this post on Ubuntu Forum and was able to easily install the alternative grub.
Though this is still nothing in comparison to original grub GUI in OpenSUSE, still it is much better looking than the default Ubuntu text-based grub.
Here are the detailed instructions
REMOVE OLD GRUB
Code:
sudo apt-get remove grub
Code:
wget http://quasarfreak.googlepages.com/grub-gfxboot_0.97-5_i386.deb
Code:
sudo dpkg -i grub-gfxboot_0.97-5_i386.deb
(You can also get some from gnome-look.org or from the bottom of post #1 in this thread)
Code:
wget http://quasarfreak.googlepages.com/message.suse
Code:
sudo cp message.suse /boot/grub/
(good practice to backup the file first and then edit)
Code:
sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup
Code:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Code:
gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.suse
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
(this may vary based on your computer)
Code:
sudo grub-install hd0
OR
Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda

KISS.
I've tried Ubuntu 8.04, Kubuntu 8.04 and openSuse 11. OpenSuse wins easily. Yast2 is very easy to use for setting up and installing programs. For example it is very easy to check the firewalls status straight out of the box. Desktop is more polished than ubuntu and kubuntu. I found kubuntu to be sluggish compared to openSuse. Suse install is better - You can choose between KDE or Gnome during install! Suse hardware recognition also did better than the others.
