I am trying out the custom build process, but keep getting stuck at the same point. I am trying to replace the artwork.so and repack the initrd.gz and all that. Here is what I have come up with, not sure if this is rite or not, still pretty new at this,
#replace usplash perm
cd /usr/lib/usplash/
rm usplash-default.so
rm usplash-artwork.so
rm usplash-theme-ubuntu.so
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/usp ... default.so
cp usplash-default.so usplash-artwork.so
cp usplash-default.so usplash-theme-ubuntu.so
rm usplash-default.so
ln -sf /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so
mkdir initrd
cd initrd
cat /home/strider/extract-cd/casper/initrd.gz | gzip -d | cpio -i
cat /home/strider/edit/usr/lib/usplash/initrd.gz | gzip -d | cpio -i
2. Replaced ubuntu-artwork.so in /lib/usplash/ with dragon etc made with TUM (TheeMahns Uspash Maker)
sudo cp /Home/strider/edit/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so
3. Re-package initrd.gz
cd /home/strider/extract-cd/casper/
sudo rm initrd.gz
cd initrd/
find | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > /home/strider/edit/usr/lib/usplash/initrd.gz
5. move repacked initrd.gz to extract-cd folder recalculate md5sum and built the iso.
cd /Home/strider/edit/usr/lib/usplash/
sudo cp initrd.gz /home/strider/extract-cd/casper/
I have tried this way and your way
mkdir initrd
cd initrd
cat ../extract-cd/casper/initrd.gz | gzip -d | cpio -i
2. Replaced ubuntu-artwork.so in /lib/usplash/ with dragon etc made with TUM (TheeMahns Uspash Maker)
sudo cp ../usplash-artwork.so usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so
3. Re-package initrd.gz
cd ..
sudo rm initrd.gz
cd initrd/
find | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ../initrd.gz
5. move repacked initrd.gz to extract-cd folder recalculate md5sum and built the iso.
cd ..
sudo cp initrd.gz extract-cd/casper/
But I keep getting error:
gzip: stdn: unexpected end of file
cpio: premature end of archive
I am not sure what I am doing wrong!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks TheeMahn.
I updated the script today I have went through it step by step, I hope you are building a 64 bit edition why?
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/usp ... default.so #<<- this is 1.9 x64 usplash I dump files there for whatever Ultimate Edition I am working on...
