To install UsplashSmooth , issue the following command in the terminal(Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) window:
Quote : wget http://ubuntu-art.org/CONTENT/content-files/93394-usplash-smooth-0.4.tar.gz
Quote : tar -xvzf 93394-usplash-smooth-0.4.tar.gz
The above commands would download and extract archive containing the UsplashSmooth package files ( deb files).
Finally to install i386 version of UsplashSmooth issue the following command :
Quote : sudo dpkg -i usplash-smooth_0.4_i386.deb
or if you are running 64bit Ubuntu on a AMD processor , issue the following command:
Quote : sudo dpkg -i usplash-smooth_0.4_amd64.deb
If above commands executed well , UsplashSmooth should be properly installed on your pc. Reboot your pc , the first time you reboot/restart your computer you will find Usplash progressbar to be terribly out of sync with the boot process. This is because UsplashSmooth records your bootup/shutdown time and uses this time to synchronize the animation of progress bar , so first time the progress bar is out of sync with the boot process.
Though Usplash is no where near perfect , one thing in particular I noticed was most of the times shutdown progress bar animation was out of sync with the shut down process(it moved slowly). Leaving these minor glitches aside UsplashSmooth is an interesting piece of addition to Ubuntu desktop , it's small addition like these that makes ubuntu experience complete and makes Ubuntu user friendly.
