bootsplash:- (loading graphics before kdm) 1:- extract '29662-fingerprint-bs.tar.gz' to '/etc/bootsplash/themes/' 2:- edit '/etc/bootsplash/themes/fingerprint-bs/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg' making sure the picture files/paths are correct. 3:- edit '/etc/sysconfig/bootsplash' making sure THEME= whatever the directory name is, under /etc/bootsplash/themes/. (for instance mine:- 'THEME="fingerprint-bs"') 4:- konsole and type 'mkinitrd' ksplash:- (loading graphics after kdm) 1:- konsole type 'kcmshell4 ksplashthememgr' 2:- select 'install theme file' and select 'login-scan-splash.tar.gz' the 5mb version for KDE4. kdm:- (fingerprint theme for kdm) 1:- sudo zypper in kdebase3-kdm 2:- extract 'login-scan-fusion-0-3-1.tar.gz' into '/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes/' 3:- yast2 -> system -> sysconfig editor 3a:- navigate to 'Display Manager' then change 'DISPLAYMANAGER' field from 'kdm4' to 'kdm' (NOT kdm3!) 3b:- navigate to 'Display Manager' then change'DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME' to 'login-scan-fusion' 4:- konsole and type 'kcmshell kdm' 4a:- set background as 'no picture' and options -> colors = black. (u see the background color before kdm and after kdm, setting it to black makes it blend in.)

Excellent work! Thanks.
has anyone got this to work with suse 10.1?
i have the same probleme in suse 10.1 :( can anyone help me??
anyone have tried it on ubuntu?
under gentoo, it seems not to allow kdm to start on vt7. it claims that "setting up kdm [ ok ]" but it never switches to vt7 and when I do it manually, x hasn't started on it. any ideas? I'm going to do more homework on this and post if I find anything.
I figured this out. It works fine under 2.6.15-gentoo-r5, but not under 2.6.16-gentoo-r1. Therefore it is a problem with the kernel. It appears that (since I have an nVidia card) The framebuffer used to display the splash screen doesn't allow the nvidia kernel module to load (a hard-to-unravel problem with nVidia cards), therefore not allowing X to start. I'll post a solution if I figure one out.
Did you tried to re-emerge botsplash utils and re-generate the initrd file? Could fix, I'm using gentoo +kde +bootsplash with kernel (gentoo-sources) 2.6.16-r6. And I have an nvidia card.
put the Fingerprint dir in /etc/bootsplash/themes, edit the /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash, and run mkinitrd
how can i install it ? =(

hi guys... i'm trying to install this on my kubuntu notebook... can you please help me STEP-BY-STEP?? thank you so much hfish luca.costantino AT gmail DOT com
I've checked that error I get when trying to load this theme as a default bootsplash theme... "The greeter theme is corrupt --------- The theme does not contain definition for the username/password entry element." Any cure for it?
GRUB...SUSE 10 I tried installing both bootsplash theme and KDE splash theme (through KDE config) and both installations failed. KDE Control gives this message: This theme requires the plugin Moodin which is not installed. And GRUB/Gnome bootsplash installer also reports some error with it..can't remember which one though. Is it my SUSE or this theme. I like it very much and would like it operational on my box. I'm open to suggestions.
I just installed this today and I love it! I installed the similar KDM theme yesterday and they're both wonderful! One small thing: in English we say "in the word" rather than "on the word"
"on the planet" also works
Hi, it looks pretty good, i'm gonna try it now. Though i reccommend you to change your config file: # name of the picture file (full path recommended) jpeg=/etc/bootsplash/themes/fingerprint-bs/images/bootsplash-1024x768.jpg silentjpeg=/etc/bootsplash/themes/fingerprint-bs/images/silent-1024x768.jpg You put something like login-blabla instead of fingerprint-bs Cya
