linuxlogo for Debian
--------------------
Old versions of linuxlogo have modified /etc/issue file so that the selected
logo would display at the login prompt. Since this was a policy violation
(/etc/issue belongs to another Debian package) the Debconf selection was
dropped.
1. Instruction for users with sysv init systems (where inittab is present)
(Recommended) Scipt way
A good way is to use install_linux_logo from /usr/share/linuxlogo/ (thanks Barak A. Pearlmutter), and
invoke it install_linux_logo install|uninstall.
Manual way
Users that want to show the logo in the login files have to manually edit
configuration files for this. You have several options:
* (Recommended) Manually /etc/inittab:
Add '-f /etc/issue.linuxlogo' to the getty lines in /etc/inittab for each
terminal that will display Linuxlogo at the login prompt. For an ASCII logo
use /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii. The line:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
becomes:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -f /etc/issue.linuxlogo 38400 tty1
* Edit /etc/pam.d/login
Change the (commented) issue definition:
# auth required pam_issue.so issue=/etc/issue
to:
auth required pam_issue.so issue=/etc/issue.linuxlog
Note: In old Debian releases you can also adjust the ISSUE_FILE definition
in /etc/login.defs
You *can not* make a symlink (or a diversion) from /etc/issue to the
/etc/issue.linuxlogo files, if you do so the /etc/init.d/linuxlogo script will
fail as it uses /etc/issue to update the linuxlogo files.
2. Instructions for users with systemd
As described in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=750781
The simplest approach - editing /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service and
adding the "-f /etc/issue.linuxlogo" parameter to the ExecStart line -
gives the right result, but that solution is vulnerable to being
overwritten on upgrade. (You also need to remember to invoke
"systemctl daemon-reload && getty@tty1 start", making sure you aren't
logged in on TTY1 at the time.)
The next best option - copying the file to /etc/systemd/system and
editing it there - also works, though it still means losing any
improvements in later versions of the packaged service file.
