Add Progress Bar To Splash Screen

Hi all

I got two questions about rsync:

1. I am copying a huge dir with lots of files, how do I see the overall progress? I put in the progress flag but now it show the progress each individual files.

2. Is rsync slower than cp? I used CP to copy over a NFS mount and that took about an hour. I am using rsync to copy over the same mount over the same NFS and so far it has taken 10 minutes to copy 7G. I got over 150G of stuff.

I just used rsync -avh --progress ...

Thanks

Hello, I have just started using linux and I installed linux mint with the i3 window manager on my laptop. I am wondering how can I "theme" it so that it looks good. Right now everyhting in the terminal when I open something such as MOC is ugly and old looking... SO is firefox. How can I chnage the theme to make it more modern looking?? terminal and everything?

hello all,
during installing a software, it shows the packages which are being installed. Is it possible to not show the packages and instead display the progress bar. And if somebody wants to see the packages which are getting installed, then by pressing a combination of keys for eg Ctrl+A or Alt+F4 etc the installing packages could be seen.

We are using sabresd iMx6Q board.The boot loader splash screen is showing for a few seconds and before the kernel splash screen loads, the lcd screen is black for 18 sec.Kindly help us to know why such a delay between the two screens.Any help would be appreciated.

Currently I'm using Windows 7 OS, in the same hardware I have RedHat ISO Image, is there any possibility to boot Linux ISO image directly from the same hardware?(not by using live CD,USB or any VM Workstation). I have 4 drives in my windows OS, I have ISO image in D: drive and E:drive I allocated for Linux, please try to help me out any one .....

Awaiting for your valuable Support........

This morning I was watching some online TV shows on CBS.com. After watching two shows, I tried to watch a third. Instead of a video, I got a screen saying I needed to install Adobe Flash. Obviously, Adobe Flash was already installed--that's how I had watched the first two videos. I decided maybe the problem was CBS wanted a later version of Flash. That's when I ran the YUM update.

Everything seemed to download OK except for firefox. It must have been downloading from a mirror somewhere on the other side of the planet because the download rate was something like 7kb/s. The ETA was something like two hours. I decided to end that terminal session and started the YUM update over again. This time it recognized it had already downloaded all the other packages and the download for firefox was several hundred kilobytes per second. After that the update seemed to go OK.

Unfortunately, when I rebooted and chose the new kernel in the grub list, the boot appears to hang just before I'm supposed to get a login screen. Normally, booting takes only a minute or so, but now all I get is a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, even after waiting 10 minutes. I hit the power switch to turn the computer off and rebooted.

This time I hit the escape key to watch the boot progress. These are the last three lines:
[ OK ] Started Command Scheduler
Starting Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen...
Starting wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to quit...

Then it hangs. Hitting the escape key has no effect. CTRL-ALT-DEL reboots.

According to grub, the newly updated kernel version is: Fedora (3.19.5-200.fc21.x86_64) 21 (Twenty One)

I tried another YUM update. Here's the results:
[root@XXXXX ~]# yum update

I had been using the video driver available on nVidia.com on the previous kernel. (That kernel still works because I'm able to type this.) It's very likely not the latest version of video driver since it has been a while since I installed it. Could this have something to do with the hang?

What should I try to do next? Thanks for reading this.

How can I change my gtk theme? Ive looked online and found nothing. Thanks.

I want to change the menu on a Suse 12 Enterprise system.
I edit the /etc/default zip12grub.conf file execure grug2-mkconfig. Then reboot the system and no changes occur. The zip12grub.conf seems like the correct file to update so I am at a loss as to what the correct process would be.

cat zipl2grub.conf

There are no buttons to add splash screens in Plasma 5 and cannot extract down loaded kde splash screens into usr/share/ksplash.

I am doing a project on Image Watermarking using Discrete Wavelet Transform. I have done with watermarked image,Now I am attacking image with attack like rotation. My question is that when I apply function imrotate to the watermarked image, all the pixels that are not included in the rotated image becomes zero as it is property of imrotate. Due to this I got very low PSNR between Original Image and rotated Watermarked image.

My question is-I want to rotate the image but also need to have high value of PSNR after rotation. Is there any method that after rotation all or most pixels of rotated image resembles with pixels of original image.

Shortcoming of imrotate ie zero value of pixels outside rotated area can be removed by which method???????????????
