Changing the Preboot Background Image on SDLinux
As of version 8.6, changing the preboot background image on an SDLinux deployed system is now supported. Unlike Windows however, support is limited to changing the preboot background from within the Linux client (changing the preboot background from SES is currently not available in this version).
Before changing the preboot background image make sure:
• Linux client is fully encrypted
• New image is a .png format
• New image is accessible in the Linux client
To change the preboot background:
1. Navigate to the installation path /usr/local/WinMagic
2. Run the following command to change the preboot background:
sudo ./sdbkimage -f -i
or (if you don’t know the sdspace path)
sudo ./sdbkimage -i
Example:
3. Once the update is successful, you should now see the new preboot background image used on the next reboot.
