Linux_Logo – A Command Line Tool to Print Color ANSI Logos of Linux Distributions
|
|||
|
|
================================================================================
|
|||
|
|
linuxlogo or linux_logo is a Linux command line utility that generates a color ANSI picture of Distribution logo with a few system information.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linux_Logo – Prints Color ANSI Logs of Linux Distro
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This utility obtains System Information from /proc Filesystem. linuxlogo is capable of showing color ANSI image of various logos other than the host distribution logo.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The System information associated with logo includes – Linux Kernel Version, Time when Kernel was last Compiled, Number/core of processor, Speed, Manufacturer and processor Generation. It also show information about total physical RAM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is worth mentioning here that screenfetch is another tool of similar kind, which shows distribution logo and a more detailed and formatted system inform http://www.tecmint.com/screenfetch-system-information-generator-for-linux/ation. We have already covered screenfetch long ago, which you may refer at:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- [ScreenFetch – Generates Linux System Information][15]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
linux_logo and Screenfetch should not be compared to each other. While the output of screenfetch is more formatted and detailed, where linux_logo produce maximum number of color ANSI diagram, and option to format the output.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
linux_logo is written primarily in C programming Language, which displays linux logo in an X Window System and hence User Interface X11 aka X Window System should be installed. The software is released under GNU General Public License Version 2.0.

### Installing Linux Logo Utility in Linux ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**1. The linuxlogo package (stable version 5.11) is available to install from default package repository under all Linux distributions using apt, yum or dnf package manager as shown below.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# apt-get install linux_logo [On APT based Systems]
|
|||
|
|
# yum install linux_logo [On Yum based Systems]
|
|||
|
|
# dnf install linux_logo [On DNF based Systems]
|
|||
|
|
OR
|
|||
|
|
# dnf install linux_logo.x86_64 [For 64-bit architecture]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2. Once linuxlogo package has been installed, you can run the command `linuxlogo` to get the default logo for the distribution you are using..**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo

|
|

|
|||
|
|
|

**3. Use the option `[-a]`, not to print any fancy color. Useful if viewing linux_logo over black and white terminal.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -a

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|
# linux_logo -u
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**6. If you are interested in Load Average, use option `[-y]`. You may use more than one option at a time.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -y
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|

**7. There are a lots of built-in Logos for various Linux distributions. You may see all those logos using option `-L list` switch.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -L list
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
List of Linux Logos
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now you want to print any of the logo from the list, you may use `-L NUM` or `-L NAME` to display selected logo.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- -L NUM – will print logo with number NUM (deprecated).
|
|||
|
|
- -L NAME – will print the logo with name NAME.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example, to display AIX Logo, you may use command as:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -L 1
|
|||
|
|
OR
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -L aix
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Print AIX Logo
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Notice**: The `-L 1` in the command where 1 is the number at which AIX logo appears in the list, where `-L aix` is the name at which AIX logo appears in the list.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Similarly, you may print any logo using these options, few examples to see..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -L 27
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -L 21
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Various Linux Logos
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This way, you can use any of the logos just by using the number or name, that is against it.

### Some Useful Tricks of Linux_logo ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**8. You may like to print your Linux distribution logo at login. To print default logo at login you may add the below line at the end of `~/.bashrc` file.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
if [ -f /usr/bin/linux_logo ]; then linux_logo; fi
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Notice**: If there isn’t any` ~/.bashrc` file, you may need to create one under user home directory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**9. After adding above line, just logout and re-login again to see the default logo of your Linux distribution.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Print Logo on User Login
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also note, that you may print any logo, after login, simply by adding the below line.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
if [ -f /usr/bin/linux_logo ]; then linux_logo -L num; fi
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Important**: Don’t forget to replace num with the number that is against the logo, you want to use.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**10. You can also print your own logo by simply specifying the location of the logo as shown below.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# linux_logo -D /path/to/ASCII/logo
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**11. Print logo on Network Login.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# /usr/local/bin/linux_logo > /etc/issue.net
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You may like to use ASCII logo if there is no support for color filled ANSI Logo as:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# /usr/local/bin/linux_logo -a > /etc/issue.net
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**12. Create a Penguin port – A set of port to answer connection. To create Penguin port Add the below line to file /etc/services file.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
penguin 4444/tcp penguin
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here ‘4444‘ is the port number which is currently free and not used by any resource. You may use a different port.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Also add the below line to file /etc/inetd.conf file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
penguin stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/linux_logo
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Restart the service inetd as:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# killall -HUP inetd
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Moreover linux_logo can be used in bootup script to fool the attacker as well as you can play a prank with your friend. This is a nice tool and I might use it in some of my scripts to get output as per distribution basis.
