Grub Init Tune - Mario Bros. Mushroom Powerup
This Grub Init Tune will make your computer sound like a Super Mushroom every time you turn it on! This only works for the Grub bootloader - this generally means you need to have Linux (or other Grub-based OS) installed.
Here's the code, which goes in your /etc/default/grub
file:
GRUB_INIT_TUNE="1750 523 1 392 1 523 1 659 1 784 1 1047 1 784 1 415 1 523 1 622 1 831 1 622 1 831 1 1046 1 1244 1 1661 1 1244 1 466 1 587 1 698 1 932 1 1195 1 1397 1 1865 1 1397 1"
Installation Instructions
Instructions adapted from http://www.iavit.org/~john/debian/grub.html:
-
Edit the file /etc/default/grub. At the end there are lines like the following:
# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
# GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
-
Replace the
# GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
line with the new GRUB_INIT_TUNE line at the top of this document (make sure to remove the "#" from the beginning of the line, as well). Save the file and exit your text editor. Open a terminal window and issue the following command:sudo update-grub
-
Reboot. You should hear the init tune when the grub menu appears.
