Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/customboot.mp4 customboot

Then I changed the default.conf (under /etc/hildon-welcome.d/) to

Code:

[hildon-welcome]
filename=customboot

After all this the boot video doesn't load at device startup. FYI it was loading fine when it was directly in the /usr/share/hildon-welcome/media/ directory, so it's not the video.
I'm still trying to learn linux and this is my first time with the ln command. I'm probably missing something.

Any help?
