[Bug 51866] Re: GRUB splash images do not work.
I have fixed this issue with the help of drs305 from ubuntu forums. It seems that somewhere along the way, when /boot/grub/grub.cfg was altered to the 'new' format where one only has to add a line to "WALLPAPER=...", the file somehow corrupted and half of it was missing and it looked as though the /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme section of /boot/grub/grub.cfg was a mix of the original file and the 'new' file syntax. Essentially had no choice but to get a copy of drs305 /boot/grub/grub.cfg and then add/edit the image I wanted. It now works fine. I am not a programmer, but there seems to be a corruption of /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme section between the 'old' and 'new' voodoo code pertaining to that part of /boot/grub/grub.cfg. From memory, when the original grub upgrade was introduced I chose to keep current format (or whatever the exact text is), this is when this problem/corruption occurred as the splash-image had worked fine until that point. Since fixing it with a copy of a 'good' /boot/grub/grub.cfg (from drs305) I have since chosen to use the 'maintainers version' and everything has worked correctly. Not sure if the above is relevant, but that is the series of events that occurred in my case, when the grub splash-image not loading arose. -- GRUB splash images do not work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 51866] Re: GRUB splash images do not work.
In Kubuntu Karmic-testing i686 I do not have a file named menu.lst I do have a pile of menu.list.new.* files. I do not have a splash.xpm.gz file in /boot/grub but I do have a directory /boot/grub/splashimages. But that file is not there either, although there are about 10 files to do with splashimages relating to KDE. I'd like to see this one fixed. Thanks!

I did some further testing and update-grub seems the culprit. It looks for a splashimage in /boot/grub, which needs to be named splash.xpm.gz. Although it writes it to menu.lst it does this in the wrong format so the image is not shown. Entry in menu.lst after running KDEGrubEditor: splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz Entry in menu.lst after running update-grub: splashimage=c5c42e26-e84a-4c1e-88b9-144ef7043362/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz After manually editing the update-grub entry to splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz the image is shown. So nothing wrong with the package grub-images, so changed package to grub. ** Changed in: grub (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: grub-splashimages => grub -- GRUB splash images do not work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
