Public bug reported: When booting, grub shows a garbled screen. It still boots into Ubuntu, and the menu can be manipulated blindly.
Upon further investigation, /boot/grub/menu.lst contains a reference to /boot/grub/default-splash.xpm.gz, which is a symlink to a file that does not exist (/usr/share/pixmaps/grub/ubuntu-artwork.xpm.gz) Grub was working as expected before I upgraded from Dapper -> Edgy. I suspect that the ubuntu-artwork.xpm.gz file was lost in the upgrade, or is provided by a different package that grub does not seem to depend upon. Alternatively, the upgrade of grub did not reinstall the menu.lst file with an updated splashscreen file location. ** Affects: grub (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- On boot, grub shows a garbled screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/66324 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
