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
