Grub2 splash screen question.
Posted: 2011-01-13 04:08
I need to reboot my computer a couple of days ago and noticed that nice new space fun splash screen instead of my B1-B Bomber. I believe the change was made in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme. I know that recently grub2 was updated during a aptitude full-upgrade. So I'm thinking that file must have been replaced, probably with me saying yes. You know one of those ya sure go for it moments.
I did some searches and everyone is saying that is the place to make the change. This just doesn't seam right because files in /etc get changed all the time so I did some looking around and found this /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh.
My question is would this be the most correct way to change the grub splash screen than in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.
The complete change. And of course corsair.tga is a picture I found on the internet and converted using gimp.

So I changed WALLPAPER=/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-splash to /usr/share/images/grub/corsair.tga. Then did an update-grub and rebooted to see my changes. It worked.WALLPAPER=/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-splash
