[solved] Grub2 configure graphical Splashimage

[FOSS-15-Great]

I am following the Debian Wiki trying to get a Grub2 Background image to work (Buster) but Grub2 is not showing the background image. Other settings change over fine (i.e. time out) so I am wondering if the image does not display because my root partition is LUKS encrypted (presumably it needs to be unlocked before Grub2 can load the background image)?

I am grateful for any ideas!

Looking at what the wiki says only,

Code: Select all

configure/add the GRUB_BACKGROUND variable in /etc/default/grub. Ex: GRUB_BACKGROUND="/usr/share/images/grub/Lake_mapourika_NZ.tga" 

This should be the path to the image, in /usr/share/images/grub/, and so I am confused by what you mean :

so I am wondering if the image does not display because my root partition

The wiki does not say to put it in a root partition, nor the root directory,.. Maybe show us your partitioning scheme, and /or also , the exact path to where you have put this. On my system I do not have a root partition, only the root directory,.. I do not use this " LUKS encrypted"

my root partition is LUKS encrypted (presumably it needs to be unlocked before Grub2 can load the background image)?

But why do you not try unlocking it and see if it works then ?
Also did you do this ?

make sure that GRUB_TERMINAL=console is commented out.The graphical mode will not be enabled if this is uncommented. By default it's commented, so you shouldn't worry too much.

What version of Debian are you using ?

Based on that thread, sounds like it should work if it is de-crypted (unlocked) . Good job CwF .
