Hi,     I have the following default config file in /etc/default/grub, and I have issued the grub2-mkconfig command to update /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which confirms that it found the background image, and when I look at /boot/grub2/grub.cfg it contains the necessary command to load png support and contains the background-image command to load the referenced image file, but the background does not display when the grub menu does, what am I missing? I've had used the grub-customizer app, without doing any config changes, and it successfully load the image from the specifications in /etc/default/grub.

GRUB_BACKGROUND=/usr/share/sddm/themes/Galaxy-SDDM_3hu72/Galaxy-SDDM_3hu72.png

It's happened as a result of installing the rpmfusion nvidia drivers. At F36 install time I got the installer to activate 3rd party repositories, but it only activated the nvidia and steam rpmfusion repositories, so after install I activated the rpmfusion_nonfree and rpmfusion_free repositories by installing them, and then installing akmod_nvidia and kmod_nvidia packages. Given the structure of that line I'm assuming the first set of nvidia definitions were supplied at install time after the 3rd party repository activation, and the 2nd set is as a result of the install of the akmod and kmod packages, but I don't know. regards, Steve > > R, > -Joe > > > > On Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 11:44:25 PM EDT, Stephen Morris > <samorris(a)netspace.net.au&gt; wrote: > > > Hi, >     I have the following default config file in /etc/default/grub, > and I have issued the grub2-mkconfig command to update > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg which confirms that it found the background > image, and when I look at /boot/grub2/grub.cfg it contains the > necessary command to load png support and contains the > background-image command to load the referenced image file, but the > background does not display when the grub menu does, what am I > missing?
