Grub2/Grub2 Themes Usage Issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I have activated the usage of the Starfield theme for grub2 in Fedora 17 and I am having issues with it.

1). Scrolling through the list of entries in the menu at boot time is horribly slow. Every time I scroll with the arrow keys the screen flashes black and it takes several seconds for the next/previous entry to be highlighted. 2). I have just upgraded from from an Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT to an Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 (this is a PCI-E 3 card plugged into a PCI-E 2 slot) and now I can see the graphics for the theme being drawn on the screen as I watch, whereas with the 9800 the screen draw was instantaneous. The issue highlighted in point 1) occurs independently of the graphics card in terms of the same thing happens with both graphics cards. 3). When I do an upgrade that upgrades the kernel the upgrade process tries to update the grub2 config and mbr but is unable to because /sbin/grubby fails with an access denied error even though I am effectively running in root mode via sudo (implemented via the wheel group). I have also tried this after switching to root mode via su but that fails with the same error. 4). Because of the error highlighted in point 3, when upgrading the kernel, I have to manual run a grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install to update grub and this process rebuilds the Starfield's Theme.txt file back to the defaults from the manual customization I have done from white/grey bold text. The black/black bold text does not work for me on the Starfield background.

My system is an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard, AMD FX 4 GHz 8 core cpu, Geforce GTX 650 2 GB graphics card, 16 GB memory, 256 GB SSD (this has Win 8 and the boot partitions for Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on it) and 2 2 TB Seagate hard disks, so from my perspective computing power is not an issue.

    What is the best way to rectify these issues?

regards,
Steve
