Grub Customizer

appearance changes show in customizer but NOT in boot up screen

Asked by dduran1210

grub shows this after I went through customizer:

Generating grub.cfg ...
using custom appearance settings

Found background image: /home/dave/Downloads/new pics/Fantasy_by_SnowSkadi.png

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic

Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
  No volume groups found
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Zorin OS 8 (8) on /dev/sda5
done

should I delete these two lines? :

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic

Think I read here somewhere that these were NOT supposed to show and was a bug?

thank you for your help. I have been at this for two days now.

Dave

The grub scripts aren't processing spaces correctly. You have to rename the directory name from "new pics" to "new_pics".

This is not a problem of grub customizer - the path is written to config correctly. The problem also isn't grub itself. It's the 05_debian_theme which is developed by the debian developers. It finds the image but doesn't write it to grub.cfg correctly.

Hello, thank you very much Daniel Richter, I had the same problem with grub customizer on linux mint 17, your solution was the best and the easier, only one space erased and all works fine. Greetings from Mexico.
