Keep getting error message when saving

Asked by Ace

Every time I try to save a background image, I keep getting the message below. I also did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit, and still getting the same message. I am able to set background images on my other computers. What could be causing this error?

failed running 'grub-mkconfig -o "/boot/grub/grub.cfg"' output:

The image name is the problem!

While Grub Customizer saves the image path correctly, the grub scripts (shipped by debian and ubuntu) are doing it wrong.

You have to remove spaces and the "&" from file name.

Can you help with this problem?
