Grub Customizer

How-to restore the old grub settings?

Asked by Kepos

Hi,

just encountered Grub Customizer on my Manjaro Budgie in dual-boot with several other Linux testing installations. All things worked fine, until I changed toward my very own background graphics. I do not know which size this has to be, but I do get black screen, before the usual picked Manjaro starts. I tried to change it back toward an installed theme, but no change so far. I do not see the grub menu while starting.

Then I tried to re-install Manjaro, while keeping my seperate /home directory, but unfortunately it restored the grub theme.

Is there a way to restore the distribution default grub settings without Grub Customizer stuff to get a plain start?

See, I'm not sure which grub lines I could change or delete without compromising the whole system. Preferred would be a 'restore old settings' button in Grub Customizer, which I obviously had not found yet.

Thank you!

There's a backup at /etc/grub.d/backup which is created on first use.

Also Grub Customizer creates the file /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh when setting a background image.

don't forget to run `update-grub` after changing these files.

However you can unset the image using grub customizer as well. Wondering what's the problem.

Sorry, seems launchpad isn't providing email notification for answers. Have to check manually.

Well, I found the backup files. Does unsetting the image revert to that old grub (before using Grub Customizer)? I tried to change that image already and it simply shows the same entries just with generic background for grub on start. What I liked to achieve was to revert the grub to system based installation before Grub Customizer changed it.

Can you help with this problem?
