Package: grub-common Version: 2.04-5 Severity: minor Researching why gfx didn't work in grub for me on this system, I discovered that 05_debian_theme blocks the use of grub's native theming, including grub-theme-starfield. The suggestion I've found elsewhere is to chmod -x /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme so it doesn't do that. This seems like a poor solution.
You could check for $GRUB_THEME to be set and bail early if it is, I suppose, but there's no guarantee that $GRUB_THEME was able to be used other than to repeat these tests currently around line 278 of 00_header: if [ "x$GRUB_THEME" != x ] && [ -f "$GRUB_THEME" ] \ && is_path_readable_by_grub "$GRUB_THEME"; then If you bail on the Debian theme if $GRUB_THEME is set under those conditions, it would be as robust as 00_header is. Checking that and adding options to override the colors as requested in #714414 would make the cosmetics pretty configurable without altering package-installed files. (As for my own config and why it didn't work? LUKS2, which is obvious once I thought about it. I'd file a bug about it, if I had a brilliant suggestion for a solution, other than maybe to make a note in some README file I probably wouldn't have looked at before I got this far into it anyway.) -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/chiyo--vg-root / ext4 rw,relatime,discard,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/nvme0n1p2 /boot ext4 rw,relatime,discard 0 0 /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/mapper/sdb1_crypt /srv ext4 rw,relatime,discard 0 0 /dev/fuse /run/user/1000/doc fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];
