Package: grub-commonVersion: 1.98~20100101 The scripts currently included with grub-common generates the hidden-menu code in the wrong position of the grub.cfg file, thus causing incorrect behavior of grub specially when using background images (wallpapers). If the user enables GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT in /etc/deault/grub, the following code section is generated in /boot/grub.cfg: set locale_dir=/boot/grub/locale set lang=en insmod gettext if sleep --verbose --interruptible 3 ; then set timeout=3 fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### This code generated brings the following issues:1. No message to warn user how to get back to the menu, only a number countdown is shown onscreen.2. If the user press a key to show the grub menu, it again resume another counter with the same duration.3. Most important, since the code is inserted prior to the theme, the countdown is displayed on a black screen even if the user has a working wallpaper for grub. Included are 2 patches that fix the 3 issues explained. The first patch only removes the timeout code from 00_header, and the second one introduces a new 07_timeout which handles the timeout code, after the theme/color script. The only shortcoming with my patches is that the Countdown message is hardcoded in English, probably will need translations or some extra code for other locales. _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
