Once it is after the "terminal_output gfxterm" instruction, the menu and background do not shows up.

There are no indications in the bug report that this bug was ever reported to GRUB upstream or that a Debian maintainer of GRUB ever reacted to it. I am subscribed to grub-devel mailing list and do not remember to have seen any discussion of "terminal_output gfxterm". A search for these words does not yield many new messages. One from 2018 might be related: https://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg26606.html "Instead of switching from "console" to "gfxterm", let's output to both. -terminal_output ${GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT} +terminal_output --append ${GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT} " Maybe option --append has the same beneficial effect as echo before terminal_output. But bug-grub mailing list leads to a matching bug report of 21 Mar 2024: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65503 In https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65503#comment2 Michael Goffioul reports success with echo "Loading bootloader..." terminal_output gfxterm No signs of GRUB developer attention, though. Links lead to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1110446 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1088356 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67095 So the problem seems not to have the attention of developers or maintainers but is well known among users. If i were affected then i would write short, polite mails to grub-de...@gnu.org pkg-grub-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net and ask for investigation of the mentioned respective bug reports (3 for Debian, 2 for GRUB). Have a nice day :) Thomas
