1] I've recently added X11 etc on top of a cli-only devuan, and I think I'm now seeing what you said CenturionDan may have reported, which is that upon a reboot of a target (not the liveCD) on which package 'desktop-base' has been installed, the grub settings are modified over those of the cli-only setup. This modification seems to have confused 'grub theming' and 'grub customization' but, Jaromil, there's no need to "drop it for a good old text terminal" if by that you mean drop the red greeter screen of the installer for a black background. 1.1] What works better for me is to tweak the file /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme: At the beginning of its execution (the code starts with several function definitions), insert: echo "set menu_color_normal=black/black" echo "set menu_color_highlight=yellow/black" if [ -f "/usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/devuan/background.png" ] ; then echo "background_image /usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/devuan/background.png" exit 0 fi 2] Devuan should have the same grub presentation regardless of whether a GUI is installed. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
