gfxmenu has been merged into upstreams' experimental branch and is avaible in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~fzielcke/+archive/grub-ppa/ Maybe this bug and #385714 should be merged if you want to solve both problems with a gfxmenu theme? -- Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't think gfxmenu is likely to land for Karmic; even if it did I doubt we would have time to do a good job of the configuration.

As far as I understand, Colin Bennet's gfxmenu code (http://grub.gibibit.com/) will be merged upstream quite soon. If Ubuntu pulls grub from upstream after that commit, this bug would have a somewhat easy solution. -- Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Attaching screenshot of the latest release... Grub not yet themed, Though this is not a papercut per-se , theming the grub would bring about a clean look.

[Bug 391774] Re: Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant
As much as every improvement is most welcome, this is definitely outside of scope for the papercut project – grub menu in Karmic will not be visible, unless specifically requested by the user, therefore it's not going to be part of a typical, default Ubuntu experience. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 391774] Re: Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant
Ubuntu 9.10 might hide the grub menu by default, which means this wouldn't be a 'paper cut'. A 'paper cut' is a minor usability issue likely to be encountered by an average user the first day using vanilla Ubuntu 9.10. Leaving this as Incomplete until it is confirmed that grub won't be seen in Karmic.

It might be hidden when you install Ubuntu as the only OS (has this been decided yet?), but it will still be shown to everyone who installs Ubuntu besides Windows or another operating system, which includes many many people.

[Bug 391774] Re: Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant
This is certainly a valid bug on grub2 in Ubuntu - the menu will still be shown in some circumstances (even if it's only by way of the user asking for it), and almost no effort has been put into polishing it yet because it's just very new. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged -- Simple changes to make the grub menu look more elegant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
