[Bug 1404006] Re: grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate partially obscured submenus

[nadrimajstor]

Thank you for looking at this issue.
I did have various issues with themeing grub's terminal. Being unsure am I 
brawling own inexperience or actual bugs I've opted for (in my mind) less 
damaging do-not-theme-terminal let-the-grub-apply-defaults.

Package installer should consider /etc to be the place where admin/user puts 
own final overrides, hence my dislike of "vendor" provided GRUB_THEME in 
/etc/default/grub.
On the other side, where should "vendor" put his default grub theme? Guided by 
example from /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.grub it ended up 
being one of the plymouth's alternatives conf.
I do agree that changing grub's theme as a responsibility should not belong to 
packages outside of grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate.

Is there something like /lib/grub/default?

[Bug 1404006] Re: grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate partially obscured submenus

[Christopher Chavez]

Using the default configuration, as of grub2 2.02~beta2-36 the edit
dialog seems to no longer be obscured as in the screenshot I had
uploaded in 2014: it is drawn over only a centered portion of the screen
(see new screenshot "unobscured edit dialog").

However, I've also found that if the GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes
/ubuntu-mate/theme.txt" parameter is specified in /etc/default/grub,
then update-grub reports "Found theme: /boot/grub/themes/ubuntu-
mate/theme.txt", and the submenus use graphical rather than console
appearance, and are not obscured (see new screenshot "graphical
submenu").

I'm guessing the GRUB_THEME approach for setting the theme is what grub
recommends, and that the current method used (file
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-mate-logo/ubuntu-mate-logo.grub from
package plymouth-theme-ubuntu-mate-logo) is somehow insufficient, since
each approach seems to have a different effect on how grub.cfg is
generated.

So while there may be an issue in how grub is being configured to use
the theme (whether from the right package or using the right
configuration parameters), there might still be an inconsistency in how
grub itself mixes graphical and console interfaces, or fails to detect
improper theme configuration and fallback to providing a safe workaround
for the user.

Apologies. Mea culpa - I'm afraid I'm rather new to bug reports. I will

[Christopher Chavez]

Marc, I think the issue you're describing might be bug 1569563 or
1560332, but it's not the one here. The issue here is regarding the
grub2 boot menu theme, not mate-menu or anything else in the MATE
desktop environment itself.

[Marc]

I can reproduce this in the current Mate. I can get the normal Mate menu
to the pop in front of the other windows but the "advanced" Mate menu
stays behind other windows when invoked. It is possible to raise it into
view by clicking the panel itself and then clicking advanced menu again.

The default Mate menu is not affected.

For what it's worth,  ubuntu-mate grub2's theme does not try to style
terminal and fonts (being the only thing that I see as different from
upstream provided example `starfield`).

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

It's probably an issue with the theme itself rather than grub. Setting
the grub task Incomplete; please set it back to New once there is
evidence it's something to fix in grub.

Thanks!

I cannot reproduce the issue for grub2-2.02~beta2-18. For the default
config file, the default boot behavior seems different: there is a
visible 10 second timeout, rather than immediate boot. update-grub also
no longer warns Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.

[Bug 1404006] Re: grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate partially obscured submenus

[nadrimajstor]

While I was making the grub theme I did notice this odd bug.
However, I couldn't find a path to repeat it every time and I experienced it 
rarely (hence I did not fill the bug report as I wasn't sure where to point the 
finger). To make situation even worse, as a theme provider I have zero 
influence on GRUB's rendering and the debugging utilities were, lets just say, 
designer unfriendly.
