Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
After setting a grub2 background in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme by setting the
use_bg=true, and setting the image name, running update-grub2 sets the
background, at next reboot it is displayed. If i set a non-existent image file
name, update-grub2 throws an interesting error message "Generating grub.cfg ...
No path or device is specified.
Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.
No path or device is specified.
Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information." This message is not very
friendly, and gives no meaningful information.
The other, and more serious problem is that after setting the use_bg to false
with an existent and working background image, update-grub2 and restart, the
image is still shown. The only way to set grub2 back to console-only mode is to
set use_bg to false, and the imagename to a non-existent image filename. This
way after update-grub2 and restart, I get the console grub2 menu again.
