Make sure to initialize, if not done already, GRUB graphical terminal, gfxterm, with proper video mode, gfxmode, in GRUB. In GRUB it is possible, by default, to change the look of the menu. grub-customizer - GTK customizer for GRUB or BURG.You can then chainload GRUB's core.img from GRUB Legacy or syslinux as a Linux kernel or as a multiboot kernel (see also Syslinux#Chainloading). # grub-install -target=i386-pc -grub-setup=/bin/true -debug /dev/sda
#ARCH LINUX GRUB THEME CODE#
To populate the /boot/grub directory and generate a /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img file without embedding any GRUB bootsector code in the MBR, post-MBR region, or the partition bootsector, add -grub-setup=/bin/true to grub-install: # mount /dev/sdxZ /mnt/boot #Your boot partition (if you have one). # mount /dev/sdxY /mnt #Your root partition. In order to fix this issue the following commands: Unfortunately, the grub.cfg file that is created will not contain the proper UUID in order to boot, even if it reports no errors. The immutable flag on /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img needs to be set only if GRUB is installed to a partition boot sector or a partitionless disk, not in case of installation to MBR or simple generation of core.img without embedding any bootsector (mentioned above). The workaround for this is to set the immutable flag on /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img (using chattr command as mentioned above) so that the sector locations of the core.img file in the disk is not altered. The sector locations of core.img may change whenever the file system in the partition is being altered (files copied, deleted etc.). The reason why grub-setup does not by default allow this is because in case of partition or a partitionless disk is that GRUB relies on embedded blocklists in the partition bootsector to locate the /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img file and the prefix directory /boot/grub. sbin/grub-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists Without -force you may get the below error and grub-setup will not setup its boot code in the partition boot sector: However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.

GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. sbin/grub-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible.
#ARCH LINUX GRUB THEME INSTALL#
sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition. Grub-install will give out warnings like which should give you the idea of what might go wrong with this approach: You need to use the -force option to allow usage of blocklists and should not use -grub-setup=/bin/true (which is similar to simply generating core.img). It is recommended to always use this option to remove ambiguity in grub-install.

#ARCH LINUX GRUB THEME PATCH#
Maybe to have a patch for grub-customizer add add path support for Arch is better, I will try to contact Felix Yan later. and packages in the community and extra repository such as grub-theme-vimix, breeze-grub put the theme in /usr/share/grub/themes ,see: īoth grub-theme-vimix and grub-customizer ' package maintainer is Felix Yan It seems that most of theme packages since 2017 put grub theme in /usr/share/grub/themes.
#ARCH LINUX GRUB THEME UPDATE#
Grub2-theme-archlinux put theme in /boot/grub/theme but it's last update time is 2015 and although it has name 'theme-archlinux', it' in AUR, not in community. So I asked in the forum for help and I was told that it's not recommended to put files in /boot for secure issue. I was confused about where to put when I wrote the PKGBIULD, when I try to pyt it in /boot/grub/themes, namcap warns me. Grub-customizer will read folders in /boot/grub/themes and recognize them as themes(Debian and many other distros do in this way), while ArchWiki'example put the theme folder in /usr/share/grub/themes.
