I am unable to set a background image, for the Grub bootloader.
Please note that my system boots of an encrypted LVM and the /boot
partition is there on a separate unencrypted partition. And I am running on
EFI.
What I have tried so far-:
I tried manually adding the following line to grub.cfg located in the /boot
partition.
GRUB_BACKGROUND="../IMAGE.JPG"
this did not make any difference.
Second, I have tried copying /usr/share/grub/default/grub
to /*etc/default* and then added
GRUB_BACKGROUND="IMAGE.JPG"
and tried running update-grub but the generated grub.cfg in my /boot
partition did not contain the above attribute. Also I am not sure if this
would work since the image is in an encrypted partition and will not be
available during the boot.
What I want is to manually edit grub.cfg and place the attribute for the
background image.
My question is that should it be
GRUB_BACKGROUND="../IMAGE.JPG"
with quotes or without quotes ? Are relative paths supported ?
Also should "set" be added before the attribute ?
like
set GRUB_BACKGROUND="../IMAGE.JPG" ?

Sreyan
