If you add the line in /etc/default/grub - some distros prefer ,png over .jpg/.jpeg so I usually just use a picture in /boot/grub.

Also, you can have more than one picture in /boot/grub - it will take the first one alphabetically.

We crossed beams, Ghostbusters say that is dangerous.

But we know things, and we do stuff, and we can fix it up, no?

Tried both and unfortunately it doesn't work.
I still have a all black background with white letters.

Hi Alexzee can you give us a look at your /etc/default/grub file?
thanks

This page may also be of help.
Try adding the

Alexzee ... just checking: did you convert the Ocean.jpeg to Ocean.png using the convert command in post #37? Does the command:

identify Ocean.png

confirm that the pic is 8-bit and RGB format?

You could also try commenting out the config: GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080, in your grub file to let grub decide it's own mode. Dunno how relevant that it, but in my case, it's commented out and works.

@kc1di,

Post #45 helped!
I edited the /etc/default/grub file and got rid of the quotation marks before the forward slash before boot and after the png and updated grub.
This is what I changed it too and rebooted.

GRUB_BACKGROUND=/boot/grub/Ocean.png

I now have the picture when the Grub Menu appears!
YAY!

 

[Alexzee]

Thanks kc1di!
