Installing a background image on the Ubuntu 9.10 boot menu
As you know, in 9.10 the second version of the Grub loader is used, more functional and modern. In Ubuntu, unlike other user-friendly distributions (openSUSE, Mandriva, Fedora, etc.), the Grub menu has never had a background image. At 9.10 with the new bootloader this has not changed. But if earlier the installation of a picture was by no means a trivial task, then in Grub 2 it would be easy to do this:
1) Take any picture we like, no less than 1024 × 768 in size and open it in the GIMP editor (it is preinstalled in the system, therefore we consider it). Reduce the size of the image to 1024 × 768: Image - Scale Image - enter 1024 (the width should fill automatically if it is not equal to 768, click on the icon that looks like a paper clip and enter it manually) - Scale. We save it in the home directory as moreblue-orbit-grub.tga (it is under this name, the TGA format).
2) Transfer it from the home directory to the directory with the Grub files:
sudo mv moreblue-orbit-grub.tga / boot / grub (type in terminal).
3) Edit the Grub user configuration file ( / etc / default / grub , with root permissions), and set the parameter GRUB_GFXMODE = 1024 × 768 .
4) Run the Grub configuration update script: sudo update-grub2
Now, when choosing an OS (if it is one, then there is no point in doing all the above operations at all), a beautiful and pleasing eye background image will be displayed.
