Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.04-20
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debb...@chiraag.me
Dear Maintainer,
My setup is as follows. I have 2 storage disks, one SATA HDD and one M.2 NVME
SSD. Both disks are encrypted, and the layout is as follows:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
└─sda1 8:1 0 1.8T 0 part
└─sda1_crypt 254:3 0 1.8T 0 crypt
└─Crypto--Data-Home 254:4 0 1.8T 0 lvm /home
nvme0n1 259:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 476M 0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 477M 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 464.8G 0 part
└─nvme0n1p3_crypt 254:0 0 464.8G 0 crypt
├─Crypto-Root 254:1 0 425.6G 0 lvm /
└─Crypto-Swap 254:2 0 29.8G 0 lvm [SWAP]
That is, the NVME SSD is split into 3 partitions: one for /boot/efi, one for
/boot, and one encrypted partition which provides both / and swap through LVM
partitions. The HDD is quite simple — just one giant encrypted partition with a
single LVM partition inside (mainly for consistency). That's the setup.
Okay, so here's the issue. I don't normally view the GRUB menu (I have a hidden
timeout and I normally go straight to my plymouth splash screen), but I'd like
it to look nice if I ever have to open it up. Accordingly, I set a theme by
putting GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/starfield/theme.txt" in
/etc/default/grub. I even get the appropriate output when I run sudo
update-grub (also reflected by the /boot/grub/grub.cfg attached by reportbug):
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found theme: /usr/share/grub/themes/starfield/theme.txt
Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.0-3-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-5.14.0-3-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.0-2-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-5.14.0-2-amd64
Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration
done
However, the menu still takes on the default look (blue menu, no background
image, etc). What I realized is that GRUB doesn't seem to copy the background
image into /boot/grub/, and since the disk isn't yet decrypted, it can't access
the background image at the place it's looking for it.
This feels like a bug because there is every indication (including from
update-grub2) that a theme will be used, but then the theme silently fails.
I'd be happy to answer any questions or provide further info if required.
Sincerely,
Chiraag
