I set the grubterminal to gfxterm which does slow down the response a lot especially when GFXMODE is set to very high resolution.
We are not only limited to themes Plymouth provided, I can install a custom theme. The problem is that the default grubterminal is console which doesn’t respond to GRUBFONT, probably it requires a different kernel argument to change the font. Selecting a default theme from the list of available theme above $ sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R glow To view installed themes, type: $ sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -l On installing, I installed plymouth-themes package, this installs some default Plymouth themes. Search for this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"įinally, update my grub configuration $ sudo update-grub2 Themes I am going to find the line #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 in /etc/default/grub, uncomment the line and add in my resolution. I can fetch our screen resolution by typing: $ xdpyinfo | grep dimensions dimensions: 1366x768 pixels (361x203 millimeters) Choose a bootloader identifier, here named GRUB. Then follow the below steps to install GRUB to your disk: Mount the EFI system partition and in the remainder of this section, substitute esp with its mount point. Run pacman -Ql grub grep pf2 to get the file paths. First, install the packages grub and efibootmgr: GRUB is the bootloader while efibootmgr is used by the GRUB installation script to write boot entries to NVRAM. tar.gz.Install using the grub-customizer. The unifont font is included in the grub package under the filename unicode.pf2, or, as only ASCII characters under the name ascii.pf2. The GRUB2 bootloader theme supports all used Linux the archive and repack it to.
I have to tell grub our default screen resolution, on booting, modules and drivers are not loaded yet. GRUB comes with support for background images and bitmap fonts in pf2 format. My default bootloader is grub2, I am going to edit /etc/default/grub Lets move to our bootloader with is GRUB2 Bootloader I am done with configuring modesetting for our graphic card. Nouveau modeset=1 For ATI Graphic Cards # KMS I915 modeset=1 For Nouveau (nVidia) Graphic Cards # KMS I need to add modesetting for your graphics card by editing /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add these lines For Intel Graphic Cards # KMS Plymouth is available on the default Debian Repository, install using APT $ sudo apt install plymouth plymouth-themes Configuration Graphics Card It is designed to be used with the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) modesetting drivers. Plymouth presents a graphic animation (also known as bootsplash) while the boot process is occurring in the background. I know I run a server-like distribution, but I like using it as a Desktop PC, Linux is Linux right? ? And there comes Plymouth By default Debian Distribution doesn’t come with a boot screen, but just bunch of debug messages on booting.
