Grub-gfx not showing splashimage

Hi folks, i am unable to get any splashimage with grub-gfx. I recently installed this package in place of vanilla grub and made the requisite changes to the menu.lst file. grub behaves normally except, it shows no image.
here's my menu.lst file:

i even commented out the colors line to see if it makes a difference, but still no difference.

yes, i entered grub shell and issued the following commands:
grub> root (hd0,4)
grub> setup (hd0)
And grub installed successfully.
here's the output of fdisk -l, just in case
$ sudo fdisk -l

also, if it's of any use, i got an error with the grub-install method:
$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
/dev/disk/by-uuid/../../sda5 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
and hence, i used the grub shell, instead,

GRUB does not show up on screen

Hi,
I recently installed arch linux on my girlfriend's laptop, but grub doesn't show up on the display. The screen remains on bios while grub is running for its 5 second timeout. I can still choose between linux and windows so it is working properly otherwise.
Anyone have any ideas what this is about? I had grub2 working on Ubuntu properly before on the same machine.
Thanks,
df3n5

This issue came up on fedora recently - the user had to increase his grub.conf (menu.lst) timeout to 15 seconds, after which the grub menu would appear showing 7 seconds remaining before it booted the default.

[Solved] Grub not showing windows partition

Hey all,
So I tried setting up my Win7/Arch dual boot system yesterday and I think I got the partitions right (correct me if I made any mistakes), but GRUB was not showing my main windows partition. I went into the menu.lst file and uncommented what I thought was my windows partition, but turned out to be my Samsung recovery partition. After a reboot, Grub now won't even load and automatically reboots the computer on failing. I'm sure that once I can figure out how to get back into that config file from my installer CD, I will be able to re-comment that windows entry, but I still am unsure how to get it to recognize my main windows partition.
Here are the partitions:
Name Flags Part Type FS type [Label] Size
sda1 (Boot) Primary ntfs [RECOVERY] 16GB
sda2 Primary ntfs [SYSTEM] 104MB
sda3 Primary ntfs 372GB (main windows7 partition)
sda5 Logical ext2 [root] 15GB
sda6 Logical swap [swap] 4GB
sda7 (Boot) Logical ext2 [boot] 100 MB
sda8 Logical ext3 92GB (home Linux partition)
Thanks for your help

Okay so first I tried recommenting all of the windows boot information with no luck. Then I changed the windows line to "rootnoverify (hd0,1)," also with no luck. Grub still tries to load but crashes and reboots the system before presenting me with any options.
Here are the options, if this helps at all.

When I reboot, I can see the colors in menu, but not the image:
1.- Yes, the png exists
2.- image file is 1024X768, same as GRUB_GFXMODE
3.- I try commenting and uncommenting the lines GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT and GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL, and still not showing the background
any ideas, please?

[Unsolved, closed] Grub not showing other kernel (linux-lts)

Hi,
Stuck with Grub not showing other kernel, started with willing to keep two kernels.
grub config file shows both kernels correctly but still not appearing at boot (it's like pale black/blue, seems I am stuck with grub legacy? tried reinstallation etc but didn't work):

Yes, did. Same result.
Sanity Check: Is it booting from LiveUSB/CD? I would not expect HDT/Reboot or Power Off entries from a generated grub config. I would expect those entries from a LiveUSB/CD.
From system itself, but tried all options (I knew) like 1) using fallback to install LTS and run commands, 2) live-CD, 3) kernel parameter systemd.unit etc
No worries, I am giving up on issue for some time.
EDIT:
Thanks

[SOLVED] Arch not showing up in grub after ArchBang install

I have a triple booting machine with Windows7, Arch, and ArchBang. Windows 7's system partition is where I have the bootloader installed. I recently installed Archbang and now my other Arch is not showing up in grub. I tried updating the grub menu by running os-prober, installing grub to the boot partition and doing a grub-mkconfig but it will not find the other Arch on the other partition. I'm thinking maybe this is a naming issues since they have the same grub entry name? I don't know. Any thoughts?

Okay nevermind, I got it fixed. I just copied the entry from the other Arch's grub.cfg and pasted it into the new grub.cfg

Mail not showing up on lock screen

Here is my scenario.
When waking up in morning noticed that emails received during the night do not appear on lock screen. When going in to the iPhone I swiped down to see notification center and new emails were not there. However once I opened mail, and it received emails, I was then able to see them in the notification center. Should it not show the emails on the lock screen without opening mail program?
BTW, I checked settings for Mail notification center and the following options were set.
Notification Center: ON
Alert Style: Banner
Badge App Icon: ON
Show Preview: ON
View in Lock Screen: ON
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
...Bruce

@razmee: Negative. the emails are arriving, (sound plays) but no notifications are showing up.
I just fixed this: Force Mail out of memory in the app switcher. All notifications in mail now working!
I've seen mail do odd things like this before. Be sure to let John Gruber know that sometimes you DO need to do this!

[solved] grub install fails /boot/grub is not readable

virtualbox install
single partition install (well, I have two partitions, #2 is / and #1 is the BIOS partition as defined in the install docs)
when I get to the stage of installing grub, I use :
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
which fails with
Path '/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting"
it is ext4
fstab looks correct. It shows one entry for
/dev/sda1 / ext4
I am not using UUID although when I did the result was the same.
when run with debug, the problem is
/usr/bin/grub-probe -t fs /boot/grub
results in path no readable.
when I run the grub-probe inside the chroot, I get error: unknown filesystem
haven't had this before. This is the first time I've tried a GPT install.
It is virtualbox 4.2.18

Ah, my mistake was an incorrect partition table back when I partitioned the disk. I did not make a partition table for GPT partitions.

Grub GFX

Hello, I'm getting an error on compilaton of grub-gfx from AUR:
RUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
My binutils are upgraded, why is it throwing this error message? any clue? I also made a backup of /boot/grub/menu.lst and still throws an error, kinda stuck here.

I'm getting the same thing. I did read the note that said this cannot be compiled on x86_64 architecture, which I have. But I am running arch in 32 bit, so does this apply?
I haven't tried it yet, but check out the comment by Cory, he posted a 64 bit version: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2416
I'm running 32Bit, I gave up with x86_64, heh. And still the same thing.. Who knows.

Lnstalled Arch alongside windows 8.1 (uefi), grub doesn't show up

Hello people,
I've been following the Beginner's guide to install Arch on my laptop (HP) via the arch.iso on usb flash drive. I have windows 8.1 already installed and I'd like to install Arch alongside it, in uefi mode too.
I could follow most of the steps in the guide, installing arch, grub, ran pacstrap, installed lxde, gummiboot, efibootmgr, etc. But in the end when I reboot, grub doesn't show up and Windows 8.1 boots instead. I even used efibootmgr to display the order of booting (and seeing that Windows was in front of grub), changed the order of booting but to no avail; when rebooted, Windows booted up.
Some information: My efi partition was created by Windows so I used the same partition for Arch's uefi, namely /dev/sda2.
I've got a / partition at /dev/sda6 and a swap partition at /dev/sda7.
I've perfomed the commands
grub-install /dev/sda
but was told that it was wrong (on IRC) and thus I later installed it on the efi partition.
I generated grub.cfg twice:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.conf
but I was told that this was wrong and so I also did
grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/efi/grub.conf
because the efi partition was mounted at /mnt/boot/efi.
I've also created some files related to gummiboot as the Arch wiki stated to do and set Arch as default OS to boot, but that didn't seem to work.
Lastly I've also booted into the firmware and I have set to boot from usb first, then OS. (I don't see Linux/Windows choices there, only OS). And yes I disabled secure and fast boot.
P.S.:This is my first Arch installation, I come from Lubuntu/Manjaro and I bought this hardware for the purpose of learning Arch Linux (so I really, really, really want to install Arch on it).
Thanks for any help!

First, archlinux is for boot exactly the same than other linux distributions. It mount by a boot manager first (grub for exemple).
So, first of all, you absolutly need to creat a /boot partition with some required tools (have some differents) and then, mount it on /boot. This partition need to be FAT32 with around 512MB (mine is 256MB and works fine) and be gpt/UEFI and bootable. There is specific parameters to pass to the tool at format partition time (but if you followed the wiki, all of this is ok now...).
Hello Jérome,
I do have an uefi partition (FAT32) thanks to Windows. It is on /dev/sda2, so I mounted it as /mnt/boot/efi where I had mounted /mnt as root.
JeromeDGDG wrote:
Then...
you have to see the /boot partition you created on your BIOS. The bios, is the first thinks the computer run at boot time (before everythings). Then go inside your bios and check options around boot and see boot list (sometimes, when change config, you have to reboot again the bios for see the changes on boot list appears). Then on your boot list from BIOS, you have to see your grub /boot partition (mine is named égrub_archlinux" viewed by the boot list of my bios) and make it boot first (or just after usb and cdrom if you prefer...). If not, this grub will never been mounted and windows will start first.
Also, if you are confused with command tools on linux systems and you not sure your partition boot is not well created, you can easily used gparted gui tools (do a bootable cdrom and use it for partitions or check...).
In the BIOS I don't see anything related to grub nor Arch. However in the uefi settings, I do. To access these settings is tedious, I need to boot Windows, click on reboot while maintaining the Shift key, selecting "troubleshooting", go to uefi settings, reboot and then press F9 to enter there. There I can see grub, Arch and Windows and I can enter in Arch from there. So I don't need the arch.iso flash drive anymore, I prefer to boot from my hard disk.

That doesn't make much sense -- you say you have "installed gummiboot" but also that "Windows was in front of grub [sic]" in your NVRAM entries -- which did you install, GRUB or gummiboot?
Also, installing a desktop environment (LXDE) is mentioned nowhere in the Beginner's Guide.
I installed both Grub and gummiboot (in that order). Yeah I installed LXDE because I thought everything went fine (grub recognized Arch when it generated the .cfg file), I only saw the problems when I rebooted: grub doesn't show up.
head_on_a_stick wrote:
The actual command you should use is:
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=$esp --bootloader-id=grub --recheck
I did that command too, where I took care to replace $esp by /mnt/boot/efi if I remember well. The command worked.
head_on_a_stick wrote:
Again, the command should be:
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
As stated in the ArchWiki page I have linked above.
Make sure you have mounted all your partitions and used `arch-chroot` before running these commands.
I did that command, it generated files and recognized 3 images (linux, initramfs and another thing I don't remember). Again, if I remember well.

Please post the content of /boot/loader/loader.conf & /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf (if that is what you've called it) and the output of:

Again, run all these commands after you have mounted all your partitions and used `arch-chroot` from the live Arch ISO.
You can use sprunge to generate a link to their pastebin for the command output:
<command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients
Unfortunately I'm having a very hard time to make the curl command work, I think that it's due to my keyboard layout and I can't seem to write the correct apostrophes (mines seem curvy) nor the correct " sign. Here's the error that I get (manually copied):
returned Warning: Illegally formatted input field!
curl: option -F: is badly used here.
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
. I've been seeking help for around 20 minutes on #archlinux (IRC) to no avail thus far.
So I entered some of the commands you mentionned and I took some photos of them. See the 5 photos at https://imgur.com/QN8FBZ1,RLbSe2u,73o1w … ,aBTxNNF#0
Of course it would be much better if I could find a way to make the curl command work.

Played a little bit around- wallpapers, grub-gfx- and gensplash-theme

Hi!
I played a little bit around with the "arch-default-background.svg" from the KDE-package. You can see what I made here: http://home.arcor.de/chaos-keeper/lightblue/.
As you can see, I made a gensplash-theme, a grub-gfx-theme and some wallpapers. For the both themes I just varied the "archlinux"-letters a little bit. For the wallpapers there are also versions with numbers (from 1-10) in the left corner. The idea behind this is that you can give your viewports the same wallpaper but can differ them anyway because of the numbers. If you have more than 10 viewports, I put a svg-file with the numbers on my webspace so you can create your own wallpaper from 11-X.
So how do you like my work? Any comments? If you have any improvement, post it (e.g. if you have nicer numbers, I wrote them with my mouse, not a pen, so I don't like the numbers 1, 5-0 that much)!

yeah, that's right.
P.S.: I know, there is no big difference to the normal version of the wallpaper, only the archlinux-writing and the numbers. But the numbers ARE in fact the only thing I did miss at this wallpaper so they are in fact the only but the main feature of my slightly different wallpaper-version. As I also like the writing a little bit more this way, I also published the other pictures/the themes. So please do me a favor and give me a feedback (especially how you like the numbers!)!

ITunes does not show up on apple tv 1st gen.

i have a 1st gen apple tv with the 160 gig HD. recently, it will not show the itunes site. Under teh movies tab there are my movies and trailers and that's it. Does anyone know how to get the itunes store back on apple tv?

Known issue currently, you'll need to wait for the fix.

My downloaded text sounds do not show up under the sounds tab in settings after installing 8.1.1. can someone help me please?

i downloaded a couple text tones and since installing 8.1.1, they will not show up under the sounds tab. in fact, they do not show up in my recent purchases on itunes, but when i go to buy them again, it says that i have already bought this tone. I just want to use the tones i paid for as the tones on my phone. not asking much.... thanks for the help. i hope someone can help me get the tones working. thank you.

This was happening to me too but only for some of my songs. I have a mac so I dunno about PCs, but for most of my ringtones I had to create an ACC version in itunes to make them short enough then turn that into a m4r and those all worked fine. But if the song was already short enough and I didn't create an ACC version and just turned the original into a m4r, then it wouldn't appear in my itunes.
so if you're on a mac:
1. go to get info, options, pick when you want the song to start and end.
     Has to be pretty short to work, 30 second or less is good
     if it's already short enough that's fine
2. right click and click 'create ACC version'
     a copy with the length you put in will appear, drag that into a folder or whatever and just type in m4r where m4a would be
     still make an ACC version even if it's the right length
Hopefully this helps someone else.

Internet Streams in Playlists do not show up on Apple TV

I use the following setup:
- Apple TV MD199LL/A (Software 6.0.1) just updated to the latest
- iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (from a Windows 7 x64)
- iTunes 11.1.3 for MAC (from a Apple MacBook Pro x64, Maverix)
Homesharing is turned on both computers
From both machines I share pictures, videos and music.
All photos, videos and music files are getting displayed on the Apple TV menu, and can be played.
All iTunes playlists from both machines are getting displazed on the Apple TV
BUT!
If a internet stream is added to a playlist, this entry does not show on the Apple TV menu.
If the playlist contains only internet streams the Apple TV menu says "There are no songs in this library"
If I hit the play key on my remote, it will randomly play the first stream in the playlist (not realy reproducable pattern)
I can play those streams in iTunes and send it via AirPlay without problems,
Can anyone help me with this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you

You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing
