No grub splash with celena / solved

[Dabbill]

Just installed, then reinstalled Celena and i get ....... Grub Loading, Please wait ..... Graphics file "/etc/grub/message.mint" missing, press a key to continue....

Any way to fix this? Would really like to see and use the new grub splash screen

I am just about to install the beta, but this sounds very much like a faulty CD unless everybody has this error

I have formated and reinstalled 4 times now, and got the same error every time, i will try to redownload and reburn tho and see if that changes any thing.

The weird thing is that the file is in the folder.

Just downloaded the ISO again, burned to a new disk. Still getting the same grub error after installing.

I can tell you as much that it is no general error. If you get this error from two separate downloaded ISO I strongly suspect hardware error (that is if you've checked the md5sum - the first thing to suspect is always (?) a bad download)

hello, new here

i can confirm the same error on a standard HP ze5600 laptop

A grub on a separate /boot partition cannot access /etc. Known bug. message.mint will be moved to /boot in the next beta.

I have moved message.mint to /boot/grub/ and changed the path in /boot/grub/menu.lst
but still getting an error:
Graphics file "/boot/grub/message.mint" missing

any ideas?

Im having the same problem, no grub splash screen. I've also tried to move the message.mint to /boot/grub/ with no success (i edited menu.lst to use the new location). Any ideas?

I tried Mint the first time a couple of days ago.. and i gotta say i love it! except for the splash thingy

EDIT: I've made a md5 check of the iso to and then verified the disc after burn. I never had the same problem, using the same partition setup, in eg. ubuntu.

In menu.lst try "/grub/message.mint" instead of "/boot/grub/message.mint".

From a / partition point of view it's in /boot/grub but your boot partition gets mounted in /boot so for this partition's point of view it should simply be /grub/message.mint...

By the way, this is not addressed in BETA 021 as there is no known way to make it work out of the box for all configurations. People with a separate /boot partition will still need to make that little tweak.

in menu.lst change /etc/grub/message.mint to /grub/message.mint

Ok, thanks! I'll try that.

EDIT: Worked like a charm! Thanks! No I don't have to "press any key to continue"

Thanks again

[Dabbill]

Thanks for the replies. Been working and havent had to check it out yet. Just edited the config file. So next time i reboot i will see if it works. Thanks again.

Thanks, that worked like a charm on mine.
