I am sorry if i am not suppose to use this thread as support but i don’t know where else i can go.
This is my out put when I run the sudo update-grub
I don't see any error messageCode:Generating grub.cfg ... Found theme: /boot/grub/themes/ubuntu/theme.txt Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-11-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin Found Windows NT/2000/XP on /dev/sda1 done
Thanks
That was the line I was referring to. Grub 2 is finding your theme so that is not the problem.
As far as the support question, generally we prefer users start their own threads. Since I'm a moderator, if you wish I can move our posts to a new thread with a title such as "Grub 2 Won't Use My Theme" or something like that. Having your own thread will ensure the advice is specific to your situation and may be read more often than posts in this thread.
Mod Note: New thread created.

As stated in the guide, if the gfxmenu theming engine does not find even one element of your theme or if there is some mistake in your theme definition file, it will display the text screen
Can you post the contents of your theme.txt file?
The Definitive Guide to Theming GRUB2 is here.
Here is my theme.txt
