Way Too Much Ubuntu
The only issue I encountered was that for some reason the upgrade borked keyboard and mouse capability in GRUB.
I was able to re-enable through the BIOS in the Integrated Peripherals table, in the USB menu - weird!
I will fiddle with my text colour though as when not highlighted (cyan) it's white & hard to see.
First world problems!
BTW - what’s the best way to screenshot the GRUB screen?

I take a picture with my phone's camera and upload it to my pc via wifi.Originally Posted by von Stalhein

That way you can edit or delete pictures if you're logged in.
I upload them there and it gives you the forum code for posting in this forum.
Grub first looks for the 1st picture it finds in /boot/grub/ then it will find your colors in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme after line 122.
If there is no picture it will not use those colors you have setup. And not all pictures work, sometimes I've had to try more than one, but rarely.

Cheers for that - I'll fiddle with the text. Thanks for the image hosting link, I'll give it a go - will probably use the phone as I don't have a wifi card in the Canon - yet
GRUB finds the pic so nothing is wrong there AFAIK.

GRUB finds the pic so nothing is wrong there AFAIK.I was going to ask you if you ever got it fixed and looking good.
Let me know if you need anything or when you get it done.

I seriously cannot understand why anyone would use the default grub.
I added another install of Xubuntu 16.04 just for the halibutand everytime it adds a kernel through updates, I wait about 2-3 minutes on it updating grub (default).
It does this twice every time a new kernel is added.
The long wait occurs after it finds the kernels (/etc/grub.d/10_linux) and before the other OSs are updated (/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober)
I have to customize this thing because once done it goes through an update-grub in about 2 seconds.
Lets see 2-3 minutes or 2 seconds; I'll take 2 seconds.
Cheers

I'm finding that PNG pictures work a lot better than JPG pictures. I tried to grow a JPG picture in pixel size with GIMP and while it listed the pic in the output of update-grub, it would not show at boot.
So, I got frustrated, did some research and seen where someone had posted that PNG pictures work better with Grub in Arch.
So, I took that same picture in GIMP and exported it as a PNG file and viola it worked like it should have.
It has to work better in any distro...

Forgot to mention that nano is probably the best editor as you can just enter sudo nano /etc/default/grub etc.
Cntl+Shift+V will paste whatever is on your clipboard just like it does in terminal.
You can copy stuff from gedit, mousepad or whatever text editor you use and paste it into the file.
But, gksudo gedit file or gksudo mousepad file, etc. works too. Whatever floats your boat.

Nice! I see you have XP still. I was using Vista and hated it.Not a lot going on here Cavsfan
Then I got in on testing Windows 7 and my son showed me where I could get a full install ISO for cheap.
Which I installed and then in the last 6 months he showed me that I could upgrade to Windows 10 for free.
I could live without windows easily but, I like to keep up with it so I can help a family member or a friend.
Plus my wife uses it at work.
Looking good though and thanks for posting a screenshot!
