I've copied a fresh /etc/grub.d/00_header file here:

Don't forget to make it executable:
Code:sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/00_header

Ok.. all grub customization problems are now solved..!! thanks a lot drs305.. you have been most helpful..!!
Here's how it happened:
Yesterday evening, I switched on my system, expecting a cute & cuddly Koala on my desktop, but you know what I find ?
Just after the grub menu & the ubuntu logo, instead of my Xsplash, all there was a blinking cursor...
ctrl+alt+del immediately restarted before I could write init3,
rebooting into recovery mode failed..
I then did a fresh install.. and tweaked the grub as per the instructions on the first page, and everything worked fine.
Last time, I had used startup manager (SUM) to change the resolution initially, which changed a line in my /etc/default/grub file (post#17, page2):
from
toCode:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Now, when I edit /etc/default/grub without any previous SUM interventions, I am successfully able to change grub menu resolution without the need to edit the header..!!Code:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" splash vga=773"
p.s. Any idea about that blinking cursor issue? Was that a failure to load X ? Did it involve my editing the header?

I just posted this:

Shouldn't the installer ASK me where I want to install Grub, as it always has (or recently, anyway)? I mean, to just assume that of course EVERYONE who's installing 9.10 (server edition, at least) will want to overwrite their MBR... that's kind of wrong-headed.
Is there no way, in the 9.10 server edition installer itself, to tell it "install Grub to partition X"?

Hi
I'm puzzled about installing new splash images. Any help would be fantastic.
1. I have download the new images
2. I have edited 05_Debian_Theme to point at the image.
eg. for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub}/Sparkler.{png,tga} ; do
3. I have run sudo update-grub
4. It says Found debian background Sparkler.tga
but on boot I get the monochrome small ubuntu logo splash rather than the new image - I have tried a few images - also altered the permissions of the image to make it executable or not - but none of these things made a difference -
Its probably something obvious but an hour of fiddling hasnt solved it - any ideas?
