I think, grub2 looks in the wrong directory (system and starfield exchanged?)

ls -l /boot/grub2/themes/*

Comment 2 Joachim Backes 2013-06-17 09:26:52 UTC

By rerunning grub2-mkconfig I got rid of the messages

/boot/grub2/themes/system/DejeVuSans-10.pf2 not found
/boot/grub2/themes/system/DejeVuSans-12.pf2 not found
/boot/grub2/themes/system/DejeVuSans-Bold-14pf2 not found
/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt not found

But still I have no star bootscreen, even after installing
grub2-starfield-theme.

Comment 3 Pavel Roskin 2013-07-06 03:59:03 UTC

grub2 complains about files that are part of the grub2-starfield-theme package.  No idea why.  Please check /etc/default/grub and comment out GRUB_THEME.

/boot/grub2/themes/starfield must be a leftover from an earlier installation.  grub2-starfield-theme-2.00-23.fc19.x86_64 installs files into /boot/grub2/themes/system.

The starfield theme is incomplete.  /boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt refers to a file fireworks.png that is not included.

Comment 4 Pavel Roskin 2013-07-06 04:13:22 UTC

It turns out /boot/grub2/themes/starfield is created when grub.cfg is regenerated:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

/boot/grub2/themes/starfield/theme.txt refers to starfield.png that is present.  So you just need to add this to /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub2/themes/starfield/theme.txt

Then regenerate grub.cfg and you should have the graphical theme on reboot.

Comment 5 Joachim Backes 2013-07-06 10:45:10 UTC

OK! Works for me with this info!
