The other day I stumbled across this post about customising the GRUB bootloader to display ASCII art. Among the comments was Nx2’s tutorial on how to do this. The steps listed unfortunately don’t quite work for Fedora. Fedora uses GRUB2 instead of GRUB so update-grub
doesn’t work.
In order to get this to work on Fedora, I needed to:
- Comment out the
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
in addition to adding theGRUB_THEME
variable with a path to the theme file as Nx2 does. - Run
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
in order to update GRUB2 instead ofgrub-update
.
