Bug#613724: grub2-splashimages: README documentation may be outdated a bit

Package: grub2-splashimages
Version: 1.0.1
Severity: minor


Hello,

first of all, thanks for maintaining the package :)

But I found a little problem which mislead me when setting up
a different splash screen image for grub.

In the package README file it says:


1. How to change default GRUB2 splashimage?

 Change a line like

 WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/..."
 to
 WALLPAPER="/boot/grub/splashimages/some_file.tga"
 in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme and run update-grub.


But there is no definition of WALLPAPER in that script. Setting it manually
didn't have the desired effect either.

$ grep WALLPAPER /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme 
set_background_image "${WALLPAPER}" "${COLOR_NORMAL}" "${COLOR_HIGHLIGHT}" ||

Instead I found WALLPAPER in /usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh,
changing it was a success.


Thanks and regards,

Benjamin Peter
