[Solved] Remove back ground from GRUB2

I really dislike a slash screen or background image at GRUB2. Looking at the current /etc/default/grub, I edit it as follows:

#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

Yet, GRUB still shows the Bunsenlabs background - it makes the words hard to read. Just need a plain black background.

How can this image be removed or prohibited?

Thank you for your time!

Path of least resistance... don't remove, replace.

Download a black-ish wallpaper, I used this one...

https://www.deviantart.com/nixiepro/art … -597929912

As root, move the (png, to make things easier, RGB non-indexed) image to /boot/grub

Then run...

sudo update-grub

Reboot.

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

there should be another line in there, saying

GRUB_BACKGROUND=...

that's the one you need to comment out.
also you need to

# update-grub

afterwards!

For the most part, the second link worked (1st was a bad URL). "For the most part" means I now have a simple solid blue color for the option menu and that meets my need. No Bunsenlabs image as the 2nd link provided, but it's a NICE simple blue. That works for me! Thank you !!

Thank you. That was not a default option.
