Dear Tumbleweed users,

Last weekend i updated my Tumbleweed system (as i do almost every day using zypper dup).

On the next reboot i discovered that the new GRUB2-theme which i had designed just the week before was gone and had been replaced by the standard openSUSE-theme.

I ran rpmconfigcheck which showed nothing related to GRUB. So i checked /etc/default and found that there was a file grub.old and in /etc/default/grub the reference to my private GRUB2-theme had been replaced by a reference to the openSUSE-theme.

I undid that change, ran grub2-mkconfig and restarted my system. Still my GRUB2-theme did not show up.

A look in /boot/grub2/themes revealed that my GRUB2-theme was gone (deleted!).

Checking bugzilla i found this:

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191251

However up to now nobody cared about this bugreport so i decided to place this message here as a warning to all of you.

Regards

Hagen

I suspect the culprit is in this .spec file. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/branding-openSUSE/ branding-openSUSE.spec?expand=1 -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf

It seems that /usr/share/grub2/themes/openSUSE/activate-theme is responsible. -- ============================ Roger Whittaker roger@disruptive.org.uk https://notes.smuvelious.org ============================

Yes. It should not remove the whole /boot/grub2/themes, but just /boot/grub2/themes/openSUSE. More precise system "rm -rf $grub2_theme_dir/$theme"; As for replacing current theme - well, this script is called "activate-theme" and it does exactly that. Package postinstall should probably check on update what theme is currently configured. This may need additional flag to activate-theme script to distinguish between "update files" and "update files and activate".
