Hi all, I am currently triple booting Windows 7, MAC OSX SL, and Ubuntu 10.04 on 3 partitions.

After much haggling, i think this is how my triple boot works

Installed OSX first, then WIndows 7
Boot into windows 7 installed EasyBCD
added entries for OSX
Can boot into OSX and Windows 7
Installed Ubuntu
Installed Grub on Ubuntu partition
added entry for Ubuntu in easyBCD

all works now
except I hate the bootloader black screen white text
then when I select Ubuntu, it goes to the grub bootloader another ugly screen which also lists all the boots.

I am hoping to have something a little more refined. something like this: http://ubuntuguide.net/add-os-logos-int … using-burg

Question is, how can I go about this without a complete reinstall of my 3 OS

[...] A Note About Grub 2 Theming Theming is still under development in Grub 2. There are several different approaches being taken and users of Lucid have had success incorporating theming into their bootlaoder menus. For those interested in trying out the experimental theming possibilities, here are some references: GRUB2 theming for lucid? This thread has an excellent discussion about the state of theming in in bootloaders, as well as instructions on how to set it up as you get further into the thread. Both BURG and Grub 2 experimental are discussed. Grub 2 Experimental: http://grub.gibibit.com/ One method of introducing theming, when combined with this Launcpad PPA for Grub 2 experimental, Felix Zielcke’s PPA BURG: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg [...]

follow the directions again.
somewhere youve only copied half of the path that is needed to find the theme configs.

most likely your 40_custom file is borked.

code:

sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

then replace
/sora/theme.cfg
with
/boot/grub/themes/sora/theme.cfg

save it and run
update-grub

then you should b ok

The installation steps have changed. It’s much simpler now, you don’t need to modify 40_custom.
