If you are a Fedora user you might have experienced that the nice and cool graphical grub menu we had in Fedora 18 is missing in Fedora 19. Wanna get it back? OK. Follow these steps as root user. Check if the /boot/brug2/themes/system/theme.txt is available. If not issue the following command yum install grub2-starfield-theme Open /etc/defaults/grub Add/Change the value of GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT to "gfxterm" Add/Change the value of GRUB_THEME to "/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt" So the final out put would be something like this. Note the highlighted lines. GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 vconsole.keymap=us $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lv
