How to use it correctly? #225

Closed odinhaknet closed 1 year ago

odinhaknet commented 1 year ago

I have executed as follows:

  1. As a normal user on my Arch with bspWM: grub2-theme-preview ~/Downloads/Graphite-gtk-theme --grub-cfg ~/Downloads/grub.cfg --debug

  2. As root user: grub2-theme-preview /usr/share/grub/themes/Graphite-gtk-theme --debug

However, they don't work. Could you help me with any ideas please.

hartwork commented 1 year ago

Hi @reichikita-haknet "they don't work" is not a proper bug report. If you provide more details about your environment and how it doesn't work in detail, I may be able to help.

odinhaknet commented 1 year ago

Of course. Basically the error is that nothing happens, it just stays there with those outputs. My specifications: 2023-10-23_124845_866283245

You will see simply in my Arch Linux with the bspWM window manager, first of all download the utility with pipx as follows: pipx install grub2-theme-preview, of course also download the necessary dependencies with pacman (grub2, qemu, ovmf, mtools, xorriso).

Then as a normal user use:

sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg ~/Downloads

sudo chown reichikita:reichikita ~/Downloads/grub.cfg

grub2-theme-preview ~/Downloads/Graphite-gtk-theme --grub-cfg ~/Downloads/grub.cfg --debug

I have used the --debug parameter in both cases in order to see any obvious errors but I cannot see any.

I don't think the theme is the problem because it is the one I currently use for GRUB.

hartwork commented 1 year ago

@reichikita-haknet could you add --verbose? That would show the commands being run to create the resue image and also to run QEMU/KVM.

E.g. for me:

$ grub2-theme-preview --verbose /usr/share/grub/themes/steam-big-picture/ |& grep '^# '
# grub-mkrescue --directory=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc --xorriso xorriso --output /tmp/tmp8wjim43u/grub2_theme_demo.img boot/loader=/boot/loader/ boot/grub/grub.cfg=/tmp/tmp8wjim43u/grub.cfg boot/grub/themes/DEMO/=/usr/share/grub/themes/steam-big-picture
# qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -drive file=/tmp/tmp8wjim43u/grub2_theme_demo.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw -enable-kvm
hartwork commented 1 year ago

@reichikita-haknet PS: You could try passing --display gtk or --display sdl to grub2-theme-preview also. My guess is that your QEMU has neither of these displays enabled? To list the supported QEMU display options in practice:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -display help
Available display backend types:
none
gtk
sdl
egl-headless
curses
dbus
odinhaknet commented 1 year ago

Now use --verbose.
