grub2 summer code theme in debian?

[J.Bakshi]

Dear list,

In my debian lenny, the grub2 has very simple look. I know it can be tweak to 
get ubuntu style graphical grub2 interface. After searchine google I have 
found the Grub2 summer code project 2008 and I have downloaded the theme 
folder. But I can't understand how to include the theme file in grub.cfg.
Please let me know how to use those theme with grub.cfg.

with regards,
J

Integration of the Summer of Code 2008 codes are still work-in-progress.
So at this time this is not possible. You have to wait a bit in order
integration to be completed.

Hi Vesa,

The integration process seems to be halted, I wonder if there is
something wrong. IMO, we can commit the patch if there is no serious
breakage, we can fix minor issues later.

Which patch do you mean?  IIRC, there were many of them.  I think most are
quite straightforwarded, although I don't have the knowledge to evaluate that
myself.  Also, there are a few that need to be discussed, but I think these
haven't been submitted yet.

Then how can I use those fancy gfxterm in debian ?
I have seen those are in action in kubuntu, suse etc... even I have downloaded 
successfully all the images, fonts to get the winter theme. Is not there any 
alternative to use the theme ?

thanks

That's Colin's page about his GRUB GSoC work and there you find his
Bazaar Repositorys.
I personally don't use it but it seems like you need the `gfxmenu'
branch

I have been rather busy with other stuff. There is however some patches
that could be looked independently.

"pretty make patch"

[PATCH] GSoC #03 Menu viewer interface

[PATCH] GSoC #04 Multiple fallback entries

[PATCH] GSoC #05 Menu entry class attribute

- I do not like usage of '|' to separate arguments. So it would need to
be either used as is, or menu parser would need work.

I have started with those video subsystem improvements and have
committed some of those (with modifications) already. And also some
simple changes or bugfixes has already went. You can easily track
patches with comments about commit that has went in. (I use threaded
mail view to make things visually easy to process)

There are still some video subsystem related stuff and then the new font
engine that are next on my list.

Also "[PATCH] GSoC #10 font tools" needs a bit discussion. And also can
we use Lua for scripting (I think there is thread somewhere about that).

Our second GSoC project for USB needs a bit more testing and perhaps
some cleanups (Marco & Robert any comments?).

Marco seems to be busy atm;  anyway, the biggest blocker I see right now is
that the proposal for handlers (which implicitly includes terminal input &
output split) is stuck.

Ah and I don't have much time lately either :-(
