No theme on Fedora 17's grub

[gustavokrm]

So, I read that one of the features for Fedora 17 was the smexy theme on grub. It turns out that my grub shows up raw, with no theme at all. During that nanosecond when grub is loading, I catched this message that says something like: Error could not open font file or something on those lines.

Can anyone, please, point me out to how I can fix this? I am not very experienced with grub since I just came from Ubuntu..

Sorry if this isn't the right place or if this has been asked before. I searched and couldn't find similar topics.

Thanks in advance.

Edit the following from the terminal as root user: su - hit enter, then enter password and hit enter again. Copy and paste the next line into terminal.

gedit /etc/default/grub

Hit enter

You will se something like this:

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 rd.lvm.lv=vg_hewjr/lv_swap KEYTABLE=us rd.luks=0 rd.lvm.lv=vg_hewjr/lv_root SYSFONT=True LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rhgb quiet"
#GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/system/theme.txt"

All you have to do is delete the pound sign at the begining of the last line “#GRUB THEME”

This is built-in to grub, make sure to click on save, then exit gedit.

Now copy and paste the next line into the terminal to update grub.

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Hit enter again and your done. Next time you boot you will see something better.

Ps. Also you can delete SYSFONT=True this will remove font error message.
