Hi, I’m not the most expert user, but I’ve been messing with my latest linux install for a few months. I costumized the look of the GRUB, but whenever the kernel gets updated and the grub.cfg gets regenerated, the classes of two entries do not generate (efi and submenu), leaving the entries with no icons (which are determined by the class of the entry).

How do I make it so they automatically generate, instead of me modifing the .cfg everytime the kernel is updated?

I’m on linux mint, 21.2 Cinnamon.

    You need to add class to this line:

    echo "submenu '$(gettext_printf "Advanced options for %s" "${OS}" | grub_quote)' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-$boot_device_id' {"

    Insert ${CLASS} before $menuentry_id_option:

    echo "submenu '$(gettext_printf "Advanced options for %s" "${OS}" | grub_quote)' ${CLASS} $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-$boot_device_id' {"

      it’s not working, also I don’t know why when I went in that line I have a \ now, that wasn’t there before apparently, before $menuentry:

      echo "submenu '$(gettext_printf "Advanced options for %s" "${OS}" | grub_quote)' \$menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-$boot_device_id' {"

      (I’ve tried adding it also in front of ${CLASS}, leaving it only were it is, and removing it from both)

      What generates is this, so I think it’s from the linux proxy 35:

      ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/35_linux_proxy ###
submenu "Advanced Options"{
menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 5.15.0-91-generic" --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-5.15.0-91-generic-advanced-9e121508-86c8-407a-803d-9521d13f0be9' {
		recordfail
	savedefault
		load_video
		gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
		insmod gzio
		if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
		insmod part_gpt
		insmod ext2
		search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 9e121508-86c8-407a-803d-9521d13f0be9
		echo	'Loading Linux 5.15.0-91-generic ...'

		initrd	/boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-91-generic
}

        The linux proxy file has this inside it:

        Is not it what you wanted to? If not, write what you want instead ${CLASS} or define another variable and use it.
