[CachyOS] ERROR: [Errno 2] OVMF image file "/usr/share/[..]/OVMF_CODE.fd" is missing, please install package 'edk2-ovmf' or 'ovmf'.

Received this error while trying to run grub2-theme-preview and sudo grub2-theme-preview.

ERROR: [Errno 2] OVMF image file "/usr/share/[..]/OVMF_CODE.fd" is missing, please install package 'edk2-ovmf' or 'ovmf'.

I installed grub2-theme-preview on the AUR and installed both ovmf and edk2-ovmf.

After looking at the other similar issue, I checked out /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/x64/ and this is what's in there.

.MICROVM.4m.fd
OVMF.4m.fd
OVMF_CODE.4m.fd
OVMF_CODE.secboot.4m.fd
OVMF_VARS.4m.fd

Am I mistaken or are these supposed to be '.fd' instead of '.4m.fd'?

Thank you

Hi @large-farva,

grub2-theme-preview checks the following locations:

grub2-theme-preview/grub2_theme_preview/__main__.py

Lines 434 to 444 in a3a396f

From your list above it seems that /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd either no longer exists or was renamed in Arch/AUR/CachyOS?

[large-farva]

It seems it's been renamed for Arch Linux.

@large-farva I have tried booting QEMU with…

• usr/share/edk2/x64/MICROVM.4m.fd
• usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF.4m.fd
• usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.4m.fd
• usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.secboot.4m.fd

…and my successes were:

• usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF.4m.fd
• usr/share/edk2/x64/OVMF_CODE.4m.fd

I'll add these two to auto-detection now…

@large-farva I have now released 2.9.1 with the fix from #374 to PyPI, Git tag and GitHub release. If you can help get https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub2-theme-preview updated to 2.9.1 some way that would rock. Please report back if anything doesn't work with the new filenames.
