Hi,
I’ve installed openSUSE tumbleweed, now I want to make changes to grub but when i run grub2-mkconfig the result is:
insmod: ERROR: could not load module part_gpt: No such file or directory
How can I install part_gpt module ?
Hi, welcome
AFAIK that’s part of the GRUB install, so it should already be on your system. Did you upgrade already? If so, by ‘zypper dup’ ?
Are we talking about a UEFI / Secureboot ?
EDIT: Is this one a 32bit or 64bit install?
That should be the file “/boot/grub2/i386-pc/part_gpt.mod”
or perhaps the file “/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/part_gpt.mod”
and it should already be on your system. Which of those you should have depends on whether you are using “grub2” or “grub2-efi” for booting.
Are we talking about a UEFI / Secureboot ?
EDIT: Is this one a 32bit or 64bit install?
Yes it’s UEFI system 64 bit and Secureboot is set to true.
That should be the file “/boot/grub2/i386-pc/part_gpt.mod”
or perhaps the file “/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/part_gpt.mod”
exactly I have part_gpt.mod in /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi. but if I run insmod part_gpt the result is the same.
What changes?
but when i run grub2-mkconfig the result is:
This is very unlikely “result of grub2-mkconfig” as this command does not run “insmod”. Please explain what you mean. If this message is really result of grub2-mkconfig, copy and paste here full invocation and its output. Otherwise please explain when exactly you see this message.
For secure boot signed grub2 binary with disabled module loading is used. This binary includes part_gpt.mod. You really need to explain what and why you are trying to do.
I want to change a splash screen at boot.

I remember that secure boot is enable because when I have installed openSUSE, I left the default settings.
And to achieve it you did what?
andrea@linux-4pag ~ sudo grub2-mkconfig[sudo] password for root: insmod: ERROR: could not load module part_gpt: No such file or directory
You apparently added some custom file to /etc/grub.d that contains literal grub commands. But that is still just a guess without knowing what you actually did.
Currently still nothing. I only read that I could change the parameters of the grub from yast, if I go to Yast -> boot loader I get this error:http://i65.tinypic.com/30lyk92.jpg

I voluntarily did not modify anything. In the end I decided that I will reinstall the whole system by disabling secure boot during installation. In this way we should solve every problem. Unfortunately it was my fault, I did not read the openSUSE documentation about secure boot and I left it enabled as the default setting.
So, from what I understood by leaving it enabled I would need to sign the kernel with a key and compile it, since I did not, the kernel is not compiled with modules like part_gpt right?
I do not see any error

Somehow you managed to overwrite /etc/default/grub with output of grub2-mkconfig which should go into /boot/grub2/grub.cfg instead.
