Error running grub2-theme-preview on Ubuntu 24.04: Missing OVMF image file

$
0
0

I am encountering an issue when running the grub2-theme-preview command on Ubuntu 24.04. When I execute the following command in my terminal:

sudo .venv/bin/grub2-theme-preview . 

I receive this error message:

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

I expect the tool to launch properly, but it seems unable to locate the OVMF image file. More details about the tool can be found on its:https://github.com/hartwork/grub2-theme-preview

Steps Taken:

  1. I set up a Python virtual environment: python -m venv .venv
  2. I installed grub2-theme-preview using apt: sudo apt install python3-grub2-theme-preview
  3. I installed the required dependencies:
sudo apt install mtoolssudo apt install ovmf

Current Package Status:

When attempting to install ovmf, I receive the following message, indicating that it is already installed:

sudo apt install ovmfReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree... DoneReading state information... Doneovmf is already the newest version (2024.02-2).ovmf set to manually installed.The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:  python3-compose python3-docker python3-dockerpty python3-docopt python3-dotenv python3-texttable python3-websocketUse 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Additional Efforts:

I have tried searching for the OVMF_CODE.fd file with no success:

sudo find / -name 'OVMF_CODE.fd' but is not found.

I also referred to this documentation which discusses similar issues on openSUSE but couldn't find a relevant solution for Ubuntu.https://powersnail.com/2022/grub2-theme-preview-opensuse/

Request for Help:

Does anyone have suggestions on how I might resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
