Hi, I like to report bugs and help, but how could this not be so obvious as to have gone unnoticed..? So I hate to waste your time too, but..
I type: grub-mkconfig -v .. here's a simple copy-paste: derry@AI8:~/Desktop$ grub-mkconfig -v Unrecognized option `-v' Usage: grub-mkconfig [OPTION] Generate a grub config file -o, --output=FILE output generated config to FILE [default=stdout] -h, --help print this message and exit -v, --version print the version information and exit Report bugs to <bug-grub@gnu.org>. derry@AI8:~/Desktop$ isn't that supposed to mean -v will print the version information and exit? The version is displayed with the long --version as: grub-mkconfig (GRUB) 2.04-1ubuntu26.9 Here's my uname -a ... and the basics: root@AI8:/home/derry/Desktop# uname -a Linux AI8 5.8.0-44-generic #50~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 10 21:07:30 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Intel® Core™ i7 CPU 980 @ 3.33GHz × 12 Graphics: NV20 (Old MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti) Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (64bit) GNOME 3.36.8 on X11 apt, apt-get, and Synaptic all say up to date. Feel free if I missed anything to ask away... Sorry if it's something obvious I missed, it happens. Should I go to Grub2? Don't really know what the diff is. (PS - same results using root, checked, just in case) Thank you for your time! Andrew
