--- Begin Message ---Package: grub2-common Version: 2.12-9 I would like to report what appears to be a regression or documentation mismatch regarding GRUB_DISABLE_EDITING on Debian 13 ("trixie"). On a fresh Debian 13 amd64 system, I added the following to /etc/default/grub for security reason: GRUB_DISABLE_EDITING=true Then I ran "sudo update-grub." The command completed without errors and regenerated /boot/grub/grub.cfg. However: - Pressing e at the GRUB menu still allows editing of boot entries. - Searching /boot/grub/grub.cfg for any reference to "disable" or "editing" returns nothing (for example, grep -i disable /boot/grub/grub.cfg produces no output). This suggests that the GRUB_DISABLE_EDITING variable is not being translated into any corresponding GRUB setting in the generated configuration. My understanding is that GRUB_DISABLE_EDITING=true is supposed to disable interactive editing of menu entries, so either this functionality has been removed or it is no longer wired up in the Debian packaging/scripts. Could you please clarify whether: - GRUB_DISABLE_EDITING is still intended to be supported on Debian 13, and if so, which GRUB variable/command in grub.cfg should be generated; or - The option is deprecated/unsupported, in which case the documentation and default /etc/default/grub handling may need to be updated? System details: - Debian version: Debian 13 "trixie" (amd64) - Boot mode: UEFI - grub-install version: 2.12-9
