I had purged os-prober some time ago but forgotten about. Now I wanted to reenable os-probing. I saw the file /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober despite having purged os-prober (it is a grub-common config file).
1. Now I searched for a package grub-os-prober. Nothing found. 2. Searched for all names grub . Not found os-prober 3. Searched for Version 1.98 . Not found os-prober After 2 hours examination I got the most easy solution (for dummies): apt-get install os-prober I would not have os-prober purged if I knew the entry: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub (I wish this for a self explaining commented out entry...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
