Bug#547406: grub-pc: Linux command line not extracted from
Hello Harry, Just to understand fully. You want the command line out put to appear like this The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary. Linux default command line: resume=swap:/dev/mapper/vgsys-lvswap no_console_suspend hpet=force acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsi That is read from the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in the file /etc/default/grub like below # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian` #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='resume=swap:/dev/mapper/vgsys-lvswap no_console_suspend hpet=force acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsig' -- Regards Martin Naughton
Bug#547406: grub-pc: Linux command line not extracted from /etc/default/grub
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal
On upgrade, I'm presented with the following dialog:
---8---
Configuring grub-pc
---
The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the
`kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's
menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary.
Linux command line:
The following string will be used as Linux parameters for the default menu
entry but not for the recovery mode.
Linux default command line:
---8---
But the parameter `Linux [default] command line' is not prefilled with the
value from /etc/default/grub. In fact, I couldn't find any code in
grub-pc.postinst that would extract that value.
Here's my /etc/default/grub file:
---8---
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2 /dev/null || echo Debian`
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='resume=swap:/dev/mapper/vgsys-lvswap no_console_suspend
hpet=force acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsig'
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass root=UUID=xxx parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entrys
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true
---8---
On a side note, it's a bit confusing that the description uses
`Linux command line' in one case and `string [...] as Linux parameters' in the
other.
