[Bug 1877861] Re: When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same label in the EFI vars
Luckily the boot order is, well, ordered, so you can figure out where the error was once you successfully booted, by looking at efibootmgr and investigating. You need to get it booted anyway, so this hardly seems more effort. We could change the entry to say "ubuntu on on 512110 MB SAMSUNG MZVLB512HAJQ-000L7" or such but that seems like it does not add much info in the usual use cases, because well, most disks will have the same name and size in RAID1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877861 Title: When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same label in the EFI vars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1877861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I strongly disagree. If you have a machine that has boot problems, knowing which entry is which could be very helpful when trying to resolve. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877861 Title: When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same label in the EFI vars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1877861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't believe there is a need for different labels, or a good kind of ID to display, even. The use case of the code is for raid1 where each disk in the raid1 mirror contains the same ESP, so they are all functionally equivalent - the point is that you can fallback to another if one of the disk fails / is removed. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877861 Title: When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same label in the EFI vars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1877861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Similar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1450783 And: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1450783 And: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1561712 I do change /etc/default/grub and get new entry in UEFI. GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=kubuntu But it always uses /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg to boot not /EFI/kubuntu/grub.cfg. But a different entry in UEFI. Or you can create an entry like shown in Bug above with grub-install --bootloader-id=myid or just in UEFI with efibootmgr and different description.Entry in UEFI uses GUID/partUUID to know which ESP to boot from. Most systems only allow one active ESP per device, but once configured, you may be able to use any FAT32 partition with .efi boot files. If in different ESP, then any of the options to create a different id should work, but you may need /EFI/ubuntu folder in ESP as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877861 Title: When installing grub to multiple EFI partitions they all have the same label in the EFI vars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1877861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
