[Bug 668396] Re: grub-pc should add debconf hook to update grub-pc/install_devices when using grub-install manually
Colin, I am unaware of how to do option 1. I've tried echo'ing the selection number using Teletype frontend but it wouldn't take that particular question. Sorry.. still new to debconf. Option 2 sounds suitable. Curious: would there be a problem with honoring the GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID variable? Kind of moot point now but it seems to be the right way.

Reopening as this obviously isn't quite right even though I'm prepared to justify the current behaviour (along similar lines as Phillip). Phillip, I'd prefer it if you left Won't Fixing to somebody who uploads the package in question. Possible solutions: * you could use debconf preseeding - there's no reason you should need to see the prompt if you already know the answer, because debconf supports preseeding an answer in its database before upgrading * we could have the canonical location of this answer be somewhere on the filesystem rather than somewhere in the debconf database, which is arguably required by policy anyway ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => Triaged -- grub-pc should add debconf hook to update grub-pc/install_devices when using grub-install manually https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 668396] Re: grub-pc should add debconf hook to update grub-pc/install_devices when using grub-install manually
Phillip, I see your point about installing grub to other devices. However, its not so easy to just run dpkg-reconfigure after the uuid's change. I admin 150+ machines and the prompting for the install device debconf wants to make on each machine would be a nightmare unless I wrote expect scripts and I would really rather avoid that. ;) There is a setting in /etc/default/grub where you can set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID to true. Perhaps debconf could honor this setting and record the install device as the old BIOS enumerated /dev/ scheme. Doing this would have avoided my frusterations in the first place. -- grub-pc should add debconf hook to update grub-pc/install_devices when using grub-install manually https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 668396] Re: grub-pc should add debconf hook to update grub-pc/install_devices when using grub-install manually
I don't think that this will be done because you can run grub-install on other devices that you don't plan on having automatically updated. If you change the uuid after imaging you should probably run dpkg- reconfigure to update grub2, then it won't need to ask later. I subscribed Colin Watson so he will see this and correct me if I am wrong in setting this to won't fix. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- grub-pc should add debconf hook to update grub-pc/install_devices when using grub-install manually https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
