I have attached a somewhat cleaned up and commented version of the hand-written grub config I use at home. Feel free to use as an example for your machines, add it to the wiki and/or the handbook, or make the ebuild install it to /usr/share etc. One of the nice things about grub2 is that you no longer need to know or care about the BIOS disk numbers, you can simply use the UUID of the filesystem (and/or the PARTUUID for the kernel). grub.cfg Description: Binary data

Ah, I see that now. Thou after installing sys-auth/consolekit-1.1.0-r1 I get XDG_RUNTIME_DIR but no the directory is not created for root, seems to be fixed by: https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2/commit/664d2fdbd966764836b1f4da2dbc5750c7f01f0f

[gentoo-dev] XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=(null) when root logs in
I know this might be a bit off topic but I just want some clues Whenever root logs in(ssh or on text console) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to "(null)". This creates a /(null) dir. with various stuff in it. I am trying to find out what sets XDG_RUNTIME_DIR? We auth. against Windows AD using sssd, but root is a local UNIX user only(not in AD) Any clues? Jocke

I have added an example grub.cfg to the gentoo repository. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ec629c23a6e8cf6c18fa51d69ae11932c7ada3cc Please feel free to commit any obvious improvements or corrections. If you have a common scenario you would like to see added, feel free to ping me about it.

Yeah, the only reason I suggested "a tool" instead of "a template" is that perhaps there could be a handful of easily detectable things that generate a more optimal "initial" template. Particularly with regards to getting the hard-drive numbers and stuff right, that's what always concerns me. pgpcmDSP8mKcS.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

And that is my point. In the past you were given a template file and some instructions and simply edited it. Now you're given a fancy file-generator tool which you don't like. So, instead of a template file you ask for another simpler file-generator tool, which I think is the wrong approach. What you really want is another template file. I'm happy with mkconfig, but I did hand-roll my config files before that. The docs are out there. However, for whatever reason, it is very hard to find examples of simple config files online. The official docs try to point you in the direction of mkconfig, and since 99% of linux users don't configure their own grub there isn't much alternative documentation (and when a distro's solution does break the solution usually is based on mkconfig anyway). Unfortunately, I deleted the last copy of my manually-generated config files eons ago, otherwise I'd happily post one. The syntax is ALMOST identical to grub-0, but not quite. The syntax is documented though, and you can get a sense for how it works in the mkconfig-generated ones, but I'll go ahead and point out that 99% of the stuff in those is unnecessary. The essential elements are basically the same as they were before. -- Rich
