** Description changed:
Binary package hint: grub-installer
Loop-installations expect a root argument such as:
root ()/ubuntu/disks
There following code used to replace the existing groot to produce the
above string
if db_get grub-installer/bootdev_directory && [ "$RET" ]; then
sed -i "/^# groot=/s:).*:)$RET:" $ROOT/boot/grub/$menu_file
need_update_grub=1
fi
- But because of the way the new update-grub handles of groot/boot_device,
- the groot string returned is formatted differently (there are no "()")
- and the above sed command fails. The following should work:
+ But because of the recent changes in update-grub that provide UUID
+ support, groot/boot_device are handled differently, and in particular
+ the groot string returned is a UUID with no "()", hence the above sed
+ command fails. The following should work:
if db_get grub-installer/bootdev_directory && [ "$RET" ]; then
sed -i "s:^# groot=.*:# groot=()$RET:" $ROOT/boot/grub/$menu_file
need_update_grub=1
fi
** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu)
