Re-hello, Ok, new updates just arrived with os-prober v1.31 package.
a) First, upgrading an existing system. Here is the message log after running $ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade ... (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-9-generic Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin Found Ubuntu 9.04 (9.04) on /dev/sda1 Found Ubuntu 8.10 (8.10) on /dev/sda3 Found Ubuntu 8.04 (8.04) on /dev/sda5 Found Linux Mint 7 Gloria - x64 Edition (7) on /dev/sda9 Found Ubuntu 8.04.1 (8.04) on /dev/sdb1 Found Ubuntu 9.04 (9.04) on /dev/sdb2 Found Linux Mint 7 Gloria - Main Edition (7) on /dev/sdb3 done -- Now the GRUB2 update took only a few seconds (maybe 5 - 6 seconds or so). But some menu entries are missing. The newly-generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg file contains only entries from this actual Ubuntu installation + rescue mode and memtest86. It does not include the various Linuxes from other partitions. Most notably the "Other operating systems:" section of grub.cfg is completly empty. See the attached grub.cfg. ----- The version of os-prober is now: $ sudo apt-cache show os-prober Package: os-prober Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 180 Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Original-Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <[email protected]> Architecture: amd64 Version: 1.31 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) Filename: pool/main/o/os-prober/os-prober_1.31_amd64.deb Size: 20784 MD5sum: 77a765fd961d3c972ef59b05d2572a61 ... -------- b) I also did a totally new 64bit Ubuntu Alpha5 installation. The grub.cfg after first boot is exactly 100% same as in the upgrade step a). And files in /etc/grub.d/ are: $ ls -l /etc/grub.d/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2944 2009-09-01 23:53 00_header -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1154 2009-09-01 23:41 05_debian_theme -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3434 2009-09-01 23:53 10_linux -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 472 2009-06-24 18:04 20_memtest86+ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5123 2009-09-01 23:53 30_os-prober -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 84 2009-09-01 23:53 40_custom -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 483 2009-09-01 23:53 README -------- The missing menu entries (the other partitions/Linuces) are not a big problem because I always maintain my own grub.cfg manually. But maybe the "30_otheros" script is still required? Or maybe 30_os- prober script needs som fine-tuning? See the attached grub.cfg. Do not hesitate to ask me to do additional tests. I'll very happy to help. That's what I do. -------- ** Attachment added: "Newly generated grub.cfg (by os-prober v1.31)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31478689/grub.cfg -- Karmic: Re-generation of grub.cfg takes long time. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
