The bug is somewhat worse than in the original report: grub-install will remove anything that has "Ubuntu" (case INsensitive!) in it's name. In a test, both "RAID Ubuntu /dev/sdc", "Ubuntu /dev/sdc" were removed by grub-install. A label "RAID fallback /dev/sdc" would survive a call to grub-install.
I'm not sure this is just a wishlist item. I can understand that grub- install removes any item named "ubuntu" (case sensitive) because it creates these. But why remove .*ubuntu.*/i ? I agree with comment #4 that this is beyond most users. Regarding comment #3: a sysadmin might want "ubuntu WDC_WD20EFRX- 68EUZN0_WD-WCC4M6HVCKR8", but for a regular user "ubuntu" may just be fine. And having the disk ID automatically (i.e. by grub-install) added to the menu means that it will also be automatically removed - adding to complexity and to unintended side effects. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568050 Title: grub-install removes other EFI boot entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1568050/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
