Package: grub-common
Version: 2.12-7
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Since the upgrade from bookworm to sid, I noticed that on the boot menu
Debian's boot entry has duplicate "GNU/Linux" so it ends up as "Debian
GNU/Linux GNU/Linux".
I chased down the source of the issue and found this commit:
https://salsa.debian.org/grub-
team/grub/-/commit/372c8ce2b653b0edf7bcb197e216bf1bd403446a
This commit replaced the lsb_release method by sourcing the /etc/os-release
file. As a side effect, GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR changed from "Debian" to "Debian
GNU/Linux".
A snippet of the script in /etc/grub.d/10_linux indicates that the script will
add GNU/Linux to the OS name if it isn't Ubuntu or Kubuntu.
See the snippets below:
------
from /etc/grub.d/10_linux:
case ${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} in
Ubuntu|Kubuntu)
OS="${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR}"
;;
*)
OS="${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} GNU/Linux"
;;
esac
from /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen:
if [ "x${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR}" = "x" ] ; then
OS=GNU/Linux
else
OS="${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} GNU/Linux"
CLASS="--class $(echo ${GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR} | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | cut -d' '
-f1|LC_ALL=C sed 's,[^[:alnum:]_],_,g') ${CLASS}"
fi
from /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux GNU/Linux' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class
gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-<...>' {
load_video
insmod gzio
if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root <...>
echo 'Loading Linux 6.12.27-amd64 ...'
linux /vmlinuz-6.12.27-amd64 root=UUID=<...> ro
rootflags=subvol=<...> splash
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /initrd.img-6.12.27-amd64
}
------
Thank you
