[Bug 1038093] Re: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu
This bug is fix release in Raring Ringtail, the SRU to quantal precise did not happen yet. To stop using OS_PROBER during Grub generation, one can specify: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub After that one would need to add fedora/arch boot stanzas to: /etc/grub.d/40_custom be careful not to delete comments from that file, but append to it.

[Bug 1038093] Re: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu
Nine months later, and this is still an open issue :( Could anyone point out how to remove Ubunut's OS Prober and flavor of GRUB? I recently re-installer Fedora 18, and I don't want to los it again. I also need to ensure earlier versions of Ubuntu (for example 11.10) don't fiddle with things either (I still have to support 11.10 in the field for others, so I need it for testing). Everything I've found online is related to removing GRUB entirely in favor of Windows. This is not my situation - I need Fedora's Prober and Grub because it works with all OSes. Thanks in advance for help on the Ubuntu Prober/GRUB removal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038093 Title: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1038093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Jefrey Walton I agree: it is amazing that this is not fixed. Especially when the status is Fix Released. But there is an easy manual work-around: before running update-grub, mount the non-Ubuntu Linux boot partitions. Then os-prober finds them! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038093 Title: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1038093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1038093] Re: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu
@D. Hugh Redelmeier (hugh-mimosa) Yeah, I can get the OS Prober to recognize the Fedora volumes by first mounting. However, the GRUB menu will not display them as an option during boot. I've tried the following, and they do not produce expected results (i.e., no menu entry for Fedora during boot): # First mount Fedora volume $ sudo update-grub and $ sudo grub-mkconfig $ sudo grub-install -o /dev/sda I'm working from memory because I don't want to boot into Ubuntu right now. I've tried the commands above on Ubuntu with grub and grub2 (don't recall which grub works for which command). Apparently I'm too dumb to figure out how to fix things in Fedora given the exiting documentation. There's nothing special about me, so I imagine there are other folks experiencing the same pain. All of this could be avoided if (1) Ubuntu fixed the problem; (2) GRUB allowed me to boot to a device (i.e., simply specify /dev/sda6); or (3) or Fedora provided a boot repair disk. As far as I know, we have none of them. I've literally wasted hours on this. I'm ready to cut my losses and simply let Fedora manage GRUB and booting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038093 Title: [regression] Fedora17 and ArchLinux dont appear in GRUB menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1038093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This might also be useful for the Debian and Ubuntu folks: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Kernel_updates. It discusses the changes made at Fedora 17 and how to specify a boot image.

This bug was fixed in the package os-prober - 1.57ubuntu1 --- os-prober (1.57ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #1038093). Remaining changes: - Mount btrfs subvolume @ when present to access a btrfs formatted rootfs. - When called with WINOSDATA, return the list of Windows partitions containing the system instead of only listing these containing the bootrecord. os-prober (1.57) unstable; urgency=low [ Christian Perrier ] * Deal with grub-probe exiting with non zero status on some devices, which in turns can stuck update-grub Closes: #680084 [ Joey Hess ] * Fix detection of Fedora and other distros that moved /lib into /usr and left behind a symlink. Grub's filesystem code does not support symlinks.
