[Bug 430141] Re: No second OS is shown up in grub2
For me, after upgrading to grub2 (package grub-pc instead of grub), the package os-prober was not installed, and thus /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober immediately aborted instead of detecting the other operating systems. # apt-get install os-prober # update-grub should solve this (at least did it for me). In case you have no grub menu at all, edit /etc/default/grub, comment out the line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 and run update-grub ... -- No second OS is shown up in grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems that /usr/bin/os-prober is not installed or fails to run before the call to update-grub from the installer. Running it manually and then update-grub will add the missing entries, for both windows and linux partitions. -- No second OS is shown up in grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

maybe i should add that os-prober then correctly created menu entries for other Ubuntu installations, and Windows XP (which I only use as a gaming platform ;-) -- No second OS is shown up in grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Guys, could you please file a separate bug about os-prober being missing - it's not at all obvious that you have the same problem as Dave. In general, I find it's much better to file a new bug and risk it being a duplicate, than to jump into an existing bug. -- No second OS is shown up in grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In particular, DBF, you're talking about upgrades which isn't the case for Dave. os-prober is only a Recommends - recommends are installed by default, but perhaps you ignored the recommendation intentionally.
