[Bug 502138] Re: grub-pc keystatus check
Setting this to Fix Released since 30_osprober was modified since 2010 and this no longer affects any Ubuntu release.

[Bug 502138] Re: grub-pc keystatus check
If I'm reading you correctly, then I'm unable to reproduce this. That is, if you're saying that having the keystatus check in grub.cfg depends on another OS being found by os-prober, it's not what I'm seeing in my setup: here, os-prober *does* incorporate the keystatus check into grub.cfg despite Karmic being the only OS present. But do correct me if I'm reading you wrong. There's another issue though, the keypress not getting picked up by grub despite it being present in the config: Bug #425979 (which is why I was curious about whether I could reproduce this one). -- grub-pc keystatus check https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502138 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
[Bug 502138] Re: grub-pc keystatus check
Jani,
Thank you for taking the time to look at this report.
The point I'm trying to make is that the keystatus check is dependent on
1. 30_os-prober being executed
and (I think)
2. Satisfying these conditionals in 30_os-prober
if [ x${found_other_os} = x ] ; then
if [ x${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT} != x ] ; then
if [ x${GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT} = x0 ] ; then
The main issue to me is that it appears 30_os-prober must be run to get
the keystatus check to appear in grub.cfg. I don't find any other
scripts in /etc/grub.d that place the keystatus check in grub.cfg .
For a variety of reasons, such as using a custom menu or to speed the
creation of grub.cfg on a single OS system, a user may choose to remove
the executable bit from 30_os-prober. If that is done, the keystatus
check is not available - at least the keystatus check is not added to
grub.cfg.
