I've never liked the way grubby produces the menus, and BLS seems to be exactly the same. Other OS menu entries are not required now, as I'm running F30 in a VM under Windows 10 now, with Ubuntu in a 2nd VM instead of tri-booting as I was previously. I actually wanted to run Windows 10 in a VM under Fedora, but Fedora wouldn't install in my hardware raid environment, nor would it install with UEFI active, the live cd hung at a black screen at the point of wanting to display the desktop, and I couldn't get it advance any further. regards, Steve ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Explanation: This package is the real grubby. The grubby package in F30 is a wrapper script that has far less functionality and is there just to help people familiar with grubby commands for changing kernel boot behavior like boot parameters and default kernel. But if you revert to the old way, you need the real grubby provided by the grubby-deprecated package, because that's what rewrites the grub.cfg when new kernels are installed and old kernels are removed. -- Chris Murphy ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

F30 Grub2-mkconfig and Grub2-install not Working Correctly?
Hi,
I have upgraded from F29 to F30 via the recommenced dnf method. I
have Fedora running in a vm under vmware player. Grub2-mkconfig and
grub2-install no longer seem to generate the grub menu as they did under
F29, the menu seems to be that generated by grubby (it could be that
turning off the suppression of sub-menu creation is now being ignored).
Looking at /boot/grub2/grub.cfg I cannot see any references in there to
kernels, so I have attached the file for reference. Am I missing
something or is the functionality now different, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is
where I have always written the grub.cfg via this process?
regards,
Steve
