Adding Protection to Ubuntu Entries subsection A piece of instruction reads + + --------------------------------------------------------- + ===Adding Protection to Ubuntu Entries subsection=== Add --users : - printf "menuentry '${title}' ${CLASS} --users "" {\n" "${os}" - "${version}" - + printf "menuentry '${title}' ${CLASS} --users "" {\n" "${os}" "${version}" + --------------------------------------------------------- Actually it should be --users \"\" - 2. Adding Protection to Other Entries subsection + Instructions in the box read: + --------------------------------------------------------- + ===Adding Protection to Other Entries subsection=== sudo sed 's/--class os /--class os --users /' -i /etc/grub.d/30_os- prober + ---------------------------------------------------------- I think --users should also be changed as in the section above (I did not test this). - The thing is that in case of plain menuentry instruction (without printf) --users "" work fine. But if there's printf in front of it the actual menuentry is generated in grub.cfg without those quotes. An example of broken configuration is below: + + The thing is that in case of plain menuentry instruction (without + printf) --users "" work fine.
