hi,
multi-booting can no longer be performed via GRUB tui or gui,
only the partition of last selected os is shown
other os can be accessed via the GRUB command line
running cmd gives similar result from both installed os’s

Hi
A couple of things, if you run the command (as root user);
os-prober
Do you see the other operating systems?
Check /etc/default/grub to make sure the following entry is set;
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="false"
hi and thx for the reply,
no os-prober does not detect the other os,

The same problem happened to me with the latest kernel update. (Yes, I used zypper dup,)
There is a text file in /boot/grub2 that instructs to run “grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg” if a kernel update breaks multiboot.
It has worked before when a kernel update removed the other OS’s - Windows, Mint - but this time it does not work, although it reports detecting the other installed OS’s.

Hi
So what are the other operating systems? I would report as a bug
against os-prober. It has happened in the past…

It is probably a bug, due to recent grub updates.
I filed a bug report last evening (Chicago time) for bug 1114586. However, a reply suggested that it is a duplicate of bug 1113615. It seems that there’s a fix in the works. Maybe the next snapshot will have it.
hi,
the grub menu now shows the multi-boot entries
changes made:-
file: /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/50mounted-tests
line 55
type="$(grub-probe -d “$partition” -t fs)"
======================
changed to
======================
type="$(grub2-probe -d “$partition” -t fs)"
======================
file: /usr/lib/os-probes/init/10filesystems
lines 1-3
#!/bin/sh
Make sure filesystems are available.
set -e
======================
replaced by
======================
#!/bin/sh
Make sure filesystems are available.
set +e # ignore errors from modprobe
FILESYSTEMS=‘ext2 ext3 ext4 xfs jfs msdos vfat ntfs minix hfs hfsplus qnx4 ufs btrfs’
FILESYSTEMS="$FILESYSTEMS fuse"
======================
hths
cheers
NB: Maybe best to wait for official update.
Some changes of bug 1113615 were already implemented.
Thanks for the checking, and for the list of changes.
I will probably wait for the update to come through, because this isn’t very important to me. It isn’t affecting my primary boot menu on that system.
However, some other folk reading this might have a more urgent problem, so your list of changes could help them.
hi,
Thanks to all who replied.
The reference to bug 1113615 was very useful.
os-prober still only detects the os in use.
cheers
