So I just updated for the 2nd/3rd time on my new uefi machine with systemd-boot and now I have no boot menu … I just see the Aorus boot splash then it goes straight to loading the kernel and then to sddm where everything works like usual except I get no text menu before it loads. I just did a zypper dup and rebooted . nothing else was changed. New to the whole efi thing … is there some command I can run to get the boot menu back? Still exploring the sdbootutil command … ![]()
