switch to opensuse bootloader

Hi openSusers!
I installed ubuntu after installing opensuse, but i need to have the default opensuse bootloader. I am using Grub2. Have tried various methods, does not work yet… Can you help me with that? thanks!

what version of openSUSE do you have installed? hmmm, not knowing
that i think this thread has your answer (but maybe not):

anyway i’m not sure the best way to fix your problem–there are a lot
of differences between the two distros…maybe there is also help
for you in the Ubuntu to openSUSE how-to, here:

Ubuntu grub will be written to MBR overwriting openSUSE grub.

In openSUSE
Open a terminal and do

su -
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

grub2-install /dev/sda

reboot

Great! this worked as expected, now i have a nice green grub and the boot animation is back. Big Thanks!

As I suspected
Well done
