I see some people are working on pretty themes for it. Good for them, but which saint of the church of libre software is going to organize some well throught-through user-facing documentation?

#grub #linux #documentation #floss

Grub seems like such an esoteric piece of software, I suppose not because its so much more complicated than some other things, but because the documentation is spread all around the place, the community is spread all around the place, and anyway – who wants to get deep into something, the configuration of which is often a pretty personal matter, and that most users will only ever have to fiddle with once every couple of years, max?

Tras la última actualización de Manjaro, se rompe GRUB a menos que se sigan unos pasos manualmente.

Escribí en mi gemlog sobre cómo lo solucioné y quizás le sirva a alguien:

Ok, pardon me.

FOUND.000 is a folder, not a file. It contains a huge number of files.

FILE{4-digit-number-incrementing}.CHK

What the lesser gods has happened here?!??!?

#window11 #grub #linux #boot

i finally got access to the boot partition at least and wow, window11 completely erased everything there. Only file left is a found.000 file.

Does it make sense to install refind there or do i have to re-install grub there (which i have no clue how to do) or is the whole system lost and i have to reinstall linux from the ground up?

Do any #Linux users with the #GRUB bootloader have any idea if there is any way to rotate the GRUB screen itself?

To be clear, I'm saying rotate GRUB not rotate everything after GRUB. I tried searching the Internet and every single person asking if the GRUB screen could be rotated was given advice on how to rotate the Linux console after the kernel is loaded. I'm not asking how to do that. I know how to do that.

There is a whole class of devices (certain sorts of embedded devices such as most things that run on an Atom SoC) that for no known reason setup their display as rotated left. I'm fixing up my ancient GPD Win (1) with Debian and it's one such device. It uses 720x1280 resolution because of... well, whatever the reason is.

Eine Nerdfrage.

#Thinkpad #T480 und #Boot vom Live #LinuxMint haben zur Folge, dass #GRUB #Konfiguration kaputt ist bzw. nicht richtig ist und auch LUKS/LVM der Festplatte nach Passworteingabe nicht mehr automatisch geöffnet, d.h. aktiviert und gemounted werden.

Das scheint am #BIOS und seinem #NVRAM zu liegen. ChatGPT hat mir dazu viel erzählt.

Hat jmd von Euch auch solche Erfahrungen gemacht und kann übet Beobachtungen berichten?

Why is my #debian #linux root partition mounted read-only after booting?

Filesystem is clean, no hint in dmesg or journal... remounting rw works without a problem.

#grub #systemd

Hoy he aprendido una cosa nueva. Desde que cambié el PC estaba teniendo problemas con el arranque. Mi amigo #GRUB me recibía cada día con un precioso "error: no such device: RANDOM-UUID-DE-UN-FILESYSTEM" pero si reiniciaba, entraba a la BIOS y seleccionaba el disco duro... MAGIA. Arranque correcto ¿Qué estaba pasando? Desde el prompt de GRUB veía la partición del UUID (ls -l) y todos los reinicios sucesivos funcionaban a la primera así que el problema estaba en el primer arranque...
