http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017765 Bug ID: 1017765 Summary: [yast2/bootloader]: Make it possible to exclude foreign OS' from the bootloader menu Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.2 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: richard.bos@xs4all.nl QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 708186 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=708186&action=edit Patch for etc_grub2_30_os-prober When a system has many OS' (Linux') installed and probe for 'foreign OS' is enabled, the bootloader menu becomes cluttered with many entries. To prevent a cluttered bootloader menu, functionality to exclude certain partitions is desired. The attached patch (etc_grub2_30_os-prober.patch) to /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober provides this functionality. The 2nd attachment (30_os-prober-exclude) can be used to test the functionality. Now YaST2/bootloader should support this, to make it work. At the bootloader options tab, there should be a possibility to list which partitions are to be excluded from the bootloader menu, for example: Partitions to be excluded from the bootloader menu [ /dev/sda1 /dev/sda4 ] Together with the attached patch, only the desired partitions will be included in the bootloader menu. Even nicer would be to show a list with OS' that can be (un)checked to be excluded from the bootloader menu: [x] Probe foreign OS [x] /dev/sda1:CentOS^release^6.2^(Final):RedHat:linux [x] /dev/sda3:openSUSE^13.1^(x86_64):SUSE:linux [x] /dev/sda4:openSUSE^12.2^(x86_64):SUSE1:linux [x] /dev/sdb6:openSUSE^13.1^(x86_64):SUSE2:linux By default all OS' are selected, and the user can deselect the partitions, he/she does not want to show up in the bootloader menu. I hope you can support this enhancement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
