Can't YaST just check to see if there is a bootloader installed at the given location and if not, reinstall it?
It is quite hard. I can detect if there is something that looks like grub2 code, but hard to quess if it will work and if it do exactly what expected.
I would *really* like to avoid adding another button to this ui. Especially one to solve the problem of an advanced user who messed things up by hand and with the terminal. If the above solution is not possible, I would still not add a button to this ui. It is clearly an advanced user doing advanced things so they should simply finish their advanced task by hand.
How many users will this happen to? What kind of users are they? Simply adding more and more functionality to YaST to solve every possible use-case is making YaST unusable through complexity.
It is hard to say, but I think very limited amount of users, but if it happen to beginner, then he is in troubles, because without bootloader it is hard to play with pc :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
