[Bug 907965] New: boot option in kde menus is permanent
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907965 Bug ID: 907965 Summary: boot option in kde menus is permanent Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: jsrain@suse.com Reporter: jdd@dodin.org QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- sorry, I don't know how to classify this, buts it's very annoying. I had the same problem years ago, may I'm the only one to use this option :-). The bug is critical only if you use the option. I speak of the ability to choose the next starting system directly from the close menu in kde4 or kdm, here in 13.2. In fact the choice is not for the next reboot, but permanent. In my case, I choosed to start the old 13.1, and the computer started then 13.1 with no other choice, at any reboot. It became impossible to boot any other system. One can just see the upper left flashing "grub" starting message. To fix this, I had to go to the bios start menu, choose the other disk 13.1 is installed in to get the 13.1 menu (for what ever reason 13.1 do not see 13.2 boot), enter the grub console, load the kernel, the initrd and then I could bring up the 13.2 standard boot, and in kdm choose the "opensuse" normal option. This seems to reset the system to normal working state (I hope so :-). The problem sits somewhere in the grub2 config file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

To have back the grub menu I had to reset grub with yast (I coudn't indentify thye problem in grub.cfg) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

To "fix" it, remove /boot/grub2/grubenv manually. A workaround to prevent the problem would be to remove those lines from /etc/grub.d/00_header: cat << EOF if [ -f \${config_directory}/grubenv ]; then load_env -f \${config_directory}/grubenv elif [ -s \$prefix/grubenv ]; then load_env fi EOF grub2 would then just ignore grubenv. Or use a separate /boot partition, formatted in ext2 e.g. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 856391 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
