[Bug 956063] New: All Snapshots won't boot
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956063 Bug ID: 956063 Summary: All Snapshots won't boot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: jsrain@suse.com Reporter: wodenhof@daad-alumni.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When I try to boot any snapshot the following happens: select snapshot xy <enter> new menu, asking whether to boot snapshot xy <enter> new menu, saying like "If everything works okay, enter "snapper rollback" ... nothing more happens. Pressing any key will not have any response, but <ctrl><alt><del> will initialize a new boot sequence. If one omits the second <enter> and waits out the preset delay, one gets a black screen with some text like "Default as well as alternative entries could not be booted (in German: "Sowohl die Vorgabe als auch die Alternativeinträge konnten nicht gebootet werden.") Is there any setting up needed to use snapper? Right now it is unaltered the way it was installed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Created attachment 657229 [details] Boot sequence #3
The "openSUSE Leap 42.1" is the boot entry into your snapshot #176. The first entry "Bootable snapshot #176" is not used for boot but only to display information. We (mis)use menu entry title for displaying the information because no pure text label can be used in grub menu. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Suggestion: Set the grub2 default entry to the second line (the one with the actual boot entry). Additionally you might highlight the first line with blue background or red characters or whatever and prepend "Snapshot to be booted, don't select this entry" or some such information.
To workaround your can explicitly specify the default entry. grub2-set-default "openSUSE Leap 42.1" It should help in new created snapshots to have correct default match the title rather than the default first entry. About your suggestion, thanks and we will take it into account as we are also having some discussion internally. For $subject, I think it's won't fix (as it works for you.) Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
