Problem is that yast2-bootloader itself does not store this defaults, so it needs to read it from grub2 configuration file. What can be done is similar like if missing some option or if config is broken - show popup that file is missing and allow user to propose configuration from scratch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Josef, I guess that fix could be quite easy (well, depends). We could also fix this with a MU if needed. Ruby exceptions are not nice, but this one is close to cutting a branch that you are sitting at anyway ;)

Is there a scenario where it's a wanted state to live without /etc/default/grub? Is that some kind of a feature, or is it just a theoretical state of the system?

I do not know such state. File is created during installation, it is owned by grub2 itself and to be honest I see it only few times and always it was accident that it was deleted. So it is more like recovery from broken state here for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

IMHO the file is strictly speaking optional for grub2(*), but in practice required by yast. I think that allowing the file to be missing would complicate yast further, with little gains.

Tomas, did you remove the file yourself, or did some other program do it?

I am not sure if I deleted it myself as it is long time migrated machine, I guess we can close this as wontfix if you guys simply say the config file must be present :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
