[opensuse-factory] grub2
Hi all, today i received a message that grub-2.0 is finally released. I lost track counting how may years they needed for it ;-) Obviously this version can not be included into 12.2, much too late for that now.
From what i learned from the grub2-list, last couple of weeks quite a number of changes finally made it. So will grub2.0 be in a update after the 12.2 release, or will it be 12.3?

It was checked into 12.2 already. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

As grub2 is most likely *the* change of 12.2 and bootloaders tend to get a lot of testing, I decided out of the mood at 6am when playing a puzzle with my daughter that I want to take *that* risk :) But if you say it's not a good idea - it would have been nice to include that in your submit request message.

Ok, I just wanted to give it a bit of testing in factory. I would then ask Greg to include it in TW anyway. But if you feel it is still time to receive some testing in the following beta/rc paths of 12.2, I'm OK with that... thanks, - -- js suse labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJP7cFQAAoJEL0lsQQGtHBJHG8P/3cbWBbgWmGScMZF8UGJNxlS Zv8kneRDjM1W14NIyJMliMm6/qVsG0aIspC5mk8qfibP1wHgKnsL1/zfFvpWyk2m 4qrVxTWTf1c0+3Zs2/DhR1kgsLXCS8DS1TKhDEdWKiwWNdOks5+D5p+x3XauIU7i zDs8pxHkXfS+hPZIo4BXmv6AIb1cWxuL+WXfIFuhUMw+s0F46VzxrWyphfUR88DJ NJ4YekPZidApZn3Hac8+FH3BxdQPkeS2+rZAIhA6/4D6FrAYZNllpbbxBz87cDCs WUi9GMWhvRPgp9dKfs70xfnP7r+uPVTOmKwJ+JYEbBhYHyJ2NqIDKS3TOFJ0Y089 DQx64SAS4lRQZoGXTu45Vjx77Eq+EPOfhmRTw6TiPLnVlBTTrmj0MyxZD9l4xJIa oeh+WcMLN0bSEsiVJoZbAv51Q3kt+CRaopSQJHqvsTpviPIztN1z034NPmH8pUxr HlusT5XztQeoS4vVIhzNtfOlEpI2wRGjvbXwzqMEPhGe95iDq6EX4eMzn60g3qVF AONamNqhdgDZT1UifzVYCb/pD7dR+GPZeFrlR4Y/5IaegpFZxc0xTp4XlcmJmZM5 vTpBJRFGXmpd7N9f0nol/JgEiTJY6za3Hf9KjZsqgQ9DJmy/eAtcw3Lxpq9pS0dM Kw3YVRBy98h9UDqsfGnT =wtIt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Actual GRUB2 released has to be better than the buggy pre-releases I've been dealing with. I'm still using the Fedora 17 GRUB2 to manage booting on my machines because of all the bugs in openSUSE 12.2 GRUB2. On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 1:11 AM, Stephan Kulow <coolo@suse.de> wrote:

I'm just curious as I have 4 running 12.2 Beta2 boxes all using grub2 and just running openSUSE. What are these problems and are you dual booting? I can't see any specifics just that it's "rubbish" so I'd like to know if there is a potential pitfall awaiting. Regards Sid. On 01/07/12 04:53, M. Edward (Ed) Borasky wrote:

Thanks, I know a guy who says he has to reboot, up to 7 times so far before the system will boot properly. He is dual-booting openSUSE and Fedora only from yesterday but the problem occurred before installing Fedora 17. I have had no problems with any version up to the latest.
rpm -q grub2 grub2-1.99-24.2.x86_64 Regards Sid.

Are installed GRUB and GRUB2. On screen during start up, is a normaly presents 3 options by boot loader config. the 1st and the 2nd are the normal GRUB, the 3rd is for GRUB2.

Thanks Martin It's very complicated for me your solution. I've supposed that, if i write on these factory discussion team, perhaps the developed factory guys, would seek a solution. I was wrong, and frankly, is too complicated to perform too many steps just to a bug. I think that there is no desire to upgrade to RC1 where, to go to the bathroom, I need to ask permission.

Suit yourself. Filing a bug report in bugzilla is no more complicated or time consuming than writing an e-mail once you have your account etc. The only difference is that in bugzilla the report is less likely to get lost, and more likely to be read by the relevant people. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Because your current bootloader is grub, during kernel update perl bootloader will only update the current config in use, that is grub's config. So grub2 is totally unaffected and you need update it manually. There's a similar bug report to this issue. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=763578 Andreas, how do you think we remove this feature? We can't call grub2-mkconfig for user in bnc#763578's case because it would lead regression to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768063 And this keep people think about this is a bug if we can't offer a sane grub2 config for them to work. :( Thanks, Michael

What about enhancing /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to accept a list of bootloaders? Or allow a manual invocation of perl-bootloader with an option like -- grub or --grub2 to write the specific configuration? But IMO this is a transition problem: People don't trust grub2, want to play with it - and thus install them beside each other. Perhaps it's enough to document this scenario a bit more?

The question is there's no such case in real that we need to manage multipule installed bootloader configs at the same time. The change is huge and intrusive .. not just a enhance but a completely new feature and we don't know about how to implement it correctly .. :(
Or allow a manual invocation of perl-bootloader with an option like -- grub or --grub2 to write the specific configuration?
This will be have problem, in this case grub2 haven't been configured and thus perl-bootloader would fail due to it's not "initialized" ..
But IMO this is a transition problem: People don't trust grub2, want to play with it - and thus install them beside each other. Perhaps it's enough to document this scenario a bit more?
Maybe we could consider again in 12.3, or when we have more confidence on grub2. Thanks, Michael

GRUB2 after ugrade of kernel at a new release, not refresh the list at the start-up, why?
A comment on this. On one of my machines, I have both 12.1 installed (using legacy grub), and 12.2 installed using grub2. The grub2 menu includes entries for booting either system. (1) After a kernel update for 12.1, the grub2 menu still lists the old kernel for 12.1, so the grub2 menu entries cannot boot 12.1 (2) After a kernel update for 12.2, the grub2 menu was updated for the correct kernel for 12.2. That would probably have also updated the 12.1 entries, except that 12.1 is in an encrypted LVM and not fully visible to 12.2, so the entries were instead dropped. I am not sure, but I suspect that Maury is talking about (1) rather than about (2). In that case, I don't see it as a bug. Personally, I have added an entry to the grub2 menu that chainloads legacy grub to boot 12.1. So the problem in (1) is not a problem for me. Personal opinion: I think grub2 commits the sin of doing too much. It would have been better to chainload to other installs, instead of directly booting the kernels. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I agree with you on chainloading is better than directly booting kernel in general, But the problem comes from how to deal with different install scenarios and that's complicated. There's no general rule to know what partition's bootsector is used and we could leverage it in chainloading to desired place. It's a wild open. For example a distribution may install it's loader to extended partition and /boot on logical partiton (/dev/sda5). This is quite common scenario I think. In this case chainloading /dev/sda5 simply fails. Also we cannot predict chainloading that extended partition would lead us to where ... So, directly booting kernel is not perfect but somehow it is predictable by utilities. And manually configure your chainload partitions to satisfy your needs. Don't trust machines, they are always dumb. :) Thanks, Michael

I'm just curious as I have 4 running 12.2 Beta2 boxes all using grub2 and just running openSUSE. What are these problems and are you dual booting? I can't see any specifics just that it's "rubbish" so I'd like to know if there is a potential pitfall awaiting.
I've found that the screen resolution of my pre-existing 12.1 session is incorrect when booting from grub2. 12.2-B2 session is OK. Correct size is 1920x1080 but I get a 4:3 aspect ration instead. Cannot correct it from "System Settings - Size & Orientation" as only the one setting is available.

Hi all,
today i received a message that grub-2.0 is finally released. I lost track counting how may years they needed for it ;-)
Obviously this version can not be included into 12.2, much too late for that now.
From what i learned from the grub2-list, last couple of weeks quite a number of changes finally made it. So will grub2.0 be in a update after the 12.2 release, or will it be 12.3?
It was checked into 12.2 already.
From feature point-of-view: wonderful, thanks a lot!!
From project/product P.O.V: lets say.. daring. I mean, even on the grub-M.L. _they_ were complaining about the amount of last-minute changes.
Looks like your team has been working around the clock ;-) Tnx, hans. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
