[opensuse-factory] Reboot partition option
One thing that used to be in openSUSE was the ability to choose which partition was booted on reboot. This very useful feature appears to be missing in 42.2. Any chance it could be brought back? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No. I don't want to change the default partition. What I have been doing for years, prior to moving to 42.2 was on the desktop, when selecting reboot, being able to select what was booted into. I could, for example, select Windows or memtest. Then the computer would reboot and instead of the Grub menu coming up, boot into whatever I selected. It was a very useful feature for any dual boot system. On my computer, the default is Linux. However, on occasion I may wish to boot into Windows. I could specify that when I chose to reboot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I have the vague recollection of the feature being dropped somewhere. However, the tool that does the trick is grub2-once, and I also see a systemd service that restores the situation back.

That command does the trick, but has to be run as root. I suppose I could create a script with sudo to do it as a mere mortal.

You are way off on the wrong track. In 13.1 and earlier, it was a simple matter to choose what was booted after a reboot. That is no longer available. In 13.1, I could select reboot from the desktop, select the desired partition from a drop down list and then reboot right into the desired partition. In addition to 13.1, I could choose from Windows and memtest and did not have to select after the Grub menu came up.

Yes. I'm looking at it right now. That was in KDE4. I clicked on Leave->Restart A "Restart computer" pop-up appears with an orange icon button on the desktop. When I clicked on the orange restart button a small window shows a boot list. Very nice. I would submit a bug report for 42.3 so that they can import this feature.

Won't help. It's impossible to "import" this feature, it would need to be written from scratch. Nothing that openSUSE will do, and in particular not for 42.3. Also in KDE4 it only works if you are using KDM as display/login manager, because that feature is actually provided by KDM. KDM has been dropped upstream though, just like Plasma1/KDE4. An upstream feature request for sddm is here btw: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/604 I remember a similar feature request for Plasma5 too (to bring back the selection on the logout screen), but AFAIR the KDE developers responded that this would need support on a lower level (systemd e.g.) first.

Did the functionality get lost by Plasma, or by Grub2? If the latter, and the HD is not GPT, then switch back to Grub, keeping KDM as-is.

Wrong. That's the exact opposite. grub2-once.service *unsets* the boot entry on boot, which was necessary in previous versions on btrfs because grub2 couldn't reset it itself, and that's still the case for LVM I think (but I'm not sure). It doesn't allow to *boot* a specific entry.

The tools grub2-once and grub2-reboot. And (as you actually wrote previously) a hibernate script (/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/grub2.sleep) sets a boot entry too (it just calls grub2-once to do so) to prevent booting a different OS when resuming.

Grub2 has not lost this functionality. Grub2 does support choosing an entry for the next boot (since ever it is in openSUSE AFAIR), it offers the tools grub2-once and grub2-reboot for that. It is Plasma that doesn't offer a menu to select the boot entry any more. But as I wrote, that functionality was/is in KDM actually, and it does still work fine (on the KDM login screen). And KDM does not only support grub2, but also grub(1) and lilo. For grub2 it actually does only call grub2-reboot (as KDM's backend runs as root, it can do that). But again, KDM has been dropped upstream 2 years ago. Plasma5 has no specific support for KDM therefore, and it wouldn't work with other DMs anyway. Btw, it is possible to call KDM's functions via kdmctl, and in theory it should also be possible to instruct it to boot a specific boot menu entry (as user!) via something like "kdmctl shutdown reboot = boot_entry". But I haven't gotten to work this here in a quick test (it keeps saying "noent no such boot option" whatever I try).

Are you sure your using KDM? its no longer the default for KDE sddm is.
When using sddm, log out so that you see the log in screen. Look to the bottom left corner of the screen. You will see different DE options for your reboot.
All I see there is a wrench. Clicking on that only provides different desktop choices, not boot partitions.
Click on the "Shutdown" icon in the bottom *right* corner. You'll find a restart option there that will allow you to choose which grub2 entry to boot. That feature is exclusive to kdm though, sddm does *not* have that, and I don't think any other DM.

While shutdown is there, with the downward "arrow", there is no boot selection there. I had looked at that earlier. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Are you using grub2 or something else? You need to set which boot loader is used in kdm's config. See the BootManager option in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc. Grub2 is the default in openSUSE. It works fine here on 42.2 with grub2, both on KDM's greeter and in Plasma1/KDE4 (which I have installed here alongside Plasma5, compiled myself).

I mean, you should install KDM, set KDM default DM, then logoff and choose the boot option in KDM. Plasma5 and SDDM haven't this feature. James Knott писал 2017-03-10 13:01:

It still possible with KDM.
How? I don't see the option anywhere. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
