Clarification needed. Is that the 10 day of February of 2018?
No no... Oct 2, 2018 in Yankee format.
Well... as we are here from many countries, a date like that is not clear, better use the ISO standard >:-)
Updates dated 2018-10-02 in /etc/grub cause os-prober to run when it has not run in the year prior adding a windows entry to my grub.cfg? This is completely unwanted behavior. What changed?
Then new question: what are you using? 42.3, 15.0, Tw?
os-prober was installed automatically when Leap 42.3 was installed, but has been well-behaved up until these 2018-10-02 updates. Why was this changed?
Is it better to rpm -e os-prober? Or, can /etc/default/grub be trusted not to be overwritten so that GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true" will be respected going forward?
If you do not want os-prober to run, you have to disable it. That entry in grub config should work; has worked for me always. Otherwise an update of grub, which I think usually triggers a grub rerun, will also do an os-prober run- -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
