This line is bad on two counts:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="...La gentilezza viene sempre prima della fiducia. Proverbio africano"
It is broken in two lines, and it is supposed to be short, no spaces - example:
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="mauro_machine"
This other is also bad:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash=silent plymouth.enable=0 resume=/dev/disk/by-label/Leap_swap elevator=NOOP mitigations=auto"
It is broken in two.
This seems to have been caused by editing with an editor that wrapped long lines, not by YaST.
You are right, sorry, it was Vim. Or Kate. Now I attach the file as you say; as you can see this one is even worse than the previous one :) The result you can see it here: https://paste.opensuse.org/10853036
It is so small that I can not read the text at the top. The file is bad, the: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="shortstring" must be indeed a short string, not two lines.
I'm afraid the picture is not that great, I've taken it with a camera, not knowing if it's possible to do a screenshot at the grub bootscreen, and furthermore I have scaled it more than necessary (it seems that susepaste takes images max 1024K)
Maybe, I don't know for sure. Depends on the time to survive. The other day I posted a 382K photo for two months. It is not the scale you have to reduce, but the resolution. The pixels per cm/inch.
What I didn't know is that the Yast grub module fails to read such a file, while with grub it perfectly works. I have only checked GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="mao_machine" and so long Yast module works here ok. Each day we learn something is a good day, many many thanks
I'm surprised that Grub works. Maybe it seems to work, but things fail later, like the UEFI boot menu. Andrei will know better what the limitations are, if he is still reading this :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
