[opensuse] OS 12.2 KDE and reboot options
Hi, I just upgraded my OS 12.1 installation to OS 12.2 on my dual boot (Win 7 and OS) system and everything went smoothly. The bootloader seems to still be GRUB 0.97 while I expected 2.0 but that is really not a big deal. What I have lost (and miss) are the options that I used to get when I clicked long on the "restart computer" button. I used to see the list of the GRUB partitions displayed and had the choice to select what partition I wanted to boot back in (for example reboot in Win7). Is there any way to restore that functionality? Thanks, /~JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I lost that a long time ago in 12.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I found the solution on my own. For anybody interested: Under Configure Desktop > Login Screen > Shutdown select the boot manager that you are using in the drop-down box under "Miscellaneous" (for me it was "grub"). Logout. Login. Next time you click and hold "restart" you should see the grub boot options menu. /~JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
