[Solved] Multi-boot distros missing from GRUB after a recent update

#1 Post by debian-2019 »

After a recent update all the other distros (including Windows) in my multiboot setup are now missing in the GRUB menu. Only Debian 12 is present in the GRUB menu. I think I made a mistake checking both selection boxes during the update. I selected /sda and /sda7 (where Debian 12 resides).

Is there a way to safely recover the original GRUB menu?

I have found the fix...

First, I found out I needed to edit the grub config file:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/default/grub
...Inside the file, I enabled the line that says...

Code: Select all

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

...That's it. And then I updated the grub:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

Upon reboot of the machine, all the missing boot paritions are back. :D
