[Testing - Bookworm] [SOLVED][Testing - Bookworm] OS-PROBER issue

#1 Post by ticojohn »

I just did an update on Bookworm and there was a question about keeping the os-prober configuration or updating to the maintainers version. Like a dummy I answered Yes (default is No) :oops: and now the /boot/grub/grub.cfg has two entries for the second os. How can I correct this error on my part?

I found the problem. Obviously a user error. There were two os-prober entries in /etc/grub.d. I think that for some reason os-prober had not been installed when I upgraded from Bullseye and when I installed the package it was put in /etc/grub.d . So when I did the latest upgrade and answered Yes to the os-prober question it installed the os-prober as /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober, hence the system was running os-prober twice. :oops: :oops: :oops:

So, I deleted /etc/grub.d/os-prober (leaving 30_os-prober) did an update-grub and now all is well in Ticoville.
