ukuu will change GRUB configuration

Open edmundlaugasson opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Would it be possible that ukuu will just update the kernel but not change the GRUB configuration in /etc/default/grub?

Why would you want that? Apart from that, installing headers (I think) triggers grub update automatically.

I mean updating GRUB after installing new kernel is fine and must be but changing GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub is not OK. Looks like in file ~/.config/ukuu.json is written "grub_timeout" : "0" - it would be good to point out that some settings needs attention before running ukuu. Another option is not to change the default value what is mostly expected behaviour. An additional mentions in ukuu --help would be appreciated about that json configuration options. Perhaps ukuu --help-json would be even better solution as the amount of json settings might be longer and not important in first place which options are in ukuu --help written.

I'll add an option for this in the next update.

I too do not see why /etc/default/grub should be touched. That is unexpected and unwelcom. The kernel packages themselves already rebuild /boot.
