You're right, either things have changed since the days I used GRUB |
| 17 |
extensively or I am losing it. No, that's not a multiple choice question! |

Have you tried running the script with "sh -x" to see just what it is |
| 20 |
doing? I wonder if it could be this part |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
if ! command -v os-prober > /dev/null || ! command -v linux-boot-prober >/dev/null ; then |
| 23 |
# missing os-prober and/or linux-boot-prober |
| 24 |
exit 0 |
| 25 |
fi |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If the os-prober command is missing the script will fail successfully, as |
| 28 |
you experience. Is sys-boot/os-prober installed? |
