Hi guys, been with EndeavourOS for a year and just loving it. Most stable distro I’ve ever had, and I’ve been distro-hopping for years.
Now to my issue: a few months ago I installed “grub customizer” from the repo and it’s been working fine. Lately, however, arch decided to disable os-prober and this wasn’t a problem until I installed MX-Linux on my other drive. I ran grub customizer to add it automatically to grub but got error messages. Tried to add the line to grub.cfg about re-enabling os-prober but it didn’t work, probably bc grub customizer took over grub and created its own config files.
So, I thought it would be better to remove grub customizer completely and restore old vanilla grub, and maybe from there re-enable os-prober. Any step-by-step directions to do this in a smooth and straightforward way?
Please perform the steps described in the post below to rebuild the Grub environment:
Note that if you are on MBR/Legacy boot you need to adapt the step 6 to install the bootloader into MBR of your disk.
After reboot, if everything is well, uninstall Grub Customizer and remove the .old remains. Btw, if I remember correctly, MX Linux uses a modified Grub which can create a correct entry in grub.cfg for Arch-based systems so you could use that also, if you wish so, to boot your EnOS.
Great, many thanks!
And yes, MX-Linux can boot my EndeavourOS system, but I wanted first to clean my EnOS grub configuration and learn in the process.
Cheers!
