Need to enter boot menu when startup

[pmb]

(i’ve been using eos for about a week or two and really enjoying it)

sometimes after an update it asks me to reboot and when i do it won’t boot up - i need to enter the fn key to see the boot menu and then select ‘eufi os’. Is there something i should do to make it auto boot into eos? Also, i wonder why it asks me to reboot maybe 50% of the time after installing updates. MX linux almost never required a reboot, i guess this is because arch is ‘bleeding edge’ and the system is more frequently updated in a ‘significant’ way? Although ubuntu would ask me to reboot around 25% of the time, ie somewhere between eos and mx

Probably cos you’ve updated system packages (kernel etc). I only update once a week to fortnight and just before I’m ready to shutdown/cease use for the day.
As for the other issue I’m not too sure sorry.

Post the output of:

sudo parted -l

This is your EnOS’ systemd boot manager. It looks OK to me.

Not sure if reinstalling it would make any difference but you might want to give it a shot:

sudo bootctl install

Reboot and check:

reboot

If you are still not seeing systemd’s boot menu, post:

cat /efi/loader/loader.conf

I am not using systemd-boot at the moment but perhaps it gives other members some clue.
