New grub updates

Usually the update of package grub goes without issue.
The pacman output will inform you to run commands
grub-install and grub-mkconfig with their proper parameters.

If you are not sure what to do exactly, here’s some tips when grub updates:

  • Look at your install log at /var/log, file endeavour-install.log or Calamares.log. Search for grub-install in either of the log files, it will tell you how grub was installed originally. With this info you can create the proper grub-install command.
    Note that this applies only if you haven’t changed the bootloader stuff in any way.
  • For EFI systems, simple grub-install --no-nvram might be enough too.

If you happen to reboot the system before doing the things above, you may need to arch-chroot into the installed system and use the tips above.
See our wiki (Discovery) pages about how to arch-chroot.
