I encountered the same problem of not being able to run the command “#update-grub” So, I created the command following the instructions below and it works! bash: update-grub: command not found So I manually created one as below: sudo nano /usr/sbin/update-grub This will create a new empty file. Type the following in the empty file: #!/bin/sh set -e exec grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg “$@” save the file and exit. Then I ran in the terminal: sudo chown root:root /usr/sbin/update-grub sudo chmod 755 /usr/sbin/update-grub This way I manually created an update-grub command just like many other distributions. Then I ran: sudo update-grub ---

This is not how you update grub on an Arch based system. Those are ubuntu based commands! Edit: Please use the following. ```auto sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ``` Edit2: Please refer to the Arch Wiki [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB) Edit: Sorry i misunderstood your post at first as i skimmed only the first few lines. I see what you did after realizing you couldn’t use sudo update-grub. 😉 ---

welcome on the forum @diyako indeed creating the script manually will work in the same way … you could also use an alias in your terminalRC or use the script by installing from AUR: `yay -S update-grub` ```auto aur/update-grub 0.0.1-7 (+93 2.48) Simple wrapper around grub-mkconfig ``` In addition, keep in mind to not post in year old posts… it will get lost and it is always recommended to open a new post instead. ---

What is the set -e to make it executable? I thought the exec does that? I’m bash illiterate! 😅 ---

I don’t RTFM. 🕶 Edit: Okay… -e Exit immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status. ---
