Add support for Pop!_OS #30

Closed hackerncoder closed 4 years ago

Cxarli commented 4 years ago

First of all thanks for forking the original repo. I really loved the tool and I'm glad to see someone is willing to maintain it for a bit longer.

Having said that, the latest Pop!_OS iso does not contain a loopback.cfg file (also see https://github.com/pop-os/iso/issues/243 and https://github.com/aguslr/multibootusb/pull/159 ), so this does not work, sadly.

What worked for me was to manually copy the entry¹ from grub.cfg from the ISO to boot/grub/mbusb.d/pop-os.d/generic.cfg but that will break on the following release, so it would be nice to see if we can fix this in a generic way. If there is no such way, please remove this file to avoid confusion (it jumps back when you try to select the entry in the boot screen).

Hey @Cxarli! Thanks, would you mind moving it to a issue? I actually don't know much about grub and these files, but I might look into it.
