Hi @crigoda, that option is there already in the UI. Why do you need it to be set via console?
Hi clefebre,
Well, the origin of my problem is that the UI option only disable GRUB configuration "grub-install" ~line 627 in installer.py. But this don't disable the installation of the bootloader packages ~ line 118 in installer.py. The installed packages are the following: pool/main/g/grub2/grub-efi pool/main/g/grub-efi-amd64-signed/ pool/main/s/shim/ and this is the grub-efi-amd64 package postinst that made my system freeze.
Searching for a solution, I found that Ubuntu/Mint has a --no-bootloader option but this was absent from LDME. As this option disable completly the bootloader packages installation, not only grub configuration, I think this is a very expert option.
Shouldn't we just make the UI option disable both instead?
It's another good solution. Do you prefer this way ? If yes, I can make te change and test it. Do you think the text of UI option should be updated ?
I don't think any label needs to be updated. I more or less consider these things all the same concept, and disabling it should disable all of it.
Hi,
I added the option "--no-botloader" to the live-installer. This option only disable the installation of the grub-efi-* packages. This is useful for users like me that ran into a system freeze when theose packages are installed by the installer.
