ukuu will change GRUB configuration #68

Open edmundlaugasson opened 6 years ago

edmundlaugasson commented 6 years ago

Would it be possible that ukuu will just update the kernel but not change the GRUB configuration in /etc/default/grub?

gothicVI commented 6 years ago

Why would you want that? Apart from that, installing headers (I think) triggers grub update automatically.

edmundlaugasson commented 6 years ago

I mean updating GRUB after installing new kernel is fine and must be but changing _GRUBTIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub is not OK. Looks like in file ~/.config/ukuu.json is written _"grubtimeout" : "0" - it would be good to point out that some settings needs attention before running ukuu. Another option is not to change the default value what is mostly expected behaviour. An additional mentions in ukuu --help would be appreciated about that json configuration options. Perhaps ukuu --help-json would be even better solution as the amount of json settings might be longer and not important in first place which options are in ukuu --help written.

I'll add an option for this in the next update.

I too do not see why /etc/default/grub should be touched. That is unexpected and unwelcom. The kernel packages themselves already rebuild /boot.
