2020-03-23 14:45:48 DanLo description Hello, 30 minutes now that I was trying to change default boot option with Grub-customizer. I just noticed why it did not worked : the entries G-U was giving to me did not correspond to the actual entry choices I had during boot. What G-U displayed : (sorry it's in french but you should be ok) > Ubuntu > Option Avancées pour Ubuntu > > Ubuntu, with Linux 5.3.0-40-lowlatency > > Ubuntu, with Linux 5.3.0-40-lowlatency (recovery mode) > > [Many other kernel choices] > System Setup Problem is, I am not on Ubuntu, but Linux Mint 19 Xfce. And consequently, during boot the menu displays the following options : > Linux Mint 19 Xfce > Option Avancées pour Linux Mint 19 Xfce > > Linux Mint 19 Xfce, with Linux 5.3.0-40-lowlatency > > Linux Mint 19 Xfce, with Linux 5.3.0-40-lowlatency (recovery mode) > > Linux Mint 19 Xfce, with Linux 4.19.94-40 > > Linux Mint 19 Xfce, with Linux 4.19.94-40 (recovery mode) > > [Many other kernel choices] > System Setup It is also the result I get from a : > grep "menuentry" /boot/grub/grub.cfg First line of the results here is (just for illustration) : "menuentry 'Linux Mint 19 Xfce' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux [...]" This being noticed, I selected from drop down menu "Option Avancées pour Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.19.94-40", but the correct choice SHOULD be : "Option Avancées pour Linux Mint 19 Xfce>Linux Mint 19 Xfce, with Linux 4.19.94-40", that's why it was not working. My conclusion is : The parsing that is made to generate the menu entry list is not on the correct location, and should probably obtain such information from /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Where is actually made such parsing (which file ?), so that I could understand better or maybe find the issue on my system ?
