Re: Manually installed grub (no bls) doesn't update entries automatically on kernel install or removal.

 Thanks, Tom.

 Currently it seems grub uses /etc/default/grub to generate grub.cfg, as usual, but I had
a look at /boot/loader/entries/<my kernel>.conf and the nouveau driver blacklisting
(for I installed the proprietary driver) is there. So probably the boot loader uses both
files. As such, until the works are very clear for me, I wont mess with anything.

 And TBH, regarding new kernels, it's better the way it is because since I have to
manually run grub2-mkconfig there's no chance to unknowingly boot in an untested
kernel. 
Hi Sergio,

     I have used grub2-mkconfig/grub2-install since at least F28 as I 
have never liked the menus produced by grubby, and in my view the new 
methodology for generating the grub menus that is in F30 is worse than 
grubby, so I have always used grub2-mkconfig/grub2-install and I have 
always had to run them manually to get the formatting that I want, not 
what grubby was prepared to give me. Since rebuilding my machine I have 
been running Fedora (initially F29 and now F30) in a VM so grub does not 
use UEFI, hence I still have to use the legacy interfacing via 
grub2-mkconfig/grub2-install, both of which I still have to run manually 
to get what I want, and yes, it still reads /etc/default/grub to get it 
configuration options. What I have noticed since moving to the VM 
methodology, and I'm not sure whether its a grub or VM issue, but grub 
no longer acknowledges that there is a graphical theme specification in 
/etc/default/grub.

regards,

Steve
