Description Bogdan Gruescu 2012-12-16 21:03:55 CET 
I've just performed a clean GNOME install using boot-nonfree.iso, opting for grub2 as bootloader (tried to customize it at installation time, after reboot I saw that the change was not preserved). Installation went apparently fine and system also boot well with grub2.

In the installed system, when opening MCC - 'Set up boot system' I see <No bootloader found, creating a new configuration> (screenshot attached).

After pressing "OK" button it is possible to reconfigure boot options there and select grub2 as bootloader, but this configuration is not preserved (that is, on a subsequent attempt to change the boot configuration, the same error <No bootloader found, creating a new configuration> shows up).

That's because we have just started grub2 support integration, and more work is still needed...

what about use grub-customizer inside drakboot for grub2 ?
Comment 4 Bogdan Gruescu 2012-12-16 21:50:41 CET 
I knew that grub2 support is work in progress, take your time ... just wanted to be sure you are aware about the described situation (maybe include it as a known issue if you release Beta1 now). Keep up the good work!

Found no option how to do that, please provide more details. However, I installed and opened grub-customizer, and at the heading 'os-prober' I deselected two entries, saved configuration and reboot. The change was preserved.

Fixed with 15.21 tools that should be uploaded today

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 8 Bogdan Gruescu 2013-02-26 19:38:14 CET 
Well, it's better with 15.21, but despite making changes to the boot menu entries, at reboot the same standard configuration is displayed (it seems that changes are not saved). Perhaps more work is needed to make it fully functional.
