Hi!

[MAGEIA 6 x64] fresh install + updated.

Installed with default Plasma, installation is almost eternally defaults.

Question:

Is there a visual editor for GRUB2?

I think drakboot used to be able to edit list of entries in the boot menu in Mageia 5, but I'm not sure.
Somehow, I used to be able to periodically remove long list of old kernels in the GRUB menu in Mageia 5, but I cannot remember how.

(Sorry for third thread in the row, got a new HD and decided to install Mageia 6 x64 and gradually move all stuff here, but ...)

One could think along the lines of "grub-customizer".

Code: Select all

urpmi grub-customizer

Thanks!

yes, you could remove the grub entries, but the kernels remained on the system.

if you do the following :
open mcc and enter *kernel* in the search window. (if nothing is returned, be sure to have the two radio buttons beside the search window set to *all*)
just un-check all those extra kernels bar the next to latest one ( just in case there is something untowards with your current one)
*apply* to remove them
then as root in a teminal:

Code: Select all

# update-grub2

this will update your grub menu

Thanks!
