[01:59] <funkyHat> Anyone know how I'd go about configuring /etc/grub.d/ so that -rt kernels are chosen as the default if present?
[02:10] <holstein> hey funkh
[02:11] <holstein> funkyHat: *
[02:11] <funkyHat> Hi ⡈)
[02:11] <holstein> you got grub2 right?
[02:13] <funkyHat> Yeah
[02:13] <holstein> by the way, i never heard from anybody using lash yet :/
[02:13] <holstein> ubottu: grub2
[02:13] <ubottu> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[02:13] <holstein> do you see grub funkyHat?
[02:13] <holstein> or is it hidden?
[02:14] <funkyHat> I've already changed the settings so I can see it
[02:14] <holstein> OK
[02:14] <funkyHat> Well, I've put it on a hidden 3 second timeout
[02:14] <funkyHat> So I can press esc. and it'll appear
[02:15] <holstein> its all about that /etc/default/grub fil
[02:15] <holstein> e
[02:15] <funkyHat> The problem with setting GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub is every time a new kernel is installed that will change
[02:16] <holstein> yeah
[02:16] <holstein> i usually just deal
[02:16] <holstein> and either reset the default
[02:16] <holstein> or get rid of an older kernel
[02:16] <holstein> i like to keep them around though just in case
[02:17] <holstein> makes me feel safer
[02:17] <funkyHat> Mm, I'm looking at /etc/grub.d/ to see if those scripts can be modified to give -rt kernels a higher priority
[02:17] <holstein> in grub2 AFAIK
[02:17] <holstein> you shouldnt mess with /etc/grub.d
[02:18] <holstein> you just set the default on in /etc/default/grub
[02:18] <funkyHat> No, that's /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[02:18] <holstein> OH
[02:18] <holstein> ok
[02:18] <funkyHat> Messing with /etc/grub.d is fine as long as you know what you're doing
[02:18] <holstein> well, ive only done it that way
[02:18] <funkyHat> Which I don't ;D
[02:19] <holstein> yeah, i was going to say, because im still learning too :)
[02:31] <holstein> funkyHat: how about getting rid of the generic kernel?
[02:31] <holstein> sudo apt-get autoremove linux-generic or something like that
[02:31] <funkyHat> holstein: I'd thought of that, but rather not
[02:32] <holstein> yeah, its good to keep a non RT around
[02:32] <funkyHat> I'd like to have it there as a fallback if there are issues with the -rt kernel I haven't disovered yet
[02:35] <funkyHat> holstein: I've thought of a solution. It means the -rt kernels will be listed twice in the menu
[02:35] <funkyHat> Actually I guess I could make it so that they aren't
[02:41] <funkyHat> holstein: cd /etc/grub.d/ && sudo cp 10_linux 09_linux-rt && sudo sed -i 's:vmlinu[xz]-\*:vmlinu[xz]-*rt:' 09_linux-rt && sudo update-grub
[02:49] <holstein> skillz funkyHat :)
