| realtime-neil | How to I get an ubuntu installation to appear as anything but "ubuntu" in the efibootmgr? | 19:58 |
|---|---|---|
| CarlFK | realtime-neil: there is a cli util that can rename it.. would that work for you? | 20:02 |
| realtime-neil | I think so; is it efibootmgr? :D | 20:03 |
| CarlFK | efibootmgr - manipulate the EFI Boot Manager | 20:03 |
| CarlFK | yep | 20:03 |
| realtime-neil | Why that's _exactly_ the tool my firmware vendor is ignoring! :D | 20:03 |
| CarlFK | reading the man page, it may not rename... | 20:04 |
| realtime-neil | Well, I'm sure deleting and re-creating would do the trick -- if my firmware wasn't preventing me from doing that, too. | 20:05 |
| CarlFK | i'm guessing you should grep the installer sources for efibootmgr, and hopefully find -L | --label LABEL | 20:09 |
| CarlFK | Boot manager display label (defaults to "Linux") | 20:09 |
| realtime-neil | CarlFK: how would one grep just those sources? Is that something I could do at codesearch.debian.net ? | 21:36 |
| CarlFK | realtime-neil: i would get the sources locally. little surprised you don't have them already. git clone ... and then "grep -rRecurisve/something ..." or I now use ack so I don't have to remember the grep flags | 21:37 |
| CarlFK | "grep the installer sources" ... aka do a string search over all the files in all the dirs | 21:38 |
| realtime-neil | CarlFK: to be clear, am I getting the sources for d-i, grub2, or efibootmgr | 21:38 |
| CarlFK | d-i | 22:27 |
| CarlFK | I have https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer | 22:27 |
| CarlFK | debian-installer$ ack efibootmgr | 22:28 |
| CarlFK | nothing | 22:28 |
| CarlFK | boo. | 22:28 |
| CarlFK | I poked around, I'm sure there is some clue, like something in build/config/x86.cfg gets passed to grub-install | 22:37 |
| CarlFK | i give up. | 22:38 |
| realtime-neil | CarlFK: well, shucks; thanks for trying, at any rate | 22:54 |
| mwhudson | try grub-installer maybe? | 23:23 |
