mkukrifinally found the cause of LP: #206062415:36
-ubottu:#lubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2060624 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "lubuntu/xubuntu reinstall (& install) on dual boot system, grub does appear & offer OS choice" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/206062415:36
mkukrileft an explanation on the ticket, absolutele nightmare bug, took days to debug. now we just need a solution, with a no-reformat re-install grub-mkconfig needs to know that it is not a normal config re-generation and to ignore the existing config15:37
tsimonq2mkukri: You're amazing, thank you :)15:38
mkukrino worries :)15:39
mkukrialso thanks to the guiverc for finding an impossible bug15:39
mkukriit seems like this existed for a long long time15:39
mkukrii guess the easiest fix is for the installer to nuke the grub data from disk before reinstalling, but that might be undesirable for some cases?15:42
tsimonq2That was my first thought, heh15:47
tsimonq2mkukri: In what cases do you see it being undesirable?15:47
mkukrii guess if the user has some wierd grub customizations they want to keep?15:48
mkukrialthough those go into /etc/grub ideally15:48
tomreynjust in case this was missed: https://lubuntu.me currently still says "Version 22.04 new!   Featuring LXQt desktop"19:59
tomreyndownloads are 24.04 already, and there's the blog post, too19:59
arraybolt3mmm, that's something we do need to fix20:01
arraybolt3mkukri, tsimonq2: I have been known to, uh, write grub.cfg from scratch in some corner cases :P That being said just usual GRUB updates are liable to wipe out stunts like that so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe back up the existing file?20:02
mkukrii guess copying it to a bak file or something could be fine22:04
mkukriand this needs to be fixed seperately in the desktop installer and calamares i guess22:04
