[05:37] -queuebot:#lubuntu-devel- Unapproved: calamares-settings-ubuntu (noble-proposed/universe) [1:24.04.38 => 1:24.04.39] (lubuntu, ubuntustudio)
[11:16] <guiverc_qa> https://dpaste.com/BSKHFZT5T
[15:36] <mkukri> finally found the cause of LP: #2060624
[15:36] -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/2060624
[15:37] <mkukri> left 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 config
[15:38] <tsimonq2> mkukri: You're amazing, thank you :)
[15:39] <mkukri> no worries :)
[15:39] <mkukri> also thanks to the guiverc for finding an impossible bug
[15:39] <mkukri> it seems like this existed for a long long time
[15:42] <mkukri> i 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?
[15:47] <tsimonq2> That was my first thought, heh
[15:47] <tsimonq2> mkukri: In what cases do you see it being undesirable?
[15:48] <mkukri> i guess if the user has some wierd grub customizations they want to keep?
[15:48] <mkukri> although those go into /etc/grub ideally
[19:59] <tomreyn> just in case this was missed: https://lubuntu.me currently still says "Version 22.04 new!   Featuring LXQt desktop"
[19:59] <tomreyn> downloads are 24.04 already, and there's the blog post, too
[20:01] <arraybolt3> mmm, that's something we do need to fix
[20:02] <arraybolt3> mkukri, 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?
[22:04] <mkukri> i guess copying it to a bak file or something could be fine
[22:04] <mkukri> and this needs to be fixed seperately in the desktop installer and calamares i guess
[22:39] <guiverc> :)
[23:12] <guiverc> Thank you mkukri for working out issue & great explanation on bug report
