| eyeoh | I've been reading that massive gnu grub manual; currently up to this part: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#Device-map | 03:01 |

| eyeoh | re: not using uuid. Meanwhile, just trying to understand grub better so that I can figure out this encrypted btrfs dual boot situation | 03:02 |
| eyeoh | lol: "Currently autogenerating config files for multi-boot environments depends on os-prober and has several shortcomings. Due to that it is disabled by default. It is advised to use the power of GRUB syntax and do it yourself." | 03:21 |
| eyeoh | that's very https://xkcd.com/149/ | 03:21 |
| guiverc | eyeoh, Ubuntu carries patches on os-prober that keep the older default of grub for most installs.. (its upstream default if a single OS install is detected as no need then.. but there is a install case where that can be incorrect) | 11:12 |
| eyeoh | I persisted for days trying to migrate my ext4 system to btrfs the 'elegant' want, but ended up just rsyncing from the old volume to the new one and it works now | 12:06 |
| eyeoh | couldn't get my head around the combination of fstab, grub and initramfs. I thought I was getting very close but weird things started happening like the system still choosing the commented out luks partition | 12:07 |
| eyeoh | but that's all past now | 12:07 |
| eyeoh | I think everything is working now; except for deleting fprintd entries which don't seem to be deleting | 12:07 |
| eyeoh | hmm one moment; I have an idea | 12:08 |
| eyeoh | here's some of the fun that has culminated today after days of being so confused (well, more confused about grub than anything else): https://i.imgur.com/6QkW2si.png - but at least now I understand how this works a lot more than this time last week | 18:06 |
