You can always run it with the command 'kcmshell4 kcm_grub2'. If that fails, then it's not installed. - Jan 12 2014

I guess there used to be a Windows installation there and some hidden boot files/folders have remained, thus making os-prober create this useless entry. Try reformatting the partition or manually removing these files/folders. - Jul 18 2013

Debian
Debian (recovery)
memtest
Windows
and you want Windows to be the default. If you specify the entry by number and another kernel pops in the menu like this:
Debian
Debian (recovery)
Debian old kernel
memtest
Windows
your default will become memtest and you'll all be like "wtf!?". Instead, specifying by name always makes sure the same entry is booted and if you want it changed, you can always do it manually.
Perhaps I should introduce an option "Specify by position in the menu" (next to the list box)? - Jun 30 2012

At the time of packaging libpackagekit-qt.so was available, but due to to the rolling-release system of openSUSE Factory, it was removed at some point.
Next version will address this issue. - May 12 2012

Explanation:
Gentoo hides the GRUB executables (grub-install, grub-mkconfig, grub-probe, grub-set-default) from the user's PATH, so technically we can't discover a GRUB installation.
Solutions:
Either compile from git,
or if you really can't wait for the next release, create symlinks to the above executables visible to the user running the following commands (as root):
Quote:
ln -s /usr/sbin/grub2-install /usr/bin/grub2-install
ln -s /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig /usr/bin/grub2-mkconfig
ln -s /usr/sbin/grub2-probe /usr/bin/grub2-probe
ln -s /usr/sbin/grub2-set-default /usr/bin/grub2-set-default

FYI I am currently using the qml plasmoid which seems cleaner although feature-less. Auto-hiding (passive state), manually checking e-mails and a cleaner interface (tooltip shows "Threads" currently when hovered with 0 e-mails) are my reccommendations. I would need no more from such a plasmoid.
Why did you drop auto-hiding? - Jan 31 2012

Quote:
sudo ln -s /sbin/grub2-mkconfig /usr/bin/grub-mkconfig
sudo ln -s /sbin/grub2-set-default /usr/bin/grub-set-default
Also point the application to the right configuration files:
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg instead of /boot/grub/grub.cfg,
/boot/grub2/grubenv instead of /boot/grub/grubenv
The next version will include a fix for this. I am sorry for the inconvenience, but there hasn't been any testing/feedback on Fedora other than yours :) - Dec 31 2011

If this is reproducible to you, can you please post your /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg (using http://paste.kde.org would be nice). Also mention your kcm-grub2 version and installation source.
Thanks! - May 10 2011

I too am making use of 40_custom but adding custom entries from within the UI won't be implemented any time soon. Other features are more important at the moment. - May 01 2011

Regarding the second question, what would be the use of such a feature? Other than disabling memtest on Kubuntu I can't think of anything else. - May 01 2011

Thanks for your package once again, just a few tips: when building use the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release switch like this:
Quote:cmake ~/path/to/source -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
This strips debug symbols from the shared module/binary and makes the package a lot smaller.
Moreover, you are missing some dependencies:
Build-Depends: cmake, kdelibs5-dev (>= 4:4.4.0), libmagickcore-dev, libmagick++-dev, libhd-dev, libqapt-dev
Depends: kdebase-runtime (>= 4:4.4.0), grub-common, libmagickcore3, libmagick++3, libhd16, libqapt-runtime
That's the full dependency list to enable all available features.
Once again thanks :) - May 01 2011

You can try both (not at the same time because I think they conflict) and pick the one that best fits your needs. - Apr 01 2011
I'm also working on a GRUB2 KCModule, in case you haven't noticed (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/GRUB2+Bootloader+KCModule?content=139643) and I encounter the same issues with you. If you want my opinion, go for a separate read-slot in your helper and set it's permissions to "yes" (invoked without asking password). This mechanism is designed like this to allow administrators easily tweak such options and it doesn't break stuff whatsoever. - Mar 26 2011
Quote:chmod 400 ${grub_cfg}.new || grub_warn "Could not make ${grub_cfg}.new readable by only root.\
This means that if the generated config contains a password it is readable by everyone"
Plus, system administrators wouldn't really like messing with their file permissions. - Mar 26 2011

It is another GRUB2 KCModule but it's written in Python and more simplified I would say.
I've been quite some time on this idea though (have read tons of GRUB2 documentation) and didn't want to waste all this effort, so I published this KCModule, along with the other one, owned by user kbios. - Mar 11 2011

http://paste.kde.org/7050/
The result is: https://pithos.grnet.gr/pithos/rest/ece7626@upatras.gr/files/kcm_grub2-0.2.0.deb
I don't know if it's working, I can't test since I am on Arch. However I must note that the dependencies are definitely wrong (needs KDE>=4.4) and the architecture is not properly set. - Mar 11 2011
