 Posted: Mon May 13, 2024 8:29 pm Post subject: gentoo-kernel stopped updating grub.cfg |
 |
|
| I've been using gentoo-kernel for awhile and it always updated /boot/grub/grub.cfg for me. I recently emerged 6.6.30 but it doesn't seem to have updated grub.cfg. Did this behavior change by design? |

| Should enabling the systemd USE flag on installkernel restore the behavior I described? |

my apologies - i only speak OpenRC 
also from wiki:

Systemd's kernel-install can not only install kernels (kernel-install add), it can also handle kernel removal (kernel-install remove). If kernel-install is installed it will automatically be called by eclean-kernel. |

| It turns out I am also on openrc. Do you know how to restore this behavior on openrc? That wiki page doesn't mention openrc unfortunately. |

| As I read the news article, users of sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel will still have installkernel installed. OP indicated that he uses sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel. Therefore, while my first inclination would be to expect that this is yet another thread where someone removed installkernel, that does not seem to be the case. |

installkernel is installed. It turns out all I had to do was enable USE="grub".
Assuming I should set USE="grub" globally, where is that done these days? |

If you have a KDE/Plasma system then you might enable it globally ... there are not many packages which uses this Use-flag:
| Code: | # euse -i grub
global use flags (searching: grub)

| Ok it looks like global USE still goes in make.conf. I didn't have one in there so I thought it might have moved. |

Any USE can go in package.use or in make.conf. It is how you want it applied to either system-wide (make.conf) or per package (package.use).
A "global USE" just means it has a default description across multiple packages. |
