I'm having a problem where when I select the OS to
boot grub boots into something else.I want to boot
into fedora 30 but grub boots KDE Neon instead. Here's
some relevant parts from the grub.cfg.
Code:
menuentry 'Fedora 30 (Workstation Edition) (on /dev/sdb3)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-5a656eb7-fffd-47da-aac6-f312af550ac6' {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd1,gpt3'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd1,gpt3 --hint-efi=hd1,gpt3 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,gpt3 5a656eb7-fffd-47da-aac6-f312af550ac6
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 5a656eb7-fffd-47da-aac6-f312af550ac6
fi
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.7-200.fc30.x86_64 root=/dev/sdb3
initrd /boot/initramfs-5.3.7-200.fc30.x86_64.img
}
and
Code:
menuentry 'KDE neon User Edition 5.17 (18.04) (on /dev/sda3)' --class neon --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-02057186-e22d-4227-a1eb-55d50de8916e' {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,gpt3'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt3 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt3 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt3 02057186-e22d-4227-a1eb-55d50de8916e
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 02057186-e22d-4227-a1eb-55d50de8916e
fi
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.0.0-36-generic root=UUID=02057186-e22d-4227-a1eb-55d50de8916e ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.0.0-36-generic
}
Ok, so I pick fedora and after a bit the KDE Neon login
screen comes up. The first time I saw this I thought
I must have made a mistake in picking but no it happens
every time. Also there seems to be some strange mixture
of Fedora and KDE Neon. While Neon was running I thought
well I'm going to go ahead and compile a wireless driver
for it that I need for my tplink device(for Neon). I started
the make and it complained about a fedora folder being
missing. The tplink make thought it was on fedora even though
everything else says KDE Neon!
I just don't understand what is going on. I'm fairly
knowledgeable with years of Linux experience but lately
it's been throwing me curves.
I've looked at what grub expects to load using the "e"
key to see what it is going to use and everything looks
proper. Everything fedora but KDE Neon loads instead.
Does anybody have any ideas how this can happen?
Oh, and I looked and it's the Neon kernel showing in /boot.
