update-grub: command not found, in OpenSuse 11.2
 
OpenSuse 11.2

Code:
anisha@linux-uitj:~> sudo update-grub
sudo: update-grub: command not found
Am I missing some point here?

Edited my post. Didn't see the OpenSuse at the top.....My bad!

From memory those are Debian specific scripts. In classic grub they don't exit - grub2 came out of (predominantly) Ubuntu, so they exist for it.

What version of grub?

Absolute path to 'grub' is '/usr/sbin/grub', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).
Running grub gets me a shell, I don't know how to know the version, I read the man too,
but where to run that version command?

It seems you are correct, those commands worked in Mint but act like aliens
in Suse,

I found this: http://www.novell.com/documentation/...l/ch07s04.html

But I am not able to understand from the above link, which one corresponds to
update-grub?

I can't try them all without understanding what they do.

Hello Anisha,

This should give you the version:
Code:
sudo grub-setup --version
At least it did for me:
Code:
grub-setup (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-14
Sure there are other ways but this is one. Hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Eric

I'm not sure what suse's package manager is but in debian I've used "apt-get install grub-pc".
Grub2 is a dummy package grub-pc is grub2.

LOL, You have to be kidding!!

Can you echo your PATH as sudo and post that please?
Code:
sudo echo $PATH
Or even this:
Code:
sudo ls /usr/sbin | grep grub
Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Check /usr/sbin for grub, as indicated in my 'edited' post.

Kind regards,

Eric

Do you have an Ubuntu-live-cd desktop version?

Wow, this shows something interesting :) Thanks Eric.
Code:
anisha@linux-uitj:~> sudo ls /usr/sbin | grep grub
grub
grub-install
grub-install.unsupported
grub-md5-crypt
grubonce
grub-set-default
anisha@linux-uitj:~>
But how to update Grub?
I found the following quote from the link in post: 5,
Quote:
Any manual change to the device.map file requires that you update your GRUB installation. Use the following command:

grub --batch --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map < /etc/grub.conf
I am not sure it means what I think it means?!?

Thanks, but I have a Mint Live CD, and I know these commands would work with Mint,
but in case something goes wrong I need to find out what works with Suse!

EDDY1 02-23-2011 03:19 AM
You're welcome.
Before you follow the link from post# 5 remember that it refers to grub not grub2.
You'll need documentation for grub2.
