Hi,
I have just used dnf to put on the currently available
maintenance in F38, having not put any on for a week or so,
after upgrading from F37 via dnf system-upgrade a couple
of weeks ago.
After putting on the maintenance I used grub2-mkconfig
to build the grub.cfg file and got the message below after it
notified of finding the linux kernels, does anyone know what
this means and why they are being produced from the
released version of grub2-mkconfig, the process I ran after
the maintenance I put on a week or so ago did not produce
these messages?
fgrep: warning: fgrep is obsolescent; using grep -F
/usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig --help
[...]
Report bugs to <bug-grub(a)gnu.org>.
I haven't seen this warning since before COVID. There are lots of grub2-X
scripts, it would be useful to identify the culprit.
Maybe replace the current fgrep script with one that prints more details.
Did a quick check on my system with Fedora 37.
In /etc/grub.d
for a in *; do echo $a; grep "fgrep" <$a; done
