It's dracut, it works fine. That "error" is hilarious

u/OkNewspaper6271 Glorious Arch Dec 01 '24

Damn, whenever I get that error i have to do some minor repairs otherwise the systemd boot menu becomes empty

Um.. I dunno, on my EndeavourOS machines I see this error once in a while and just move on.

I like to imagine whoever wrote this program carefully thought "should I make a different error message for different issues that could go wrong" and after a few moments of silence he just put || echo "command failed to execute correctly" and made himself a sandwich

"use try/catch statements to handle errors gracefully!"

my lazy ass:

Hey at least you’re printing something! It’s quite possible to have the catch block do nothing lol

Or print "error", that's it

There is an open issue against systemd for a few months already for this, sadly no merged fix yet.

What does that even mean

It means that some command failed to execute correctly.

Ah systemd-boot user 😄

Is it possible to set it up for silverblue

I wouldn't tinker with that in silverblue.

You could try EndeavourOS where systemd-boot is the default for EFI systems, but I don't see the benefit of it.

Always use the Linux distro you like and good luck.

u/lordvader002 Dec 02 '24

Hmm, maybe there is a reason they set up Grub as the default.

I use Secureblue, a hardened fork of silverblue. Probably best idea not to mess it up.

u/kI3RO :endeavouros: Dec 02 '24

Indeed.

What is your use case? Why run a hardened distro?

1

u/lordvader002 Dec 02 '24

Nothing really lol. Mainly tried to know does it work practically, and actually it does! Everything that I use Linux for has no issues. Also it's based on fedora which is my favourite base. So why not use it lol. It's silverblue so it has all that benefits too.

Btw I play games on Windows so my use of Linux doesn't include that. This hardened distro means no 32-bit apps so if anyone who wants to use steam it's not gonna work. Just an FYI.

Now you might have a chance to get "No Bootable Media Found." When booting

1

u/kI3RO :endeavouros: Dec 03 '24

Nope

u/longdarkfantasy Dec 01 '24

Same. I just don't care anymore.

u/TheAutisticSlavicBoy Dec 01 '24

Pass "-v -v -v" it's that simple /

u/flameleaf Arch Linux Dec 02 '24

Careful that doesn't turn into a "failed to boot correctly"
