I’ve been looking for something like this since moving to Fedora 16. Because the default boot loader configuration no longer works since Fedora made the move to grub2.
Only problem is, is that it will not install on x86_64 systems because of a file conflict between an i686 file and an x86_64 file. Here’s the error:
Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/share/ImageMagick-6.7.1/configure.xml from install of ImageMagick-6.7.1.9-3.fc17.i686 conflicts with file from package
ImageMagick-6.7.1.9-3.fc17.x86_64
So what can I do to get this working?
Why do you have an i686 package installed in a x86_64 system? Can’t you just remove this package?
I have packaged kcm-grub2 and installed, runned systemsettings but i dont see there any new entry to edit grub entries?
It should appear under ‘System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > GRUB2 Bootloader’.
Yes i see it now, but if i run as regular user than outputs:
No valid GRUB2/BURG instalation could be detected!
It only appears if running systemsettings as root, and it should appear as regular user and if there were some changes ask for root password.
Which distribution do you use? You shouldn’t launch System Settings as root, normally it only asks for password when reading/saving settings.
