Description Klaus Kämpf 2013-10-17 14:20:30 UTC

Calling update-bootloader --reinit runs grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig, both capturing output to /var/log/YaST2/y2log_bootloader.

Bug: The second call (grub2-mkconfig) does not append (>>) but overwrites (>) the log file. This bug might also be true for other shell commands run by update-bootloader.

Comment 1 Steffen Winterfeldt 2013-10-18 06:20:32 UTC

y2log_bootloader is only a temporary file. All commands are logged in perl-BL-standalone-log resp. /var/log/pbl.log. Look for Core::RunCommand.

Ah, this is not visible from looking at y2log. There one only sees the simple redirection :-/

Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2013-10-18 06:53:14 UTC

I don't understand. The complete log is also written to y2log.
