Details
Description:
If a PC using gummiboot is booted without a keyboard plugged in (i.e. such as on a server), instead of following the options specified in loader.conf, it brings up the gummiboot menu without a time-out (whether one is used or not). If a keyboard is then plugged in while at the menu, the menu can be navigated normally. I don't believe this is intended behaviour, as every other bootloader functions correctly without a keyboard being plugged in (and if it is intended, what's the point of popping up a menu that can only be navigated with the keyboard, as there isn't a keyboard plugged in anyway...) Additional info: * package version(s): 28-1 * config and/or log files etc. loader.conf file: timeout 1 default arch arch.conf file: title Arch Linux linux /vmlinuz-linux initrd /initramfs-linux.img options root=/dev/sda2 rootfstype=ext4 ro add_efi_memmap quiet splash Steps to reproduce: 1. Set-up gummiboot as normal to either use a timeout or boot straight into the OS. Confirm it works as normal with keyboard plugged in. 2. Shut-down system, unplug keyboard. 3. Boot system - watch as menu comes-up without a timeout. |

[18:31] <tomegun> kay__: is this known: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34431 ?
[18:33] <kay__> tomegun: no, seems that efi returns a pressed key, or something if no keyboard is there :)
[18:33] <kay__> tomegun: we might need to fix the logic, maybe it's a different return code ...
It has not been tested as neither Kay nor I have a computer with a detachable keyboard....
