Details

Description:

It seems ostree needs some patches as Archlinux is using grub instead of grub2. The function grub2-generate somehow doesn't fine a directory. Therefore it fails and prevents any other script like 30-os-prober from executing.

Additional info:
* ostree 2016.5-2, grub 1:2.02.beta2-6
* file which creates the issue: /etc/grub.d/15_ostree


Steps to reproduce:

Simply call 'sudo ostree admin instutil grub2-generate'.

It will result in: error: No such file or directory
This task depends upon

Please try 2016.5-3.

Hi Jan, it still results in: error: No such file or directory. I also tested it with grub 2.02-beta3, which I built myself.

Please try to use strace to find out where the ENOENT comes from, exactly.

Here you go for the strace: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/philmmanjaro/a31b434de3c4a7a49c448d9a14ae2aec/raw/96e49e91be6bb536de02b9c7533a6515607ceea8/ostree-strace.txt

Seems to be some with locale and some missing files:

Seems ostree expects /boot/loader to be a symlink to somewhere. I'm not sure what kind of setup it wants for bootable trees, but Arch's isn't it.

Since I added ostree as a flatpak dependency (which doesn't require bootability), booting will remain unsupported right now unless someone can figure out how to get it going, preferably using sd-boot instead of grub.

@Jan: using followed config fixes it:

./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--sbindir=/usr/bin \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--with-mkinitcpio \
--with-builtin-grub2-mkconfig \
--disable-static \
--enable-gtk-doc
