sg2conf in 13.37 XFCE

Post by pathe3 »

Just installed 13.37 XFCE (32 bit) and got it working after first attempting to upgrade from 13.0, which resulted in quite a few problems. I can't remember all the issues, but I ended up just doing a clean install in the end. Anyway, I used the sg2conf utility to setup Grub2 for a multiboot system in 13.0 with no problems. However, with 13.37, the menu entry didn't do anything after entering the root password. It does work when launched from a command-line, which kind of makes the menu entry useless. Anyone attempting to use sg2conf should be aware that it does indeed work; just not from the menu.

Interesting, I can't reproduce this on Openbox. Will have to try it on xfce.

But nice that somebody apart from me actually uses it. I've already thought about dropping it and only maintaining grub2 alone anymore.

The problem is that Xdialog is not installed. The error message is only displayed on the console because without Xdialog the script is not able to display any windows.
Anyway dependencies should be updated accordingly.

Thanks for identifying the problem. I do use it because it's very handy in setting up Grub2 for multiboot systems.
