[manjaro-dev] [Manjaro Linux Support] Bug: os-prober does not find openSuse and Nutyx/LFS partitions

[Philip Müller]

Hi Peter,

my server admin is on vacation. He has it already on his todo list.

os-prober is 1:1 from Archlinux. I can check if there is any 
modification done by debian. So this issue has to be reported upstream 
at Archlinux.

Arch won't fix it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155298

So what you can do is:

1). create a text file in Suse/Nutyx: /etc/lsb-release

2). Put the following in it:

|DISTRIB_ID=<your distro id>
DISTRIB_RELEASE=|||<wanted release version to be displayed>|
DISTRIB_CODENAME=<distro codename>
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="<distro discription>”|

3). Save that file.

Then run

sudo update-grub in Manjaro

Badabum: It should find it.
