update-grub: os-prober gone bonkers
by BW-userx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XNNH)
my update-grub is just a wrapper to the command (fyi)
I did some re provisioning of the partitions and update the fstab in Slack and FreeBSD . Windows did an update without asking because windows is arrogant like that( i have not taken time to reset that setting, so it won't), rebooted windows and lost grub, it went to grub rescue, I booted a live slack reinstalled grub via chroot, because I never took the time to master the grub rescue prompt.
keep last boot was not working. so I just did the update-grub after checking the default/grub file, and it is now hanging . I ctl C on that and got this.
Code:$ update-grub

^Cwhat is swaps-map I have no swap on Slack I do not know what is going on with this. I also don't know if I am stuck in here, is I reboot will I get back in to an OS? Though it does look like I still have a clean grub.cfg
