Bug#919813: os-prober fails to find any os's at all.
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.77
os-prober fails to find any os's at all after a new Debian buster install,
not even the installed and running DEbian buster.
The install was done using the net-install CD on a USB stick on 2019 01 18,
downloaded immediately before the installation.
root@buster:/home/guest# os-prober
root@buster:/home/guest#
This was run the day after installation.
The machine actually has two Linux systems installed:
* the newly installed Debian buster.
* /boot on /dev/sda2, and / on /dev/sda6.
* Installed yesterday.
* An older Devuan ascii.
* /boot on /dev/sda1, and other partitions in an LVM on /dev/sda3
* Installed a few months ago.
Both are now bootable from the grub2 boot menu installed by using the
debian installer to install buster yesterday. Presumably the installer
used os-prober succesfully, but the os-prober I installed
today using aptitude does not work.
Could they be different versions?
I'm not aware of anything unusual about the enviromnent. It'a a Purism
laptop.
