Add boot repair tool on future releases.

Dear Team,

It would be a good addition to a future release, the addition of the boot repair tool, for the live session of Q4OS, because sometimes problems do occur on grub, and this tools makes wonders, fixing most of them on a simple session in a usb stick.

Thanks

This maybe old thread but not got any attention yet, maybe other users need to know that BOOT REPAIR TOOL is available in MX Tools, So, Me I have tested it by myself multiple times to check if it'll work fine since playing around with "booting tool" may tricky and break possibility in bios system boot manager. In my exp., sometimes it won't work, I've got multiples Efi bootloaders & with Debian's Bootloader appear also (around 3+ added bootloader), but then finally get it work (I forgot to record).
So if you know what & how to do with Boot tool & Boot Manager, and don't messing around main Efi Boot system, it won't be serious trouble, just prepare to make a snapshoot before, so when something messing or can't work properly then u can use that snapshoot to recover the previous working Q4OS.

You can also use the Q4OS live media and do a boot repair which is in the documentation for Q4OS.

Re: Add boot repair tool on future releases.

Q4OS is based on Debian so if you look here,  https://wiki.debian.org/Boot-Repair   youll find how to use it.

Start a live session with Q4OS, open terminal, run boot-repair command  sudo boot-repair  choose recommended repair, then reboot

* Edit : u have specifically mentioned about Q4OS's live media doc., not about universal Debian's doc. that's different. If there is, u an show us.

Re: Add boot repair tool on future releases.

All Q4OS documentation is available by clicking on the home button at the top of this forum, then click on documents on the home page.
Also there are typically posts in the forum on a variety of topics, so by searching you will find other info.

Noone ask about this and most user should already know about this thing, +Also "google" things.

Just to verify for what u've mentioned about this, if it was available-then just show it, But if not, just corrected it. thats more simple rather than show went to another topic.

If there's easiest way already by using MX Tool's Boot repair, Me I won't find another harder way.
