Notes: The installer's custom partitioning will continue to permit the creation of a swap partition and will configure for hibernation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

[Bug 2033158] New: Grub documentation out of date in System Administration Guide

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2033158 Bug ID: 2033158 Summary: Grub documentation out of date in System Administration Guide Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Status: NEW Component: system-administrator's-guide Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com Reporter: fedora(a)chrisirwin.ca QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: swadeley(a)redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora Description of problem: Grub2 documentation is out of date in System Administrators Guide. It explains how grub was configured in previous releases, but doesn't explain the current configuration and tools sufficiently/ * systemd Boot Loader Specification (/boot/loader/entries) * grubby description is inaccurate (it says it edits grub.cfg, while it looks like it now edits /boot/loader/entries/*conf files) * location of grub config (/boot/grub2/grub.cfg, even on EFI systems now) * menuentries in grub.cfg (not used now) * Gives instruction to `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg` several times, but that is not the proper location now * Above command is given for "Editing a Menu Entry" to change kernel command args, but it doesn't do that any more. grubby must be used for that task. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 35 Documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f35/system-administrators-guide… Rawhide documentation appears the same. How reproducible: It's documentation, so every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look at Fedora documentation to see where kernel menuentries are defined 2. Documentation says /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg 3. That is not correct. Actual results: 1. /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg is only a stub to load /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, even on EFI systems (documentation says this file is BIOS only) 2. No kernel menu entries are defined there, either 3. Kernel menu entries defined in /boot/loader/entries/*conf files, and probed by grub via unknown mechanism Expected results: Expected documentation to match and explain grub configuration on a current Fedora system.

Both ntp and chrony follow this setting.

For instance, users are told to edit the and change: ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l USER -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1280x1024" PIDFile=/home/USER/.vnc/%H%i.pid Whereas the actual file contains: ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver -autokill %i PIDFile=/home/<USER>/.vnc/%H%i.pid Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the documentation page: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f29/system-administrators-guide… 2. Install tigervnc-server 3. Look at the configuration file /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service Actual results: The files differ significantly, also following the instructions in the configuration file fails to start vnc successfully, but I'll file a bug for that separately.
