00:00hello i was trying to update my arch linux system there was an update for grab the bootloader

00:10and there are some commands that we need to run after updating it as a package they need

00:17to be run in order to have the newer version of grab working it says here that the new

00:24to use the new features provided in this grab update it is recommended to install it

00:29to the mbr or uefi etc so the commands need to be the commands that need to be run are grab install

00:38and grab mkconfig let's run them together the first one is grab install and disk where we want to do it

00:47whether it's an ssd or a regular hard drive hdd mine is slash dev slash sda you should know yours

00:58you may need to know it by running the command lsblk as you can see it's slash dev slash sda so

01:06we run the first command slash dev slash sda password

01:18as you saw i was having an error which says that it doesn't find the the efi directory sometimes when

01:25you run grab install like this sudo grab install slash dev slash sda it works out of the box even if

01:36you are using uefi for some distributions you may need to specify target this one target

01:44uh like this let me type this one in case you're using uefi which is associated with gpt gpt is the

02:02disk table that's associated with this one sometimes it's still not enough i try to run the command like

02:09this i can run it in front of you as you see and it says that it cannot find the efi directory so

02:17this one is still not enough when we add this argument the solution to it is to run it with this

02:26argument in case you're using mbr or

02:29uh bios mbr and bios are associated to each other and gpt and uefi are associated to each other grab install

02:43without any argument with the disk only like this should should work otherwise

02:51you may need to uh to specify this one yes you may need to run this command like this i tried to run it

03:03thinking that i have bios but since i have gpt which can only be with uefi it sped out an error

03:12so the command for me was this one and with this argument let me make it complete and then here is the

03:28right command type it this way if you're using uefi if you're using post the video type it this way

03:39before i take you to the other command which is for bios

03:46now i take you to the other command which is for bios which should be this one

03:56oh sorry

04:02yes this is for bios if you're using bios you type this command

04:07to install grab to the disk it's installed as a package on your system or updated if you want

04:14to use the newly installed or the newly updated version you run this command for bios under arch linux of

04:22course and you run this command for or this command for efi whichever it is if in case it's pattern error

04:33when you run it with this one use this one despite sometimes not needing to specify this argument the next

04:41command is

04:46this one grab mk config dash o slash boot

04:50slash grab slash grab dot cfg this is similar to update grab under debian and ubuntu

05:04in case you didn't run these commands after you got your grab package updated your system will keep

05:10working but without the newer grab version that's it for this video don't forget to subscribe like share
