$ sudo grub-mkconfig --output=${-boot-grub-grub-cfg}
try on your machine
The command sudo grub-mkconfig --output=${-boot-grub-grub-cfg}
is used to generate a GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader) configuration file in a specific location, determined by the value of -boot-grub-grub-cfg
variable.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
sudo
: It is used to run the command with administrative privileges. This ensures that the command is executed with root access, which may be required for modifying the GRUB configuration.grub-mkconfig
: It is a GRUB utility that generates the configuration file for the bootloader.--output=${-boot-grub-grub-cfg}
: This option specifies the output path and file name for the generated GRUB configuration file. The variable${-boot-grub-grub-cfg}
should be replaced with the actual path/name you want to use.
In summary, this command runs the grub-mkconfig
utility with administrative privileges, and specifies the desired location and name for the generated GRUB configuration file.
