grub 1.93

grub 1.93

[Sergey Ya. Korshunoff]

Hello grub-devel,

1) current version of GRUB2 (1.93 from CVS) reports about pointer misaligment and hangs
(no any text menu posiible). Any plans to fix this? (I use x86 hardware).

   Yes, it is because of grub.cfg from 1.92 (old menu stile).
   While there is no support for this style in current GRUB2?
   Read all non empty lines after this command and execute them.
   Is is hard to implement?

2) cursor keys do not work in menu (can not move selection bar). But
keys work in edit menu mode.

     Is there plans to add ^N ^P ^A ^D (or some other like this) as navigation keys?

3) long menu lines (linux .......................... with parameters)
are truncated (but it is possible to add more chars in edit mode)

4) default 1
   This command do not select right menu item as in 1.92 (always 0)

Best regards,
 Sergey

The syntax changed.

Weird.  Is this on the PC?  Does GRUB Legacy work?

There are some navigation keys, but I can not remember which they are.

Oh, I will have a look at this.  IIRC the limit is 255 characters.

Hm, I will look into this.

As you noticed the syntax changes might have broken some things.  I
will have a look at all of this after my exams (I hope...).  Please
tell me the things that don't work correctly so I can fix those
issues.

Should now be fixed in CVS now.

There seems to be limit of 100 characters per script line. Marco,
perhaps this should be increased ?

It seems to be broken. But I leave this to Marco when he have time to
work on improving the menu code. (Btw. context setting is broken...
there is only one pop in code)

Thanks,

Of course.  I hate limitations. :-)

Context setting?

default and timeout use grub_context_get_current_menu () to get active
menu. But nothing sets this context.

And you will fix this, right? ;-)
