Note: the old grub boot selector will still be available for emergency situations.īob would like to use the other operating system installed on his machine. The graphical OS switcher is available on demand during the boot sequence and would present a more modern and pleasant experience for users wishing to boot another system.
Yet, we still want to allow users to select other operating systems to boot, including alternative versions of the Linux kernel. We want to provide a smooth boot experience, and as part of that remove the prompts associated with the text-based bootloader selection mechanisms. Release notes, based on the above description and impacted packages, will be detailed as the integration progresses. This specification is part of DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceSpec The goal is to provide a graphical OS selection interface that is only displayed if necessary, while the text-based bootloader selection mechanism would be hidden by default and only used for emergency cases. The OS Switcher module allows users to boot another operating system, or boot a different Linux kernel version. This specification documents the proposed OS Switcher module for Karmic. Packages affected: grub2, gdm, initscripts Contributors: DX & Design teams, Ubuntu Platform
