Hey.

In util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in you have:

if [ "x${GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER}" = "xtrue" ]; then
  grub_warn "$(gettext_printf "os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable partitions.\nSystems on them will not be added to the GRUB boot configuration.\nCheck GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER documentation entry.")"
  exit 0
fi


followed by:


if ! command -v os-prober > /dev/null || ! command -v linux-boot-prober > /dev/null ; then
  # missing os-prober and/or linux-boot-prober
  exit 0
fi


why not switching the two, so that that annoying message is omitted, when the system doesn’t have os-prober installed anyway?

I would make a pull request... but... where? ^^
So attached is a patch created by git format-patch.


Cheers,
Chris.
