i was only familiar w/ 1 slurm project.

I have no idea why they haven't added your trick as part of the official docs. All the clusters I've ever used required that type of trick to submit jobs that had arguments parameterized and I've never seen it included w/ the project's docs.

@CodeMed please join me here. I am not familiar with CentOS so it might take some trial and error.

Dual booting for newbs should be highly discouraged too @terdon

terdon

Shrugs. Isn't that how you learned? :)

Now, dual booting CentOS of all choices...

slm

@terdon - see you "edited" that other awful centos 7 Q

should probably of been just deleted, it's a POS there

Q: Installed Centos 7 after Windows and can't boot into Centos

I wanted to setup a dual boot for Windows 7 and Centos 7 I had a Windows 7 machine with 500GB disk. I shrank the Windows partition to provide space for Centos 7 (roughly 230GB). I created a USB Centos 7 netinstall stick and booted from that. I ran the install configured as best I knew to insta...

terdon

Yeah, I just retagged. That is a bit of a wreck...

Oh well, never mind @slm. His Windows is recognized, I posted an answer. grub2-mkconfig should be enough.

@terdon - I couldn't stand to know it was there, I edited it

terdon

Nice!. To tell you the truth, I hadn't even noticed all the formatting problems. I only saw a wall of text and ran away screaming.

slm

Knowing it was there would bother me the rest of the night in that sad shape. Now it's much better.

terdon

That it is. Any idea why sudo grub2-update -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg would fail on CentOS?

Is that not the right conf file or something?

A: equivalent of update-grub for rhel/fedora/centos systems

After analyzing the scripts in Fedora, I realize that the configuration file path is read from the symlink /etc/grub2.conf. The correct grub2-mkconfig line is thus: grub2-mkconfig -o "$(readlink /etc/grub2.conf)"

Does that mean that the OP needs to find what /etc/grub2.conf is pointing to?

Argh, never mind. That's it, I need to go to bed.

slm

was d/l'ing centos 7 to assist

terdon

No, I'm an idiot. First I figure out that centos needs grub2-mkconfig and even say so in point 1 of my A and then I suggest running update-grub2 in part 2 out of habit. :(

slm

2:37 AM

@terdon that Q/A seems to be the one you want.

terdon

@slm Yes, but that '$(readlink /etc/grub2.conf)' seems weird. Either it points to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg so we may as well use that or it doesn't so we may as well just use > /etc/grub2.conf.

Since I don't know the RH world, I didn't want to suggest something that outlandish.

Is that really how it's done?

slm

I've never seen that until tonight

i generally don't do much w/ grub though either

god this guy is a pain, he keeps rolling back edits

I changed the title and he friggin rolls it back

his: windows invisible in boot options after installing centos 7
mine: Windows boot option is missing after installing CentOS 7, how can I get it back?

terdon

@slm lol. I think he probably didn't notice.

slm

yeah maybe he had the edit window already opened?

terdon

Probably

He's rebooting, now's our chance! :)

slm

2:51 AM

I'm already on it 8-)

edits are done

terdon

Cool :)

Right, I'm off to bed. Night all
