Added note to grub-doctor stating that it is meant to be run from a live environment. (Should never be a reason to run this on an installed system)./quote]
Hmn, when you dual boot with another distro added after SalineOS, the other distro takes precident. I've used Grub-Doctor to change which distro comes first in Grub.

In this case its much faster and easier to issue the command update-grub from the SalineOS terminal, you will get the exact same result in the end.

I just thought I would report this error in case it's of interest to devs.

I logged out and back in as root and ran the update and got this permission error

You have me a bit stumped on this one

I am very curious as to if anyone else has had this error occur?

The only thing I can think of that might cause this is if there is a file or folder in the directory you ran the line in named setup.

It only happens with this install of Saline which is on an SSD, if I look in / there are only three files there initrd.img, salineos15upgrade.run and vmlinuz and the permissions look OK for salineos15upgrade.run.

To recap I logged off and back in as root and then from the terminal ran
http://www.salineos.com/salineos15upgrade.run && chmod +x ./salineos15upgrade.run && ./salineos15upgrade.run

If I run salineos15upgrade.run from the terminal as root the same permission thing happens.

This is not a problem for me as I will shortly do a remastersys from a fresh install on my other machine I just thought it might be of interest to you, I will leave this install in place in case you might want to track down the problem.

Beg to differ, that did not work having SalineOS on sda1 and sda3, you cannot switch the order of which opens first using update-grub.

update-grub will put whatever distribution it is ran from on the top of the list and therefor the default on the boot menu. I use this all the time, in fact if you run grub-doctor from the installed system this is all it is going to do (correctly). I mainly wrote grub-doctor in order to give people a way to repair the bootloader should it get corrupted/overwritten ect .....

The Remastersys-grub-restore was ok for the most part, but only being able to target the root partition or /dev/sda1 can be quite limiting.

Re my update permissions problem
I did run the updater as my user using sudo first so that might have been the cause of my permissions problem.

I did spend some time trying to disable my auto-logon before the penny dropped and I logged off and then logged in as root. ::)

I just installed a snapshot from my other machine over that install and took the opportunity to try your grub-doctor before I did the install and it worked flawlessly

A lot simpler and less confusing than Rescatux which I previously used, rescatux uses several screens asking you to put the drives in boot order which I think is unnecessary.
I prefer your method of selecting the OS partition and then selecting the drive for the MBR to write to, simple and very effective.

What I didn't like about installing fragelics Gnome OS and AVlinux was the way they over wrote the sda MBR with no choice or warning. You have done a wonderful job of tweaking the remastersys script, so much more functional. Bravo!

Edit:
I found the final dialogue screen a little confusing.

Code:
Grub installation complete, will now exit.

I don't think the "will now exit" is necessary.

I ran the update command as shown in reply #4. Then I ran AutoUpdate. I get the following:

Code:
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
salineos-utils{b}
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
salineos-utils: Depends: locales-all but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: util-linux-locales but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: gcc-4.4-locales but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: console-data but it is not going to be installed.
Depends: parted but it is not going to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
1) salineos-utils

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Should I accept?

Also, when I ran the update command from reply #4, I did not log into the system as root, but I ran su, entered the root password, and then ran the command. Was this a mistake?

Using su is fine yes. Something is wrong with that output, but I think I may have a solution. I will upload an updated archive here in a minute that should sort it out.

You aren't using the Debian testing repository are you?

Archive has been updated. Please make sure you delete the old one that is left behind from the last attempt or run the line from a different directory.

No, I'm only using Squeeze sources.

Sorry, I'm confused by this. What is "the old one" that I need to delete? And after I delete it, do I need to run the command again from reply #4 of this thread, or simply run AutoUpdate?

Erase the old file, salineos15upgrade.run
then rerun the script,
wget http://www.salineos.com/salineos15upgrade.run && chmod +x ./salineos15upgrade.run && ./salineos15upgrade.run

Thank you.

I deleted ~/salineos15upgrade.run, then ran wget http://www.salineos.com/salineos15upgrade.run && chmod +x ./salineos15upgrade.run && ./salineos15upgrade.run.

During that, a "Configuring console-data" screen came up. I chose the policy "Don't touch keymap" and hit Enter. The update completed, so I ran AutoUpdate. No problems. Rebooted the system just to make sure. Things look fine.

For various and sundry reasons, I reinstalled Sos1.4.
Actually, been wanting to reorganize the disk for a while.
Reformatted with /sos, /data, swap and /tryout. Only 4 primaries.
Still have a partition to try new distros, upgrades, etc.
And VirtualBox or Qemu for quick looks.
Keeping the stock kernel for a while. Seems fine at the moment.
dist-upgrade'd a couple of times then ran the Saline1.5-upgrade.
A-OK.
