mkusb wants wmctrl. The tarball must be bigger, if I say that mkusb
needs it. And mkusb works without wmctrl. But I think it is good to have
grub-pc in the live system, because mkusb is delivered as part of the
OS. If you think it is important to always provide the option to create
persistent live drives, then I should move grub-pc from the 'wish-list'
to the 'need-list' in the mkusb package.

Please tell me if you agree or not!

Hi again Israel,

No it does not help to run grub-installer twice. It finds only the
current ToriOS itself. Not another system. There is nothing between

### BEGIN ... 30_os-prober ###

and

### END ... 30_os-prober ###

in /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Have you checked that 30_os-prober is called, and that it works? You can
enter some debug output lines (it is an sh shellscript).

Maybe you should have also 'sudo update-grub' as an option in
'firstrun', or even do it automatically, at least if installed at the
advanced OBI-level.

Best regards
Nio
