memtest86+ missing from my boot grub menu!
Hello.
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 (recently upgraded) on Code:
uname -a In the process of chasing a possible kernel problem on another thread I noticed that memtest86+ is missing from my boot grub menu. (I had been advised to use it to check that I don't have a memory problem. In my defence, I had't noticed as my system hasn't had any boot problems and the boot menu is "hidden". Code:
$ grep hidden /etc/default/grub I'd be very grateful for advice on:
Interestingly, memtest86+ does appear in my boot folder: Code:
$ ls /boot |
What is in your /etc/grub.d/? Is there a file for memtest86+?

Hi,
ok, so it seems memtest86+ is installed, but seems not to be configured properly. As part of the postinstall update-grub should be run which among other things will use /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ (and other files) to populate /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Does your /boot/grub/grub.cfg contain memtest86+ entries? If not. You may be able to just run update-grub to generate them. However, I wonder why they are missing. I'd suggest checking the state of your memtest86+ package. Eg Code:
dpkg -l memtest86+ |
post the output of
Code:
ls -l /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ |

Here you go: Code:
$ dpkg -l memtest86+ |

Code:
$ ls -l /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ |
Post the contents of /etc/default/grub

Code:
$ cat /etc/default/grub Code:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update |

What happens when you run update-grub? Eg Code:
sudo update-grub |

Ran update-grub just now: Code:
$ sudo update-grub is informative? Thanks. |
