Ensure efivars are mounted before installing a UEFI bootloader (mga#31008)

2022-10-24T21:03:49+00:00

The old way of accessing EFI NVRAM variables via /sys/firmware/efi/vars
was removed in Linux 6.0. The new way is to use the efivarfs pseudo-
filesystem, which is usually mounted at /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. We
need to make sure this is actually mounted before attempting to install
a UEFI bootloader, otherwise any attempt to write to the EFI NVRAM will
fail.

Factor out code to mount the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem.

bootloader: don't completely remove failsafe/nonfb entries on upgrade.

2022-08-11T09:44:13+00:00

bootloader::suggest() removes any failsafe and nonfb entries for old
kernels on the assumption it will then add them for a newer kernel.
This is particularly a problem when using rEFInd, where we only keep
the entries for the default (unversioned) kernel, but would also
eliminate the failsafe/nonfb entries when using the installer upgrade
option to quickly repair the bootloader.

drakboot: add options to change the rEFInd background (mga#28073)

Fix missing 'my' on local variable declaration.

2022-08-09T14:06:02+00:00

bootloader: rework reading/writing of main rEFInd config file.

2022-08-08T18:11:51+00:00

At the moment we only use and modify one setting, but the next commit
will change that.

Use substInFile instead of sed.

Add option to configure rEFInd to not use EFI NVRAM (mga#27838)

2020-12-21T16:42:31+00:00

The combination of this and installing in \EFI\BOOT provides a
workaround for machines where the NVRAM is broken or worn out.

Factor out write to rEFInd PreviousBoot variable (prep. for next commit)
