[Bug 748413] Re: update-grub does not detect archbang on the other partition

[Jason R]

By the way, if I first *mount* the partition on which Arch is located,
update-grub finds the installation. After I mount /dev/sda5 (the /
partition for Arch), the output of 'sudo os-prober' is:

/dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda5::Arch:linux

Title:
  update-grub does not detect archbang on the other partition

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  My boot menu does not include the archbang installation I have on the other partition.
  I expect every linux distro to detect the other.
  Previous versions of the grub included in ubuntu used to detect other linux versions, today only Ubuntu is detected.

  It's kinda funny because arch did not detect ubuntu either.
  This looks bad, it's like the foul play between Windows 7 and linux :/ (where Windows tries to make Linux unbootable).
