I’ve had some weird issues lately with grub not showing the options I was expecting. If i try to update my grub.cfg, grub2-mkconfig updates only my local docker container

[root@fedora test] grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

os-prober also shows only my docker containers instead of my “real” OS

In other words: I cannot update my grub config anymore by using grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I am running Fedora 37 KDE. Anyone else having this issue ?

It sounds to me like you are in a container environment instead of the main OS environment.

this is definitely not the case. I’m just running plain Fedora 37 KDE and for my projects I mainly use Minikube and Distrobox/Docker
