Hi all, we have a new GUI system tool! This one is a GTK+3 frontend for efibootmgr and can be used in UEFI systems for managing UEFI boot options. Since it only makes sense to run it in UEFI systems, this means it can be used in 64-bit systems only. Using GUEFI you can: * Create a new UEFI boot entry * Edit a UEFI boot entry * Delete a UEFI boot entry * Change the UEFI boot order * Enable/disable a UEFI boot entry * Configure a UEFI boot entry to be the default during the next boot only The guefi package is now included in the 14.2 repositories. You should be able to get it with: sudo slapt-get -i guefi as soon as your mirror syncs. If you want to get it before that, I have also uploaded it here: http://people.salixos.org/gapan/guefi/ Since this is new, everyone who can test it, please do so and report back. It has already received some testing (thanks laprjns!) so there shouldn't be any terrible bugs with it. It does *not* work in 14.1. So you need a 14.2 64-bit installation to use it. It will be included by default in the next beta release. Now, guefi as all our other tools supports internationalization, so translators are requested to visit the transifex resource page and provide translations for your own language: https://www.transifex.com/gapan/salix/guefi/ (some of you have already spotted the new resource on your own and have added translations, so thanks!)
