Os-prober detects Garuda as Debian

Issues & Assistance
1

I've been reading the console output from the latest update a little closer, since the kernel update breaks my Garuda install and one of the odd messages i came across is the output of os-prober:

/dev/mapper/luks-6ec60199-2eb3-4b32-835c-0f29f002ab25:Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye):Debian:linux:btrfs:UUID=1733e231-61d3-4c17-89b0-0bdd9f044070:subvol=@
/var/lib/docker/btrfs/subvolumes/5f31022533ec8de3c1be7909bb8baae44049d759e0937919ce44efd7645f2e91

This won't fix my install, but I still wonder how os-prober could be so wrong about the OS on my NVME.

It looks like it's related to a Docker container (not your OS).

It's the only output os-prober provides, so it has to be Garuda and the UUID also matches the Garuda install, since there is no other OS. I don't have any Debian containers in docker.

Which one, or you mean the grub bug?

All in all, maybe you could be so kind to post garuda-inxi?

sudo os-prober
/dev/nvme0n1p6:Garuda Linux:Garuda:linux:btrfs:UUID=cc8c3427-2bdc-407e-ae93-4105b6795059:subvol=@

It's a different issue than the grub bug. A while ago a kernel update broke my Garuda install, so I switched from zen to lts and everything was fine again. Then came along the additional grub entry for the recovery mode. So when grub now selected entry nr 3 from the list it wasn't lts anymore, but zen (recovery mode) and the total entries are now 6 and not 4. So zen still doesn't work for me, but at least lts works now that the correct entry is selected in grub.

OS-prober does not have to provide an output for each bootable entry, or any for that matter. It only offers an entry it is able to detect according to its configuration.

The UUID identifies the disk. If that is the disk where Garuda is installed, it would make sense that software installed on the system (like Docker, or anything else) would share the same UUID.

Are you sure about that?

Docker containers contain a lot of their own needed infrastructure; you could have installed a Docker container that uses a Debian stack. You honestly would have no idea unless you looked at the guts of whatever you installed.

Interesting. I was under the impression, that os-prober finds all installed OS, but I was wrong. I have removed all docker images and now the os-prober output is empty.
Thank you, @BluishHumility!

I thought so as well. Weird…
Did grub menu have any new entry for Debian after that, or did you explicitly run os-prober yourself?

I can confirm this is purely a result of Docker. Nothing about it will alter the way grub behaves, all is fine.

Grub didn't show any Debian entries. Not before and not after I removed all docker images. And yes, I did run os-proper explicitly myself after discovering the the Debian message in the update log as part of "mkinitcpio -P"
