Error Configuring Grub

Jack Lagas · 2023-02-04 09:28:59

Whenever I run the command

 grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I get this error

I don't know any of (Bash) scripting, but I think you're missing the then condition.

From where did that file originate?

archie:~$ pacman -F /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware_proxy
1archie:~$

Doesn't seem to be supplied by any official packages. A quick search suggests that grub-customizer is responsible for that nonsense, which wouldn't surprise me at. Does removing that package (or that file) help?

And yes, the second if clause is incomplete.
