✨ NAME ✨

mx-boot-repair — a graphical utility to repair common boot problems 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mx-boot-repair

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch and go 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

mx-bootrepair is a graphical tool designed to fix bootloader issues on systems running MX Linux or Debian. It gives you a simple interface so you can do all this without crying:

  • Reinstall GRUB (both BIOS and UEFI modes, she does both 💪)
  • Regenerate the GRUB configuration file
  • Restore the Master Boot Record (MBR) on legacy BIOS systems
  • Repair EFI system partitions and boot entries 🦋
⚠️ the one thing you cannot skip: this app must be run with root privileges. no root, no repair, periodt.

When you launch it from the desktop menu, it uses pkexec to grab the credentials it needs. From the command line, it can be started directly by the root user or via sudo(8). 👑

mx-bootrepair detects your current system configuration and then presents only the repair options relevant to your boot mode (BIOS or UEFI) — so no confusing extra buttons, it's giving curated. 🌈

Every operation is logged and displayed in the application window so you can verify what actually happened. transparency queen 👑
