# EFI Boots
Manage EFI boot loader entries with this simple GUI.
This is how it looks on my machine:
You can:
- reorder, add, delete, enable or disable boot entries
- choose what to boot into at the next reboot (NextBoot)
- set the time to wait before the first entry (or the NextBoot one) is selected
- save your changes and reboot
Beware that efibootmgr acts on EFI variables and that could be dangerous on
non-standard compliant implementations.
## Dependencies
This project requires these libraries to be installed on your system:
- python 3 (>= 3.10)
- efibootmgr (= 17 | 18)
- gtk 4 (>= 4.8)
- python gobject
### Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and other derivatives
Requires at least Ubuntu 22.10 or Debian 12.
```
sudo apt install efibootmgr python3 python3-gi libgtk-4-1 gir1.2-gtk-4.0
```
### Arch, Manajaro and other derivatives
```
sudo pacman -S --needed efibootmgr python3 python-gobject gtk4
```
### Fedora
Requires at least Fedora 37.
```
sudo dnf install efibootmgr python3 python3-gobject gtk4
```
### nix
```
nix-build
nix-env -i $(realpath result)
```
## Usage
```
$ python3 efiboots
```
If the program is unable to correctly auto-detect the ESP (EFI System Partition)
you can manually pass --disk and --part like this (assuming ESP is on /dev/sda1):
```
$ python3 efiboots --disk /dev/sda --part 1
```
You can also [report the issue](https://github.com/Elinvention/efibootmgr-gui/issues/new),
so that I can improve the auto-detection algorithm.
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome. Development happens on the ["main" branch](https://github.com/Elinvention/efibootmgr-gui/tree/main).
