How to use grub-reboot in KDE
Couldn't find this posted anywhere so I figure I'd better put it up - if only to remind myself next time I rebuild.
The command 'grub-reboot' lets you boot into a specific option listed in the grub boot menu. It's useful, but a little irritating if you have to use sudo powers each time you need to reboot into Windows, for example.
KDE has the option to list what to reboot into in the shutdown menu. If you open System Settings->Login Manager->Shutdown and set your Boot Manager to 'grub' in the dropdown menu, you'll find it'll appear next time you open the shutdown menu. You'll probably need to logout/log in for it to take effect, and you'll need to press and hold the restart button in order for the menu to appear, otherwise it assumes default restart.
Mr. Flibble's very cross.
