ID	avivbintangaringga/nextboot-selector

Requirements

This plugin mainly requires efibootmgr but need to escalate using pkexec or sudo. Note that if you use sudo, you need to set the option NOPASSWD for the efibootmgr command so it doesn't requires password to run. reboot command is also required if reboot on select is enabled.

Usage

Add the nextboot-selector widget to a bar. Click it to show a panel that lists all boot entries on your computer. Click one of the entry to change the next boot to it.

Open the panel directly with:

noctalia msg panel-toggle avivbintangaringga/nextboot-selector:panel
