MX-BOOTREPAIR(8)

NAME
mx-boot-repair - graphical utility to repair common boot problems

SYNOPSIS
mx-boot-repair

DESCRIPTION
mx-bootrepair is a graphical tool designed to fix bootloader issues on systems running MX Linux or Debian. It provides a simple interface that allows users to:

•   Reinstall GRUB (both BIOS and UEFI modes)

•   Regenerate the GRUB configuration file

•   Restore the Master Boot Record (MBR) on legacy BIOS systems

•   Repair EFI system partitions and boot entries

The application must be run with root privileges. When launched from the desktop menu, it uses pkexec to obtain the necessary credentials. From the command line, it can be started directly by the root user or via sudo(8).

mx-bootrepair detects the current system configuration and presents only the repair options relevant to the boot mode (BIOS or UEFI). Operations are logged and displayed in the application window for user verification.
