Hi, I tried to install the new kernel version 6.0 and 6.1 using the GUI. They don’t appear on the GRUB menu and also I have this error when installing via terminal:
(4/4) Updating Grub-Bootmenu
/etc/default/grub: line 1: GRUB_DEFAULT=saved: command not found
error: command failed to execute correctly
The command in question was: sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux60
However I tried to rewrite manually line 1 with a number instead of a string, then back to a string again and nothing changed.
Also, on the GRUB menu there are a bunch of kernels that I don’t even have installed and 6.0, 6.1 don’t appear at all.
I used mousepad to write it and re-write, probably not the best option.
Here’s the output of: cat -A /etc/default/grub

Thanks for your corrections on my behalf, as you might notice there’s a lot of stuff that I’m not aware of.
As for the non-printable characters I still don’t quite get what should I do, could you elaborate a bit? or point me to some reading?
Look, when I search for M-oM-;M-? I get quite good answers: You have written the file in DOS style, not in UNIX style. Obviously… Linux cannot work with DOS style correctly.
Did you edit it with notepad in wine or windows recently?
There is a tool: dos2unix, which should convert it.
Ok I think I’m getting somewhere. No, I didn’t edit the file with notepad nor I used wine. I don’t know why it got written in DOS style since I only used mousepad and I have manjaro as my base system.
I’m not even using a virtual machine. I guess I’m gonna give dos2unix a shot to convert it and hope for the best.
I’m gonna mark your reply as a solution, yes, dos2unix was the answer after all.
By the way I appreciate your patience for helping me. I’m using kernel linux 61 as of now.
Thank you very much.
