# Next Boot Selector

Next Boot Selector selects which boot entry to boot for the next reboot only. Useful if you're dual-booting and goes back and forth to/from Windows.

## Plugin

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| ID | `avivbintangaringga/nextboot-selector` |
| Entries | Bar widget: `nextboot-selector`; panel: `panel` |

## 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:

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

You can add more keywords to the exclusion list in the settings to hide unwanted entries. You also can make it automatically reboots after selecting an entry.
