Upgrading Linux-libre not updating grub
I have the Linux-libre from freesh installed and noticed that I had a few kernels that were not the right version in my grub. There were some outdated versions. My /boot/grub/grub.cfg currently reads the latest and only grub versions. I had to modify the grub to boot the latest 6.1.11 version instead of older ones including 6.1.8 to get to my current session. I would advise people to ensure they are booting the correct version.
When I check my /boot/grub/grub.cfg I see 5.4.230 in there which matches the kernel I'm currently running as I write this. How are you installing the kernels? I mean, the linux-image-* packages contain a postinst hook to run both linux-update-symlinks so that both the /vmlinuz and /initrd.img symlinks get updated to point to the correct location, and to also run the scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d which includes zz-update-grub, just like the official kernels do.
Installing the latest official kernel of Trisquel did not help the situation.
These are the apt upgrades I have done according to the apt history log.

If the normal Trisquel kernels *also* don't update your grub configuration it seems that this isn't really a problem related to the Linux-libre kernels, then, but something else since it would seem that neither are working. What happens if you run sudo update-grub on your own?
Neither sudo update-grub nor sudo update-grub2 do anything.
I guess what is happening is I have aramo and nabia booting on this machine and aramo seems to have greater priority that for some reason nabia version of grub will not do anything.
I updated grub with the command jxself suggested in aramo and it seems back to normal. I don't know why nabia's update-grub doesn't overwrite grub from aramo.
