Re: Grub Menu showing on bootup - trinidad - 05-27-2016 My system is Debian Jessie and swap on sda1 and Kali linux sdb1 swap and linux lite 2.8 sdb3. Debian Jessie was installed first. Then Kali linux and finally linux lite. Each new system took over the bootloader screen automatically placing itself first in the menu. I greatly prefer the look of the Jessie boot menu screen, and wanted the boot order to be Debian Jessie, Kali linux, linux lite, so that boot thrus without selection went to Jessie. The easiest way to deal with multiple systems and the boot screen, not even using a terminal, is to download a Rescatux live cd iso and burn one for yourself. It works easily from a sensible gui. Use it to restore each bootloader from the gui separately, and update menus one at time separately in reverse order of the boot order you desire. I test all sorts of linux distros from time to time and in all honesty Debian Jessie is by for the most powerful and maybe even the fastest. I repair windows computers regularly and always try to talk my customers into trying out linux lite. It is a fine piece of software for new users. maybe the best linux distro for new users, and most of the problems I see on this list are often answered with more difficult solutions than are necessary. Using Debian packages, and most often a gui and not a terminal I have been able to solve nearly all of them. I highly recommend you obtain a live cd of Rescatux. Nothing works better except editing from a terminal. The gui in linux lite is admirably comprehensive and responsive, and geared for ex-windows users. also to work with your system files externally I recommend having a Porteus usb stick on hand with the same authentications from root as your system. I think linux lite is a well built system and almost a public service to windows users. I use rescatux regularly. Re: Grub Menu showing on bootup - Wirezfree - 05-27-2016 There are are number of references on the LL forum for Grub Customizer. Can make your grub how you want and distro order.

I know there is a grub mod tool but I do not know how to use it. Just for helping solve the problem this is the grub.cfg file: (05-10-2016, 07:07 AM)nomko link Wrote: [quote author=technomancer link=topic=2931.msg22880#msg22880 date=1461521830] works for me ! Only click on "save" so it updates grub. ( I have not tried "install to hard drive.") [/quote] Although ment for "newbies", it can be a very good tool also for those who can't get their finger behind all those abracadabra language used in a Grub config file. A GUI used in these kind of situations can be very helpful and handy tool, and not only for "newbies". But on the other hand you will miss the fun of "fiddling and fooling" around in Linux ![]() [/quote] Re: Grub Menu showing on bootup - mandoran - 08-26-2016 I have had the same problem appear on my LL machines, they both now suddenly boot to the Grub menu instead of the LL splash screen, which is annoying. Is there a known reason for this? I am reluctant to set the timeout to 0 in case this applies also to when I might need to see the grub screen. Re: Grub Menu showing on bootup - liamjake05 - 08-26-2016 Actually, after a few reboots, it fixes itself. I have no idea what happened. |
