    [SOLVED] Re: Mounting volume in GRUB

    OK ... missed that. Thought "data" was the type of partition.

    I will change the label and see what happens.

    [SOLVED] Re: Mounting volume in GRUB

    @oldfred:

    Many thanks for the details -- but I am confused by part of what you wrote.

    In the 40_custom entry, it points to a config file livecdimage.cfg

    But in that file, it points to...

    [SOLVED] Mounting volume in GRUB

    I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.1 and have a 40_custom file containing a list of boot stanzas, one for each ISO file I want to use.

    While it works fine, the ISOs are stored in the Ubuntu filesystem in an...
  9. [SOLVED] Re: os-prober generates faulty boot stanzas for Windows drives

    Not surprisingly, it is VERY HARD to changed UUIDs in Windows -- even though it is a problem often enough that server tools have features for fixing this.

    But apparently, Gparted has a selection...
  10. [SOLVED] Re: os-prober generates faulty boot stanzas for Windows drives

    Thanks for all the feedback guys.

    I am going to look into modifying the UUID of the Win10 ESP -- and then rerunning update-grub to see if it generates a new stanza.

    I've been using GRUB menus...
  11. [SOLVED] Re: os-prober generates faulty boot stanzas for Windows drives

    @Oldfred: I understand about using a 40_custom because I have one myself for loading ISO files. But there is a more basic issue -- HOW to word the boot stanzas correctly.

  12. [SOLVED] Re: os-prober generates faulty boot stanzas for Windows drives

    Sorry -- problem is not solved. That thread clearly indicates that the system would not assign the same UUID to different volumes -- but that is EXACTLY what it did to me.

    Sorry, but the same results -- text screen only on restart.

    I'm giving up on this for now and looking into rEFInd as an alternative.

    Thanks for all your help.

    OK, thanks. So when I get a chance (later) I will redo the GRUB install and see what happens.

  19. Re: Unable to display Plymouth splash screen on boot

    Alright -- did some more research. Looks like gdm3 is the display manager for Gnome and installing that forces the Gnome desktop -- which I do not like.

    So, I went to reinstall the Mate desktop...

  23. Re: Unable to display Plymouth splash screen on boot

    My native resolution is 1920x1200, but I had it set down during boot to 1024x768. When I shutdown, the Plymouth splash screen displays -- so I don't think the resolution is the issue.

    I then...
