New machine running Win11. 2TB nvme. I installed Xubuntu on a partition of 200G. Win11 is still good and machine boots to Win11. Grub does not appear at all. I can boot into Xubuntu 24.04 by going into the boot menu and picking it. Don't know if this is related, but once Xubuntu goes into suspend more, it will not wake up. All that I get is a cursor in the middle of the screen. I can move the pointer around, but that's all.
Autodave Just a thought - as UEFI Bios booting is not compatible. Did you install Xubuntu in bios mode ? Boot Xubuntu and execute: Code: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS will tell you if you're booted via UEFI - or Not. Maybe - Oh Noes
[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
THE current(cy) in Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages Happy ubuntu'n !
~$ [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS UEFI
Autodave; Well Next thought - what does grub think ? Code: sudo update-grub in the process ...
sudo update-grub
Nope....booted right inti Win11.....no grub.
Autodave Code: efibootmgr -v Show an entry for Ubuntu ? which way did he go, George
efibootmgr -v

Originally Posted by Autodave I have that line: Indeed, you do. Code: #GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false But the line has the comment symbol #, which renders it inactive. Can you remove the comment symbol and update-grub? Also, change the following:- Code: GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu # change hidden to menu GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 # change 0 to 5
#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu # change hidden to menu GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 # change 0 to 5
