REVISITING - More BTRFS fun Multibooting to subvolumes - FIXING GRUB

[GreyGeek]

Where is this 40_custom file as I can not find it?

/etc/grub.d/40_custom

Note: locate is your friend. In a Konsole locate 40_cus would have immediately given what I show above.

Thanks but I just found it. I should have re-read because he says where it is in the first paragraph of post #1.

Probably an Internet glitch then. The Internet has been glitchy since it began back in the 70's. I know since I predate the Mini computers. When I was born they still used vacuum tubs because the transistor had been invented just a few years prior to my entrance into the mortal world. I was 7 when I read my first computer book. It was about core ring memory. Not lite reading for a 7 y/o! Of course the grey one probably got to work with literal debugging. To bad electricity and a can of raid don't mix!

Maybe that happened.

Can I use my @Kubuntu17.04 with Lbuntu 17.04 or would that not work with different windows managers?

[steve7233]

I meant my kubuntu1704_home.

You can yes, often though - it's not advised. Sometimes where running vastly different distros you could potentially run into incompatibilities. The file manager would not be an issue at all.

As long as you're using Kubunutu 17.04 and Lubuntu 17.04 or any other *buntu based distros and they're on 17.04, I doubt you'll have any issues at all.

To do this - following post number 1, you can simply edit the fstab using the same home subvolume in every distro. I would be easier because you wouldn't have to rename all the @home subvolumes.

[steve7233]

Never mind the wifi problem. I already found the fix on the Ubuntu forums.There is a bug in Lubuntu17.04.

[steve7233]

I can boot into Lubuntu but not Kubuntu. I checked and the Kubuntu volumes are still there. I thought Kubuntu would come up first. I installed grub to sda5 so sda would still be Kubuntu. Isn't sda grub supposed to come up first?

I can't say what happened during install as I wasn't there, obviously, but it's easy enough to fix. When running Lubuntu, edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add Kubuntu in there using the process I describe in post #1, run update-grub, re-boot, select Kubuntu from the grub menu. Once you're back and running Kubuntu, run grub-install.

I used sudo edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom to edit, but I can't enter anything after the period in the comments, where it says to enter the menu entery after the comment.

Use
kate sudoedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
instead.

[vinnywright]

Use
kate sudoedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
instead.

if he is on Kubuntu-17.04 ,,,,he has a kate version that will edit root owned files just fine by it's self ,,,,,,,,when saving the file it will ask for his password .
