GRUB ON USB BREAKS GRUB ON SYSTEM INSTALL
If you want to be able to do both, see hybrid install in my tutorial on full install to USB drive. If the tutorial had you boot the live session in EFI, it'll be the other way around, will work on UEFI but not BIOS machines. For example, one created from VBox ordinarily will boot only on BIOS machines. Let me know if you need detailed instructions for that.īe aware a full install USB isn't freely portable. You can override this by adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub. And, yes, by default, update-grub will add to the Grub menu any other operating systems it sees.
GRUB ON USB BREAKS GRUB ON SYSTEM WINDOWS 10
Maybe there a way to remove the stuff in grub that gives the option to boot to that one windows drive? Kind of defeats the purpose of portability when it's go junk about booting windows 10 from that one computer. It's really nice that anywhere I go I can use that USB to boot into Linux and it has all my stuff saved and everything, I use it for banking and it's encrypted.Īny knowledge from you guys would be appreciated. (Part of me want to boot from another computer and select that "start windows 10" but that drive isn't there but I worry it'll break the whole thing. Should I have just done first boot on my t420 or would that have just made grub option point to the Linux mint on that computer?Īgain, it seems I can just press enter and boot to the Linux on the USB but it bothers me
I'm wondering what I did wrong for that to happen. I click start Linux and everything is fine so maybe I'm nitpicking, but first, why did it install grub when I was booting off the USB and no windows drives from that computer were mounted?Ĭan I remove that so it just boots to Linux no matter what computer I boot it in (maybe remove grub)? Obviously unless I'm using that one computer (I have 5) it's pointless to have that and even on that one windows computer, if I'm booting from the USB full install I made I don't want to boot into windows. It installed grub onto the boot of the USB and now, even in a different computer, it boots up to grub and the bottom option is to boot windows 10 from the nvme drive that the windows computer I did the updates has. That went well also, but something weird happened. Next came the first boot and with how long it took with the Thinkpad, I booted the USB in my windows machine that has USB 3.0 because I knew it has alot of initial updates after install.
Every went fine but slow since my t420 has USB 2.0 on it. Used virtualbox with no hard drive and booted live from Linux live iso, then proceeded to do the install. Ok, so I saw a cool video about fully installing Linux on a flash drive for mobility (and easier than a live with persistence with my level of understanding).
