Hello,

I just installed Solus to replace Mint on my laptop.
The thing is that I commanded that laptop specifically to be able to use Windows 10 and Linux, so I have 2 different 250 Gb SSD : 1 SSD for Windows 10 (still there) and 1 SSD for Linux.
First time I installed Manjaro, saying I wanted to install automatically Linux in the whole Linux SSD, no problem, it installs it and also installed Grub with it to allow me to choose what OS I want to use. When I replaced Manjaro by Mint, I did the same thing, and I still had Brub installed.

For Solus, I did the same thing, saying I wanted to installed automatically Solus on the Linux SSD to replace Mint (Note: I'm too bad to install Linux manually), but it looks like Solus failed to detect the other SSD still with Windows 10 and didn't install Grub. So when I turn on my laptop, I automatically run on Solus.

So, my questions are:

  • How can I fix that and install Grub after I installed Solus to boot on the 2 OS?
  • And especially, since I will also need to do the same thing for my desktop computer, which also have 2 SSD for Windows and Linux, what did I do wrong so I can avoid to meet the same issue when replacing Mint on that computer too?

Thanks in advance.

Solus uses clr-boot-manager to configure either systemd-boot on EFI install or GRUB2 on BIOS install. By default, systemd-boot timeout is set to 0. You can change that by running this command :

sudo clr-boot-manager set-timeout 5 && sudo clr-boot-manager update

More info about boot management can found here. Cheers!

    alfisya Thank you very much! =D

    I'll check that tomorrow if I have time.
