New installation, grub problem.

keos

Hello,

After installing the system and updating it I see that it does not appear in the mxlinux23 entries, although it recognizes it by the command line after 'update-grub' -- but when the system (mx23) opens, the entry for solus does not appear.

I moved in the Bios to Solus to open first and it does but none of the other systems appear anymore, maybe I did something wrong during the installation; what is the equivalent for update-grub here?

I know only the basic commands eopkg install remove and upgrade that I found ...

Thanks for some advice.

Do i have to re-install the system?

thanks

"Legacy/BIOS installation
Legacy installations on Solus use the GRUB boot loader on an MBR disk. Only one boot loader can be used on an MBR disk, so if you haven't installed the Solus boot loader on the MBR, you will need to boot into the other OS and update GRUB prior to being able to boot Solus. This will also be required on each update of the kernel to ensure you're booting the latest release."

(I typed 'grub' into search bar--there are similar issues as yours).

hope this helps. my install is uefi so I have no first-hand knowledge

Another option to dual booting.
Sharing your boot path with several OSs can be a royal pain as faults inflicted by one OS can break all the others.
An alternative would be to run a virtual machine inside your current OS. A suggestion would be to use Oracle VM VirtualBox which is available from the Solus repository.
Obviously this all depends on why a shared boot is required. Running an operating system from within another will always create a performance overhead. If you are just looking for a few features that the primary OS does not support then a virtual machine has many convenient productivity options that are just not possible with a shared boot setup.
