[SOLVED] Linux Lite Won't Run
#6
Strange that you can boot into Voyager, but not LL.  Can you also boot into Fedora?  Is LL first on the list or last?

I'm assuming computer is relatively new, so probably has UEFI firmware instead of old BIOS firmware.  Make sure you have UEFI settings set to boot in CSM/Legacy mode and not UEFI mode.  (I'm guessing it is already set that way, but check the settings anyway to be sure.)

Try using live LL USB to re-install grub.  Commands below assume that your Root partition for LL is /dev/sda2 from what you posted before.  If that is not the case, substitute correct partition below where I have /dev/sda2.

# Boot using live LL USB and open a terminal.

# Mount your root partition to /mnt
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt

# Run following command to install grub.  (NOTE:  line ends in /dev/sda, not sda2.)
Code:
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda

# Unmount your partition.
Code:
sudo umount /dev/sda2

# Close terminal and reboot computer.

# You should now be able to boot into LL.  Do that.  If other OS's didn't show up in menu on your reboot, then run this terminal command (from your installed Linux Lite) to add them to menu:
Code:
sudo update-grub

# Done.

Computer should properly boot all OS's now.  Let us know how it goes.
