Need help with Linux Lite boot issue please
#5
@Lend27,

In other words, due to alterations to grub in LL, easiest thing to do is install LL's grub to the MBR of drive so it controls booting.

Boot into your installation of LL and enter these commands in a terminal to have its grub installed to the MBR of the boot drive.  (If boot drive is not "/dev/sda", substitute correct drive for your setup.)

Code:
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo update-grub

Next reboot should show all OS's and all (including LL) will now boot properly.

If you decide to delete LL from computer at some point in the future, just boot into whatever distro you want to control booting and install grub to the MBR in same fashion to take control away from LL.  Then you can delete/replace LL and still be able to boot into remaining OS's.  (If you forget to take boot control away from LL before deleting it, you can also re-install grub from live dvd/usb of whatever distro you want to have boot control -- so it's not that big a deal if you forget.)
