[SOLVED] Dual-boot or multi-boot of Linux Lite (and others) with Windows 7

[br1anstorm]

Well, gold_finger, the story continues.....

Latest chapter.  I tried the "austin.texas" route of inserting the LL entry into Mint's Grub boot menu.  I successfully copied and pasted into the 40_custom file and saved it.  But then in the terminal I got this:

Code:

(gedit:2731): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.I614AY': No such file or directory

(gedit:2731): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to set the permissions of `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or directory

(gedit:2731): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.O5O0AY': No such file or directory

(gedit:2731): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to set the permissions of `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or directory

I have no idea what all that means.  But I assume the inserting/pasting was unsuccessful.  Your most recent post appeared to suggest that it might not work.  So I am about to try your advice to

start again but right-click LL root partition and choose "Open as root/administrator"; then copy and paste the menu entry again.

Will post follow-up once I have tried that.
