For reasons I won't go into, I decided to install Linux Mint 17.3 alongside LL 2.8. Everything proceeded smoothly, but when the GRUB menu displayed and when I tried to run LL, I received an error message: file name expected.
I've never had issues with dual-booting previously and am somewhat concerned presently. I've checked on the forum and have found this issue mentioned before - it appears to be a bug in GRUB however I'm not sure if previous problems are similar to mine. One suggestion was to post the results of sudo update-grub - here they are:
paul@paul-desktop ~ $ sudo update-grub

I'm not the brightest spark going around and would appreciate step by step instructions.
Thanks
Paul
