Dual Booting LL 2.0 with other Ubuntu (14.04) based distros

[gold_finger]

The dual-boot problem only occurs when another OS's grub is in charge of booting computer.  Easiest way to solve the problem is to make sure LL 2.0 is in charge of booting.  You can do that in one of two ways:

1.  Install LL 2.0 last and direct grub bootloader installation to the MBR of the drive (which is normally the default on any installation).

2.  If LL 2.0 is already on system and you don't want to bother re-installing it again, you can direct a re-installation of grub using a live DVD/USB.  To do that, first determine which partition on the drive is your LL root partition, then follow instructions on this page to re-install grub while booted with LL install DVD/USB:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/...D_terminal.  If other OSs don't show on grub menu upon reboot, just boot into LL and run this in a terminal:

Code:

sudo update-grub

They'll all be on menu on subsequent boot-ups.


If you need help with any of this, post back with questions and details of your current situation:
-- What's already installed?
-- What is current partition layout?

• Post a screenshot from GParted and/or
  
• Output from these terminal commands:
  

Code:

sudo blkid
sudo parted -l

• If LL 2.0 is already installed, what partition is its root partition?  (If you know that.)
