MX Linux Forum

Hi all,
Searched in the forum but could not find the key combinations. Tried Alt T, Control T, Command T but no such luck. Also went into the settings menu but did not know how to create my own custom keys. Please advise and thanks.

Thought that I would share with you all that I was successful in downgrading GRUB to a previous stable version. The guy over at Xerolinux had a very detailed you tube version showing step by step instructions. Once GRUB is reinstalled, all my other distributions came back. I will closed this topic ...

Wow, thanks fehlix. A lot of good stuff to digest. Many terms I am not familiar with such as NVRAM, and when I go into UEFI System Setup, etc. Will study this some before proceeding. Will report back once I get started. Best regards.

fehilix, before I do the above precedures, should I disconnect the other SSD's so that they would not be affected by this change. I asked because after I upgraded to MX23, all the other linux distributions on the other SSD's stop booting up when the pc is powered up? Thanks.

Before I post the requested codes, I don't know how to insure that I am posting the correct information from the SSD and not the flash drive USB. When I hit the ...

More than dual, I have Windows 10 Pro, and 3 other Linux distributions on separate SSD.

I see what you mean. I guess that I don't know how to get the MX23 system info. When I look at the SSD where it is installed, it is labeled MX23 with folders root, boot, home, ...
Any ideas how I should proceed?
