Changing from XFCE 64bit to Fluxbox 64bit [Solved]

[pete67]

@Charlie Brown, well MX-23.1 is installed and I could restore my programs as before, but Grub doesn't recognize my Win11 and so I cannot but it but this is another theme and I will now search the forum for a solution.

Thanks until here. You helped me very well.

Glad to hear it's ok now.

The reason for that Windows issue is (in general), i.e. Windows was installed when it was set to Uefi and later you install any Linux when it's Legacy .. (or the vice versa) .. etc..

In the worst case we can create a custom entry.

Still nothing to lose to manually:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

Code: Select all

sudo update grub

brings

Code: Select all

$ sudo update-grub

Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration

So I think we must try the 40_custom version

As I wrote to fehlix in this new thread viewtopic.php?t=78641

there I wrote:
To edit

/etc/grub.d/40_custom

and insert under the

exec tail -n +3 $0

the following:

Code: Select all

menuentry 'Windows 11 Pro' {
search --fs-uuid --set=root $uuid
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi


Additionally I've looked up the UUIDs on my system with "blkid"

Code: Select all

$ blkid
/dev/nvme0n1p2: LABEL="NVMe-SSD_980_Games" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="3860FBFB60FBBE26" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="94094084-1aa0-47a4-a911-a3b485a99a5f"

/dev/sdc2: LABEL="Samsung_870_QVO_SATA-SSD" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="1C4C54294C53FFC6" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="e0c1e71a-bc60-4e17-874b-41e3820eb3e6"

So I assume I could try it with the UUID "068CFCA08CFC8C05" but I'm unsure how to name the chainloader command due to the target "under Program Files (x86)/AOMEI/bootmgfw.efi"

But if that is not possible to take for the chainloader command I assume to take the standard under

Code: Select all

chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

so that I can boot Win11 again and than I can restore that part of AOMEI Backupper again under Windows what will not harm MX Grub.
