Solved..

This is what I used to fix my laptop when I installed  linuxlite 3.8 in January.  I have found it again and have used it on Linuxlite 4.0....so far so good.

If it's solved, then please mark it as such. It is not just the forum policy, it also saves time for us others. Thanks!

Thank you so much...

You're welcome.

Thank you so much....I give up.  I re-installed 3.8. Nice to be on familiar ground.

Tried to reconfigure grub...."directory non-existent"

Certainly, the directory SHALL be non-existent, until you mount the device with your Linux!

Do you remember the terminal command? Here it is:

Try to reconfigure the grub:

sudo update-grub --output=/mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

mnt = mount the boot partition for the grub

Open gparted (it should be included in the distro) to see what number is the sda partition of the device with your prior Linux (in case you have several Linux'es on your HDD).

I have my Linux on /dev/sda6 (your number may be different).

When you find out the number of your sda partition, do the following (step by step):

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt

sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

sudo update-grub --output=/mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Change "6" for YOUR number in the first command!!!

Wait until every command finishes successfully.

That's it! Enjoy!

I think I had to add a line of commands to grub or something. I wish I could remember. Anybody have any ideas?

Maybe you will have to fully recover the grub according to the instructions here (NB: the page is in Russian, translate it in Chromium-browser or using other means). Good luck!

(SOLVED) I was running linuxlite 3.8 back in November and laptop would freeze after 20 minutes or so... Got it fixed by getting the info I needed (changed a line in grub or something). I just upgraded to Linuxlite 4.0 and it has started again. I can't find the information now. I think I had to add a line of commands to grub or something. I wish I could remember. Anybody have any ideas?
