Quote:You mention you have Debian on the disk. Can you boot the Debian system? Grub can be repaired and edited from Debian, and you can also mount the LL volume and make changes.Yes I can boot Debian and the other distros.
Quote:To avoid this quirk in the future the boot order should have Windows 10 last, and Debian first, and Debian should also be the first system on the disk.Do you mean install Windows last, after the Linux distros? I've never done that before, I always thought Windows ignored your other distros so you lost your grub menu. To restore the grub menu, would I then just boot from a live USB, mount the LL3 partition, and run the 'sudo grub-install...' same as previous?
Quote:....and Debian first, and Debian should also be the first system on the disk.Funny you should mention that with Debian, I have found that when you install Debian on a multiboot system after other distros have been istalled, is changes the partition numbers for the linux distros to the order they appear on the disk, and I have then had to fix slow boot times by changing the UUID for swap in '/etc/fstab' to fix the problem.
Quote:Otherwise try a Rescatux live cd to restore grub for Linux Lite. Easy to use GUI. No terminal work.I haven't used it before but I will give it a try and remember for future reference.
Thanks trinidad for your feedback on this problem, it is much appreciated.
