Greetings All!

Just to see whether I can improve performance on R31 Thinkpad installed with Xubuntu 16, I just installed Porteus 3.1 on the same only partition for dual booting. It works, all my Xubuntu files totally untouched, only thing now is the machine keeps only booting into Porteus whether I use F12 and F8 or not, no boot select or "grub" menu or anything. I wish to return to Xubuntu to stay yet keep Porteus as a crash recovery backup. I used Boot-Repair but Porteus still keeps loading on over Xubuntu. So can anyone recommend a Linux dual-boot menu maker? Because this message system won't post over 30000 characters I can't post Boot-Repair read-out here!

Thanks for any assist!

Jim in NYC

Boot repair should have generated a URL where the output was loaded to - post the link.

Thanks, but ironically my R31 Thinkpad requites a NewTek WIFI dongle which only Xubuntu is compatible with, not Porteus or the Boot-Repair disk, but I'll see whether I can multi-post segments of the read-out here.

=================== Suggested repair
The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would purge (in order to) and reinstall the grub2 of sda1 into the MBRs of all disks (except USB without OS).
Grub-efi would not be selected by default because: no-win-efi
Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s


=================== Advice in case of suggested repair
Warning: continuing without internet would leave your system unbootable. Please connect internet.
Do you want to continue?


=================== Final advice in case of suggested repair
Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda (30.0GB) disk!


=================== User settings
The settings chosen by the user will not act on the boot.

Thanks for any help!

The bootinfoscript, at the very top states that you have syslinux installed to the master boot record of the drive so you are using that to boot Porteus. There should be a syslinux.cfg or a txt.cfg file somewhere where you could add an entry for Xubuntu. I don't use syslinux very often so can't help with that. The other option is to reisntall Grub2 from Xubuntu and update-grub. Several options are explained at the Ubuntu documentation site below. One of the options is to use boot repair and at the bottom of the boot repair, it indicates it would try to repair by installing Grub2 to the MBR which should work. There is a comment indicating that you need to be connected to the internet and you apparently were not when you ran the script?

No, my R31 has no internet at all. I'm checking out drivers for RealTek 8088 wifi dongles but wish to clear this issue without need for wifi if I can. I'm following thru your recommendations.

Thanks,

When you did the Porteus frugal install, you should not have installed the bootloader - as the website says.
Follow the link above and use the "via LiveCD terminal" instructions - the grub-install should fix the Xubuntu boot. Then you'll need to make a stanza to boot the Porteus install.
