Would be nice to know. Except for DOS VM in OS/2, I don't use any VMs.

I only use VMs for testing and experimentation. After some playing around found out the etc/default/grub.d/50_linuxmint.cfg is in the filesystem.squashfs file of the linuxmint iso directory casper. The casper/filesystem.squashfs file gets extracted to the targeted root partition during installation.

I've never used casper . My installations normally result from downloading the installation initrd and kernel, then loading them with Grub, using my own selection of cmdline options that do not require casper involvement.

Does your linuxmint system have a

Code:

 /usr/share/ubuntu-system-adjustments/systemd/adjust-grub-title

Not if you spelled it right:

Code:

# inxi -S
System:
  Host: ab85m Kernel: 6.5.0-18-generic arch: x86_64 bits: 64
  Console: pty pts/0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia
# ls -Gg /usr/share/ub*
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/ub*': No such file or directory
#

This is a straight install using whole disk from the latest linuxmint iso in a vm for testing purposes:

Code:

plive@plive-VirtualBox:~$  inxi -S

I have mint cinnamon recently installed on internal SSD. EFI boot with windows 10 and manjaro on the same disk. If any files from me would be helpful let me know...
