Hi, I'm running Win7 & Debian11 on a desktop PC. It was working fine, accessing both OS via Grub. Then I removed some older Windows installations on other drives, and this messed up Windows boot, so had to run BOOTREC from Win install media. This fixed Win7 but no longer see the Grub menu. I kno...

I am sure this is basic, but I haven't been able to resolve it... I'm new to Linux and have just installed Debian10 a couple of days ago. Now I am trying to install programs. Most instructions begin "sudo.. and most of them fail. I can run some from root. sudo is expecting the root password rig...

I have Debian10 installed on M.2 SSD in a Dell laptop. I also have a 2Tb HDD, but I have to enter the password to access it using Gnome 'Files' app. How do I configure it to mount automatically? And can I give it an alias name, as it is listed as "2.0 TB Volume" which is not very elegant? ...

thanks for replies. I formatted and installed Debian on 2nd drive, then followed a tutorial to edit GRUB, now it boots fine to Debian on the SSD. Thanks for your help, so this issue is closed. # sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Disk model: CT1000P5...

thank you p.H and Sunrat, for your replies. Sorry for not being clear enough: with both drives enabled in the bios, and logged on to Debian (SSD), in file explorer it could not see the SATA HDD (but it could see a 3rd external usb NTFS drive). I'll run the grub commands later today; so even without ...

Hi, I am a beginner to Linux, moving from Windows. I have a fairly new Dell Inspiron laptop, with an M.2 SSD drive on which I have successfully installed Debian 10, with Gnome & Cinnamon packages. The machine also has a SATA drive with Windows 10 installed, I wish to remove Win10 and be fully De...
