[β] Doxin@yiffit.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 child) Windows basically never nukes the actual linux install. It DOES like breaking the bootloader though. Which is fixable but still deeply annoying. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] svnipni@lemy.lol 10 points 2 years ago (2 children) Ah damn this is exactly what happened a few days ago. My popos boot entry suddenly disappeared. I can still just boot from the physical ssd it's installed on, but I found it strange it just pooped out somehow. Any pointers on how to fix it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] CoolingJam@lemmy.one 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) Here's an article on how to fix it. TLDR: You need to boot from a live disk, mount your install and reinstall the bootloader. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I still need to fix mine, thanks for the link. The weirdest break it did once was messing with my Wi-Fi driver, managed to break Linux' driver somehow, making the Internet a no go. Still no idea how Windows managed that though, they shouldn't be messing with my bios. :/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Make sure you disable fast boot in Windows. Iβve read that can put devices into a state where Linux canβt use them. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Doxin@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago I haven't had it happen to me for a while now. I used to have a boot repair liveCD that'd always do the trick, but I don't think that specific distro even exists anymore. The gist is you'll want to boot a liveCD and use the liveCD to reinstall GRUB, I'm sure you can find the right incantation to do so online somewhere. permalink fedilink source parent
