installed Kubuntu 24.04 on USB, grub needs USB inserted
by ivery from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MSWE)
I thought I'd try kubuntu 24.04 from USB before partitioning/installing on my Windows 11 Nuc.
I booted from a live USB and installed on a second USB drive.
All good to that point.
I hadn't realised that Grub would be installed on the system HD boot partition.
That in itself is not a problem as I can still boot Kubuntu or Windows from there.
But, Grub requires the Kubuntu USB drive to be plugged in, otherwise it doesn't display the boot menu.
Instead, it shows a grub command prompt with a message saying
"minimal bash-like editing is supported . . . ."
Grub is V2.12
I'd like to keep the grub-based boot sequence but not have the dependency on having the USB drive plugged in.
Now that I'm happy with using Kubuntu, I plan on installing it on the Nuc.
I installed grub customiser and could successfully re-order the entries.
Is it save to remove the current USB Kubuntu entries from grub using this application?
I'm fairly new to all of this so please also let me know what other important stuff I'm overlooking.
