#diskfilter writes error, and how do I stop from having to press enter to start mint eve
stiff sky
ok
brave tulip
first can I get the full error of disk filter?
second wdym having to press enter eve?
im guessing it got cutoff
is the error something like this similar to this:
error: diskfilter writes are not supported?
formal adder
is the error something like this similar to this:
`error: diskfilter writes are...
yes
it's just that on boot
formal adder
unfortunately i don't know what any of this means
crisp inlet
that would be my guess.
Diskfilter error during Linux Mint boot means GRUB is trying to write to a disk setup it cannot write to—usually because the system uses LVM, RAID, encryption, or certain filesystems, and GRUB’s “save environment” feature isn’t allowed to write there
1. Update your system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
2. Ensure GRUB is installed to the correct device
(example: install to /dev/sda — NOT an LVM volume)
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
3. Reinstall GRUB properly (Live USB method)
Boot Mint Live USB → mount system → chroot → reinstall GRUB
(sdXn is an placeholer, you need to change to your real path/partition)
sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub

crisp inlet
it must be installed on the boot disk

that would be my guess.

no need for a reinstall, issue can solved by writing GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=false on
/etc/default/grub
formal adder
so i do this in the terminal? i
brave tulip
yes sudo nano /etc/default/grub
formal adder
so do i just write it in or it exists somewhere
brave tulip
look for #GRUB_DEFAULT=0 under that add GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=false

yes would probably work, just not when the disk layout itself prevents GRUB from functioning (like encrypted /boot or missing bootloader install).
all depends on what the "underlaying" error is.
i think you got this @brave tulip i'm gonna drop
formal adder
Ok I did it
formal adder
can I see the file?
If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.
For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=false
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=( . /etc/os-release; echo ${NAME:-Ubuntu} ) 2>/dev/null || echo Ubuntu
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
If your computer has multiple operating systems installed, then you
probably want to run os-prober. However, if your computer is a host
for guest OSes installed via LVM or raw disk devices, running
os-prober can cause damage to those guest OSes as it mounts
filesystems to look for things.
#GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'

Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
brave tulip
great now do sudo update-grub
formal adder
Done,
formal adder
restart and see if the error is still there
alright, i got one more thing to ask you
when i boot, how can i get rid of "boot linux mint"
i just want it to automatically boot, without being given the window to make choices
brave tulip
alright, i got one more thing to ask you
but you already have GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 that should skip the boot selection and boot into mint directly

Just rebooted, got the window ahain
And im getting the diskfilter error again
brave tulip
disable recordfail, sudo nano /etc/grub.d/00_header
find set recordfail=1 and add a # in the beginning so it would like #set recordfail=1
then sudo update-grub
alpine copper
Just rebooted, got the window ahain
you didn't even write the stuff into the grub file
sudo xed /etc/default/grub
and make damn sure this is in there.

dont recommend nano to noobs for editing. tell them to use xed
nevermind, they did add it. just the formatting of text they pasted is shit
alpine copper
when i boot, how can i get rid of "boot linux mint"
if dual boot, it will always show.
or u turned it on from System Administration
brave tulip
dont recommend nano to noobs for editing. tell them to use xed
mb, that was easiest editor that popped in my head
alpine copper
i'd say to @formal adder to show the result via SCREENSHOT, from a wide terminal the result of lsblk -f to see what the heck's going on with their disk and partitions/filesystems
formal adder
if dual boot, it will always show.
i dont dual boot, and
formal adder
turn second switch off.
"remember the last selected choice as the default?"
or the delay thing
alpine copper
turn second switch off.
.
alpine copper
delay put to 5
it wont matter anyway because top switch is off
TURN ALL SWITCHES OFF!
ffs
do you KNOW WHAT A SWITCH LOOKS LIKE??
formal adder
alpine copper
close that and show System Administration app
formal adder
formal adder
formal adder
Do you want me to copy and paste it, changing the window doesn't make a change on the text
alpine copper
ok send the text fully

both what?
alpine copper
idk what ur talking about
show photographs of both
if it's easy enough, just reinstall Mint. and DONT choose LVM
else you're on ur own for that

any news on this, @formal adder ?
