Let me first say that I've just installed Mint 14, and it kicks butt! Awesome, and the install was flawless-something that hasn't happened in a while for me, unfortunately. Glad to see someone sweated the small stuff, everything works without a hitch. Now I can start installing Linux on friend's computers without having to worry about a lot of weird stuff happening, and believe me, there's been plenty of weirdness lately, on all fronts with systemd, gnome, kernel foo-boos and whatnot. Glad to see something "just working," and if there's anything I want to "just work," it's Mint! Let the others re-invent the wheel every ten minutes, but leave Mint alone, dammit. Hats off to Clem and crew. Someone owes them a beer. Lots of beers. Beers with beers in their beers.
Now for what I'm trying to do. Simple, enough, I've got Fedora on another hard drive, and after installing Mint, I ran "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg," hoping to get grub to see Fedora and all would be good. That didn't work. I seem to remember a program called (something like...) osfinder, but Google and Synaptic didn't show anything by that name. Is there such a critter, or am I hallucinating. And if I am hallucinating, give me a bit, I want to enjoy it.
I know that grub used to have a problem finding ext4 file systems, but I though that had been fixed. Don't know if that's what I'm dealing with, but how do I get grub to find Fedora?
Thanks.

Re: Grub-Can't find other operating system
Got it! I tried coming at the problem from another angle, and unplugged the drive that Mint is on, and then booted into Fedora, and tried to get grub to "see" Mint from there. At first I was stumped, as Fedora's version of the grub update command ( grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ) didn't find Mint any better than Mint could find Fedora. Then I found a post saying that I have to mount the drive that the operating system I'm trying to get grub to find is installed on. So I found the hard drive that I have Mint on and mounted it, and then ran the grub update command. Now I have Mint and Fedora showing in my grub menu when I start. Too simple, after I found what I was missing.
