Grub customizer fails

[revmalc]

I am running Mint 17 but need a legacy installation as well.
I want to change the boot order in grub to go to Linux by default.
When I open grub customizer the oreder appears to be the one I want, with Linux the top line and maked deafault.
However, when I reboot, Windows comes up as top line.
I tried to change in Grub customizer, but when I treid to save changes I got:


failed running 'grub-mkconfig -o "/boot/grub/grub.cfg"' output:

Not an expert but what version of GC are you running ? The current is 5.0.6. It does ask you for your user password ? Any particular reason you didn't move to Mint 18 ?
May be your question is for the GC developer.
I always had good success with the program except for multi-Linux boot systems which you have to know which's in control of the grub loader.

Don't use Grub Customizer:

Open /boot/grub/grub.cfg in your text editor and look at line 242.

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg

OR - let us look:
Boot Mint and install boot-info-script:
Open a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+t
Install boot-info-script:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install boot-info-script

Then run the script:

Code: Select all

sudo bootinfoscript --stdout | pastebin

Post the resulting URL link that displays in the terminal.
