PCLOS 2016 Default OS Bootloader Issue

Greetings to all,

I installed PCLOS 2016 64KDE a while ago in a dual boot system with Windows 10.

 

I've set the default OS to windows, however PCLOS continues to load if no OS is selected.

 

Has anyone any ideas why PCLOS is not loading my default OS?

 

Thanks,

Scott

What is the first entry on the bootloader splash? Also, open up /etc/default/grub in a text editor and see which is the default entry loaded. It will say GRUB_DEFAULT= (replace with number) which denotes the default entry if none is chosen.

 

Basically, I think your default is PCLos and not Win 10.

Many thanks Security Breech.

 

Windows 10 is set to the default os via the Control Center/set up boot loader.

 

My Grub file doesn't have a GRUB_DEFAULT entry

 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" splash quiet noiswmd resume=UUID=1a29b4b7-acb5-4ec3-8670-950a92a4e0d9"

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=false

GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm

GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=PCLinuxOS

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub2/themes/pclinuxos/theme.txt

 

Any ideas?

Well it does but it's labeled differently. This is the partition that is booting first:

 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" splash quiet noiswmd resume=UUID=1a29b4b7-acb5-4ec3-8670-950a92a4e0d9"

 

Run blkid as root or sudo and look for the entry that says 1a29b4b7-acb5-4ec3-8670-950a92a4e0d9

 

That is the default partition that is booting.
