I had 100GB of free <br>
space at the end of the disk. I decided I wanted to install mint19.3 in <br>
the free space. I booted from the Mint19.3 install dvd. I used gparted <br>
to shrink the Ubuntu partition so I ended up with about 195GB of free <br>
space. I then had gparted create a new partition in the free space and <br>
installed Mint19.3.<br>
<br>
This is my configuration:<br>
<br>
Partition 1 = sda1 - Ubuntu18<br>
<br>
Partition 2 (extended) = sda6 - Mint18.3<br>
sda5 - swap<br>
<br>
Partition 3 = sda3 - Mint19.3<br>
<br>
When the Mint19 install rebooted the first time I noticed the grub menu <br>
was visually much larger looking than I normally saw under Mint18.3 but <br>
I didn't think much of it. When I was done working with Mint19.3 I <br>
restarted the system when the overly large grub menu cam up the only <br>
options were Mint19.3 & Ubutu18, Mint18.3 was not shown.<br>
<br>
I booted to Ubuntu and did some googling and read the solution was to <br>
run sudo update-grub2. I ran it. As the output scrolled by I did see <br>
Mint18.3, but when I rebooted Mint18.3 still was not an option. I booted <br>
to Mint19.3 and ran the sudo update-grub2 command but still Mint18.3 is <br>
not an option in the grub menu.<br>
<br>
It's been a while since I have installed a fresh OS so what do I need to <br>
do to get Mint18.3 to show up in grub. I upgraded Ubuntu16 to 18 so grub <br>
was not involved there.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Jim<br>
