Dual-Boot BunsenLabs with Win 10 installer issue SOLVED

Hey all,

I was a part of the #! Community a while back, while we were all waiting for what would come after Waldorf after Jessie came out, and then being heartbroken (God I want to make a HeartBleed pun) when it was announced that CrunchBang is dead. Bunsen is pretty, it makes me feel at home on my desktop. I just have a problem installing.

When I try to install Bunsen alongside my Windows 10 install, GRUB2 can't see the WBR. Any time I try to install anyway, I lose access to my Windows partition and I can't seem to find the script for GRUB2 to make it work.

This isn't an impossible task, Ubuntu variants handle it without breaking a sweat. What should I do to make it work?

Thanks!
Billy

EDIT: That fixed it. Thanks!

It sounds like your Windows system is installed in UEFI mode and the BunsenLabs ISO image does not support this.

As a workaround, you could use a Debian jessie netinstall ISO image instead:

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof … 1+nonfree/

This should detect your UEFI system and accommodate it automagically.

Make sure that all the desktops are de-selected (ie, un-check the tickbox) in the tasksel section of the installer.

After rebooting into the basic (command-line only) Debian jessie system, download and run the bunsen-netinstall script:

wget https://github.com/bunsenlabs/bunsen-netinstall/archive/master.tar.gz
tar -xpf master.tar.gz
cd bunsen-netinstall-master
./install
