Good afternoon,
Yesterday i decided to install Ubuntu Gnome on my laptop (that was running Ubuntu 13.04)
SYSTEM INFO:
This laptop has a UEFI Bios also a SSD drive AND a regular hard drive.
/dev/sda <-- Regular drive
/dev/sda1 /home
/dev/sdb <--SSD
/dev/sdb1/ /
Bios boot priority are set:
1) USB HDD
2) My SSD drive
STEPS:
during my first install choose to install my grub boot loader to /dev/sdb/ and proceeded to do a offline install
ISSUE:
Once the system rebooted i received grub errors i believe the exact message was it could not find boot media /boot/grub
I then attempted a second fresh install and chose /dev/sdb1 instead.. still received the the same issue.
My Fix:
I used the live cd and went though the steps to add and install the PPA for the Boot-Repair tool.
I pointed it to both SDB and SDB1 (just to make sure). it did the usual grub install and boot detection.
then when i rebooted i was back into grub and was able to boot into Ubuntu Gnome.
Additional Notes:
Tested optimus hardware with bumblebee using proprietary Nvidia drivers. everything works great but glxspheres & virtualgl packages seems to be missing from the repository (was in Ubuntu 13.04)
Thanks!
