Tutorial How to Fix Broken Ubuntu Boot GRUB
Tutorial How to Fix Broken Ubuntu Boot GRUB
Boot Loader is an application used to select the operating system. The function of boot loader will be visible if we use more than one operating system on a single computer. The linux boot loader called GRUB. GRUB is GRand Unified Bootloader, the powerful bootloader that can load various operating systems.
In Ubuntu, GRUB boot loader configuration file located in /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
GRUB boot loader is broken because usually it happens on dual boot operating system. When you are after reinstall windows on dual booting, and existing GRUB cant display, so it will automatically go into windows without any option to enter into ubuntu. So whats the solution?
- Run Ubuntu with live CD
- Then select Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer
- After entering through live CD, run terminal
- Type the command:
sudo su
- Then type command:
fdisk -l
That command is used to display all disk partition. And then find your ubuntu partition. The linux partition is located in directory /dev/sda7. - Create a directory to mount partition using this command:
mkdir /media/root
- Then mount linux partition into the directory using this command:
mount /dev/sda7 /media/root
- We check the contents of the directory /media/root by using the following command:
ls /media/root
- Install GRUB on mounted directory /media/root using the following command:
grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda7
- If there is no error, please reboot your Ubuntu.
- Then GRUB menu will be display.

Ubuntu 12 10 Simplifies GRUB Boot Menu
Ubuntu 12 10 Simplifies GRUB Boot Menu
Ubuntu 12.10 features a minor but interesting change in GRUB2 Boot Menu.
Menu entries now have Ubuntu as the first option instead of Ubuntu with Linux (Kernel version). Everything else has been tucked into a new Advanced Options entry which lists older Kernels and recovery mode options.
Here is a screenshot of new boot menu:
Advanced Options:
New boot menu makes sense as any first time Linux user may get confused by recovery mode option and Kernel versions. A simple Ubuntu entry is enough to tell a user what to do in case he is presented with a boot menu.
By default GRUB menu is hidden and it is only shown when a system fails to shut properly or Shift key is held during boot time.
