all4naija: If what the other dude stated above is too complicated for you then do this:

1. Boot to your live CD or USB.

2. Select 'Try Ubuntu without any change to your Computer'

3. Connect your system.

4. Press CTRL+ALT+T keys to enter terminal.

5. Copy and paste sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update into terminal and press ENTER

6. copy and paste sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair into terminal and press ENTER.

7. Boot repair will pop up. Choose recommended repair and wait for the grub to be repaired.

8. Restart your system without a live CD or USB .

got it up and running, thanks

4llerbuntu: You should have uninstalled the WUBI install first, before doing the hard drive install



[size=18pt]Solution[/size]


Tool required:

Live CD/USB of Ubuntu




Procedure:

* Boot using your live CD


* Select " Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer "

* Once you've login to desktop run Terminal ( Application > Accessories > Terminal )


* Change to root, using this [enter only red lines] command in Terminal:



[size=16pt]ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo -i[/size]
root@ubuntu:~#



* Find partition location of your Ubuntu:


[size=16pt]root@ubuntu:~# fdisk -l[/size]




example output:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x10031003

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 6375 19457 105089197+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 6375 11473 40957686 7 HPFS/NTFS

* Create mount-point for ubuntu's partition



[size=16pt]root@ubuntu:~# mkdir /media/root[/size]




* Mount the partition using this line:



[size=16pt]root@ubuntu:~# mount /dev/sda6 /media/root[/size]

adapt tis to your allocation table the SDA.....




* Confirm your root location by typing this line:



[size=16pt]root@ubuntu:~# ls /media/root[/size]





example output
bin dev initrd.img lib32 media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz
boot etc initrd.img.old lib64 mnt root srv usr vmlinuz.old
cdrom home lib lost+found opt sbin sys var





if those line above appear, you may proceed by installing GRUB 2:




[size=16pt]root@ubuntu:~# sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda[/size]


it should give no error messages!!




* Reboot your system! remove the livecd!!!


No Windows ?
No worries,





* Boot to your ubuntu


* Run Terminal to update GRUB2 so that grub able to identify mount-point location for Windows. This can be done by typing this command in Terminal:



[size=16pt]ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo update-grub2[/size]




example output:
Generating grub.cfg ,
Found Debian background: apollo.tga
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-15-generic

Try reboot again & you should be able to see Windows at Grub menu.

koman: Have anybody here heard d word "SCHADENFREUDE"?
It means malicious enjyment wen u fill dat a is suffering.
I tink dats wats happenin here, ppl tink dat apple is sufferin and so de fill happy.
Sorry 2 burst ur bobbles guyz cus apple is nt at all.
D fact dat u cant afford an apple gadget does'nt mean u shld open ur mouth wide and vormith rubbish even wen u knw nothin abt d product in qustn.
I'm jus waitin 4d official comparison btw gs3 and iph5 so u haters can shut up and appreciate the king of kings in d smart word.
Comparing apple 2 sammy is lyk comparin Benz or BMW 2 Toyota products.
THEM NO BE MATE AT ALL OH!.

talking price, apple products aren't the most expensive. They just have a unique closed system.

aasog1: Who knew Sammy will end up eating Apple. Lol. Anyways, I'm still waiting for its spec and function video on youtube before I make up my mind about it.

you can check this out while you wait http://mblog.gsmarena.com/the-mystery-behind-the-apple-a6-processor/

4llerbuntu: strangely, i personally think this is not a bad release. at least they finally released a decent sized fone.

fact is its d best iphone yet. if u already buy into that ecosystem.

me wont buy it, for the exact same reasons i didnt buy previous iterations. there is no change.

but for pple who love it, its a compelling product.

i just dont see any new stuff to make me change my mind, but i guess for that to happen, apple will change totally!


verdict 7/10

well said, for those already in love with the product line, its enough improvement. While for others it could be the opposite.

princysharma90: I am getting in love with this phone. Really very cool.
I am having iPhone 3GS but after the release of iPhone 4, I thought I should have this one but now, I want only iPhone 5..Its very slim and also its screen is larger than the iPhone 4.

better change that 3GS, cos they're throwing it out the window. Production stops with the iphone 5 release

trent9002: Those calling it rubbish, the truth is you don't have the money to buy it. Stop trying to console yourself

bruv the unlocked prices aren't even out yet. #smh

DaWhiz: Gbam! U said it all! An iExperience is all it takes... Smh! They have no idea. Ko ye won... Smh!

thats a Fan speaking. Talking about durability, they don't stand out. But they're okay

wirelex: The contract prices are quite fair. I wonder what the actual unlocked prices would be when they get to naija?

imagine going up from the price of the iphone 4s. Definitely not below 140k for the 16GB version. #iCrap

Adehwale: LMAO...a case of a pig about to teach a dog how to be hygenic.

it so happens that pigs are more hygienic than dogs

Same thing that happened with demonoid. I hope they don't block it tho

Good Evening Sires,
was experiencing this problem with my ubuntu 11.10(oneiric ocelot). I initially installed it using wubi, then after some time wanted to do a live install alongside windows 7. The install was smooth, but the problem came after restart. I get a screen with the message "grub rescue" and thats all. I seem to not be able to get past it. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks
