[Bug 885983] Re: error: no such device: a6e9ac82-12c2-4c83-ac35-b7b29d8cc206

Thanks for reporting.

Have you tried using Boot-Repair to restore GRUB (the component that
allows Ubuntu to boot and that gave you an error)? You can install and
run it from an Ubuntu live CD (if you have got Internet access): boot
your Ubuntu live CD, connect to the Internet, then follow the
instructions at <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair>, section
"2nd option : install Boot-Repair in Ubuntu". After the main Boot-Repair
window appears, click on "Recommended repair". If the repair does not
succeed, the program will give you an URL; in that case, paste it here
so that I'll be able to determine what caused the error.

Tell me if it works; in these days, I'll try to reproduce the problem
myself to see if it is still present in the next release of Ubuntu and,
if so, I'll tell the developers so that they can fix the bug.

One last thing: you mentioned an antivirus software in your report. Do
you also have Windows installed? If so, which antivirus software have
you got? (Anyway, Windows antivirus software usually will not interfere
with Ubuntu, nor will it run in it, because it's a completely different
operating system).

Thanks again for making Ubuntu better!

Title:
  error: no such device: a6e9ac82-12c2-4c83-ac35-b7b29d8cc206

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I removed the printer from the computer.
  Re-installed Ubuntu using: Erase Ubuntu 11.10 and reinstall. (Warning: This will delete all your Ubuntu programs, documents, photos, music, and any other files). It obviously did not.
  Restarted computer, and the above message appeared.
  I once again re-installed, using Upgrade Ubuntu 11.10 to 11.10. (Documents, music, and other personal files will be kept.
  Installed software will be kept where possible. System- wide settings will be cleared).
  Restarted computer, to be confronted once again with, error: no such device: a6e9ac82-12c2-4c83-ac35-b7b29d8cc206.
  The computer will still only operate when the Cd is inserted and in Try Ubuntu mode.
  I have no idea if my anti-virus software software is working.
  THIS IS BEYOND A JOKE!!!!
