[Bug 1907091] Re: 20.04.1 lts failed to install

[Wyn]

hi Jouni Mettala,
I failed too make any progress with Grub 
i tried working with the emergency command line esq screen and despite looking up the commands on an adjacent PC i could not make any progress.

After getting frustrated I ended up downgrading the machine to an
earlier version of Ubuntu 19.04 using an old dvd I have to boot it up.

The machine is a dual boot Win 10 / Ubuntu  machine it's an older i5
asus UX21E it runs extremely well on 19.04 and my plan is to try 20.10
probably on the weekend.

I have downloaded 20.10 onto a memory stick (which i've made bootable)
so after i decide if i want to try and keep the win 10 partition at all
I will either do a complete wipe and restart or just overlay the 19.04
partition.

Wyn
