Wondering if anybody could give me some hints to help get
normal booting of my 14.04 system? Have a triple boot set
up with two versions of OSX in front of 14.04, which I
access using rEFInd, which then loads GRUB. Did a system
upgrade of OSX which has messed with rEFInd in the past .
. . fixed that, but, this time it seemed to mess with
GRUB. I tried the "Boot Repair Drive" and it did its
thing, but did not get me back into 14. Using SuperGrub 2
I can boot the system, and I ran "recovery mode" and went
through some of the listed items . . . that has not
revived the GRUB item so that normal booting can take
place.<br>
<br>
</div>
Had a thread posted on the main Ubuntu forum and got some
suggestions, some highly technical, sort of beyond my skill
level, . . . did the "update-grub" in the Terminal, etc . .
. . So, I can log in to 14 using SG2 and access the system,
I've got a number of added repos . . . if there was a way to
"re-install GRUB" w/o erasing and installing the whole
system, that would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
</div>
PS: When I use SG2 "detect grub cfg file" . . . it finds it,
synaptic shows that "grub2" is installed . . . something got
wonky and isn't "connecting" . . . . Any thoughts?<br>

Yes you can reinstall GRUB2...<br>
You boot a LiveCD and can reinstall GRUB2 from there<br>
the command grub-install will do it.<br>
You will need:<br>
--bootloader-id=ID<br>
the ID of bootloader. This option is only available
on EFI and<br>
Macs.<br>
I don't entirely know the syntax for installing on the Mac
MBR/GPT/EFI thing...<br>
It is a very odd system Apple uses.... however I think (in theory)
you should install it to the partition, rather than the MBR/GPT
thing that Apple uses...<br>
On a side note:<br>
if you don't want refind/refit:<br>

I have never done this, but it looks really interesting<br>
