[ubuntu-studio-users] Error 1965

[Yves Yves]

Greetings Thomas,
 OK, so set boot to LEGACY and  Hard-drive to 1st boot in all options again. Also  disabled quick boot. Here is what happened the previous time and now this time in the terminal - when trying your suggestion;

ubuntu-studio at ubuntu-studio:~/Desktop$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda; sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'.

Weird thing is UBUNTU installed & worked fine on this PC one week ago and it was only when trying to do a clean install of UBUNTUSTUDIO that things started to fail.

That's odd. Are you still able to successfully install regular Ubuntu like this? Maybe this could in fact be an Ubuntu Studio specific issue, then.

In case you are able to install Ubuntu, you could just sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer and "upgrade" your regular Ubuntu to a Studio that way. It will work the same, just look different. If you are able to install Xubuntu, the difference will be even less, just visually.


sudo grub-install /dev/sda; sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
...according to all the info you now have been sent about this , should  dev/sada be 1 or 2 or what ?

Nothing, just /dev/sda. However this may only work if you disable everything UEFI boot. You should try this, it would be my preferred method of installing, anyway.
