Ubuntu was running no problems on this laptop before I attempted a reinstall. I simply want a standard default install, no dual-boot.
During installation bootloader failed to install. I continued without a bootloader hoping to install grub from the live cd afterwards (i hoped boot-repair would work). I am confused by the /dev/mapper I keep being greeted with. For example sudo fdisk -l
returns
~ $ sudo fdisk -l
