I can only boot into Ubuntu by first booting from my live USB and changing the boot drive in grub. I.e., not from a hard disk installation. After booting re-booting by changing disk priority in BIOS is flawless.
Throughout the history of this problem I get a variety of errors: Out of disk
, 'Unknown filesystem' (my current error). I've tried fixing it by re-installing GRUB, by using boot-repair
to re-install GRUB, and several other methods, with no results. Thank god you don't need to shut Ubuntu down frequently.
Under are the results of fdisk -l
