Hello

I have been using a Acer Travelmate laptop with dual booting of Ubuntu and Windows for over two years without any problems. But after fetching the latest updates for Ubuntu the laptop will no longer boot Ubuntu, it boots only Windows. I tried the Boot Repair utility included on a Ubuntu 12.10 distro but there was no perceivable effect. I re-installed Ubuntu, and the problem persists: the reboot after installation proceeds normally, but once Ubuntu has been updated it no longer boots. It does not even boot in recovery mode. I also use dual booting on a PC, without any problems of this sort.
