So, what you're saying you're saying is the only way for me to get into Ubuntu is to go into my EFI, and tell it to boot Ubuntu? I can't just let GRUB load, and...

Alright, that's a little annoying, as I'd prefer to not have to manually choose Ubuntu every time I turn my machine on.

Is there a way to fix it once I'm in the Ubuntu install? Like reinstalling...

So, I can't get into Ubuntu after installing it. It loaded once after I installed it, and has not loaded since. When I select Ubuntu in GRUB, I get a blank screen that does... nothing.

My machine...

Huh. No clue how that got there.

I can find anything. The only thing I have that's remotely "anti spyware" is my anti-virus (AVG Free, but I've turned OFF the "scan MBR" option.

I'm using a fresh install of 10.10 x64. ntfs-config won't load for me either. Same error message as the OP.

BURG configures a lot like GRUB2.

Ubuntu 8.04, on my home server
Ubuntu 9.04 on all my other machines
I'll be upgrading to 9.10 over the weekend on some of my machines, probably.

My old laptop will be skipping it. It'll prolly stay at 9.04 until it dies.

My netbook and desktop will be getting 9.10

And my home server, I only use LTS on it, so it stays at 8.04 for now.

I recently reformatted my laptop's entire hard drive, and on a whim, took a look at my partitions in Gparted. This is pretty much out of the box, with only a few things installed.

Prior to my conversion to Linux, I tended to use Lexmark printers. Lexmark isn't known for their Linux support.
