I was replying on mobile and couldn`t find the mark solved function.
Anyway, done.

I ended up using Ethernet and installing Ubuntu mate 16.04.
No wifi

Xubuntu 14.04 on an iMac dualbooting with OSX. Wireless stopped on July 25.

In troubleshooting I tried reinstalling the broadcom drivers (after power cycling and recreating the wifi profile).

gparted failed again to Check. 100MB bug I guess

trying to chown boot-sav but Operation is not Permitted

:(

changed fstab to defaults
rebooted

sorry oldfred but can you walk me through this?

Thanks gedakc, so nice to verify a bug

Old Fred, how do you back it up? Throughout this I haven't been able to even view it. Win10 doesn't see it in explorer (but does in Disk Mgt), and ubuntu...

why gparted...

Could be full b/c I have been having trouble installing KDE Neon and have done it several times lately. (doesn't seem to like nVidia)

I will boot into Boot-repair tonight and post the boot-info results.

Thank you so much. I don't however see what this has to do with booting so much as drive space allocation.

I believe this partition was created by Win10 when I installed it.

My main distro right now is kubuntu on another partition.

the /boot/efi partition got filled (100 mb - unusual?) so with...

Switched back to nouveau driver and now it's fast again.

Boot Info Summary:
Drive/Partition Info:
"ls -l /dev/disk/by-id" output:
Mount points:

sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg:
sda1/etc/fstab:

Is there a tutorial for reading boot-info?

Seems there are instructions everywhere on how to create it and it ends there.

Okay, I'm logged into Kubuntu 16.04 with nVidia driver 364.19

Neon was always sdc. sdc is the main while sda is alternate (used to be main and pre-existed)
ESP?

UEFI confuses me.
