I am an Ubuntu noob. I have had a problem trying to restore a dual-boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu 30.04 installation. The computer had Windows 7 installed for about a year. Three days ago I installed the secure-remix of Ubuntu 13.04 (successfully). Yesterday When I rebooted (no significant changes that I know of) grub said it couldn't access normal.mod (as in: http://askubuntu.com/questions/325839/file-error-boot-grub-i386-pc-normal-mod-trying-to-repair-boot-live-dvd-install)
I booted from a live CD and attempted to use boot-repair. It fails with the error "Please enable a repository containing the [linux] packages in the software sources of Linux-Secure-Remix-64bit 20may2013 (sda5). Then try again." (record here http://paste.ubuntu.com/6457960/)
I tried to add all the repository sources but boot-repair still seems to fail. I would like to know, is it just that it can't access a required repository or is something else wrong? Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu? I think that the secure remix includes clean-ubiquity which backs up my MBR, but not sure what I can do with that.
Thanks for the help, it is really appreciated as this is my work computer and I have work I really need to do :)
