Boot problems -- Ubuntu as main Operating system

[wayneeusa]

Hello Linux users,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio as my main operating system without Windows. I've installed Ubuntu Studio several times and run boot-repair about as many times.

Two things: Ubuntu Studio doesn't seem to completely finsih installation because it can't save some Grub file to /target/

Also, Grub only actually booted once after my third try on boot-repair. It hasn't run since. This last boot-repair didn't seem to run through the whole process, but gave me a successful message.

The boot-repair paste URL is: http;//paste.ubuntu.com/68534871/

Other paste URL's from previous tries are: http;//paste.ubuntu.com/6830833/
http;//paste.ubuntu.com/6834290/
http;//paste.ubuntu.com/6835113/

Finally, I wish I had a sure way to check my hdd is ok. During one install, I couldn't install next to my previous one because it couldn't repartition.

Any help is appreciated.

Wayne

Hi welcome to UF.

This link is being reported as 'Does not exist yet'. The boot-repair paste URL is: http;//paste.ubuntu.com/68534871/

After a bit of editing managed to get this one. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6853471/ which looks like it has nothing to do with your computer.

Could you post the link to the correct one or a new one please.

Welcome. Yes, repost your boot info with a valid link.

Taking an outside stab here; are you booting in legacy and do you have four partitions on that drive already?
