xubuntu boots into memtest

[tiar]

Guys,

I was doing a standard software update. /boot was full, I've tried to clean up and screw up. Now I can boot olny into memtest.

I've tried boot-repaid but it didn't help. It's report is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/13261434/

What can I do to fix it?

According to Boot Repair the Grub configuration file grub.cfg has two entries for Memtest but no entries for Ubuntu. I guess that is because the Ubuntu partition (sda5) is encrypted. Not only is Boot Repair unable to access the encrypted partition but running update-grub would also be useless while the Ubuntu partition was still encrypted.

I can only guess at a solution. From the Ubuntu live session you can try decrypting the Ubuntu partition and then running


sudo update-grub
sudo grub-install /dev/sda

But for that to have any chance of success there will need to be at least one Linux kernel still left on the machine.

Regards.
