Bare with me I'm still not very proficient in Linux.
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty
I recently updated in the terminal as I always do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
It updated linux headers. I was using 3.13.0-85-generic. The update included 3.13.0-86-generic. Then I believe grub updated. I used to dual boot with windows on a separate hard drive but that Windows drive had a fatal error months ago. It's still in the computer though.
After restarting after this update I get a black screen that says "Command not found" with a bunch of other stuff that goes far too quickly to read. It then arrives at the black GNU Grub version 2.02 screen. I can boot into the system after entering this at the GNU Grub screen:
grub> set pager=1
grub> set root=(hd0,1)
grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-85-generic root=/dev/sdb1
grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-85-generic
grub> boot
(If I try booting to 3.13.0-86-generic, it says "invalid magic number") I got these instructions from this link: https://www.linux.com/learn/how-rescue-non-booting-grub-2-linux
I've also applied the "Making permanent repairs" code once I've booted into the system. I mean I've udpated grub and installed it by doing the following:
update-grub
# grub-install /dev/sdb
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
None of this seems to work. Every time I restart I have to boot through the GNU Grub screen again
using the same code I first posted.
Any advice? I can't seem to boot to the 3.13.0-86-generic nor can I boot as I normally did even using the 3.13.0-85-generic.
Thanks in advance. Let me know if I can clarify anything.
