Hi All,
I have 2 disks on my pc (one for OS, one only for datas).
Disk one contained windows 8.1 and xubuntu 18.04. It booted with grub 2.2. After testing ubuntu 19.10 :KSon a VM, i decided to install it on the xubuntu 18.04 partition
with a iso written on usb key. I chose "Replace Ubuntu" and install began correctly (except i couldn't uncheck upgrade while install) but
at the end, when grub should be installed, a popup windows told me grub failed and install program crashed :(. Then a small bug report was automaticaly intended
to be sent to the team. unfortunately, i didn't have network at this stage. I restarted the computer, noticed grub changed from version 2.2 to 2.4 and stalled on command line.
I tried a new install from live session and got the same problem. I ran boot-repair from a new live session but i don't understand the problem (efi pb ??). Ubuntu 19.10 files
seems to be actually present. My kubuntu partition was split in 2 with a new efi fat32 partition.
To recover my windows system, i overwrote the "boot chain system".
I'm curious to know what was going wrong and what i can do to reinstall dual-boot which perfectly worked before.
boot-repair report is in attachment.
Thank for your advice.
