Haha. Computers are foolproof but there's no proof against fools. Best read the instructions ... :)

Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 clic !
Should I have made a backup first??
Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 clic !
Hello
@Luke : good remark. Yes Boot-Repair creates a /clean folder in all OSs partitions. It contains logs and MBR backups, so I strongly suggest you don't remove it. The /clean folder is duplicated in all OSs partitions for security purpose. If really you want to remove it, you can do it from a live-CD or from your Ubuntu.
@JASONFUSARO : on your first attached screenshot, we can see that no OS was selected at the right side of "OS to boot by default" line. This probably means that os-prober did not detect any Linux on your computer. Please can you send me by email (yannubuntu att gmail dott com) a ZIP of your /var/log/clean folder ? (so that I can understand your situation and help you better)

If you look closely I selected sda6 in the lower area and that folder does not exist, although I am looking in sda6 (UbuntuStudio64)
Now if you look at the second screenshot there is a clean folder but that is in my Toorox which is on sda10 (TooroxGnome64) but when I ran the Boot Repair I was running UbuntuStudio
The last Screenshot is my current partiton scheme

can you please explain:
After solving a problem in the forum, don't forget to improve the Wiki !
Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 clic !
Thank you Jason. According to the log, "os-prober" did not detect any OS. You can check if it is still the case by typing the following command, which should list your systems:
If you have time I would be happy if you could test next Boot-Repair's release which is nearly finished. (now v3 beta). I see you have a splendid multi-boot, so your feedback is very interesting :)
To install Boot-repair v3 beta:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair-dev && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/os-uninstaller-dev && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get remove -y boot-repair-ubuntu boot-repair clean-ubiquity-common boot-repair-common os-uninstaller os-uninstaller-ubuntu && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair os-uninstaller
(this also installs OS-Uninstaller v3 beta)
To come back to Boot-Repair v2 stable:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair-dev && sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:yannubuntu/os-uninstaller-dev && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/os-uninstaller && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get remove -y boot-repair-ubuntu boot-repair clean-ubiquity-common boot-repair-common os-uninstaller os-uninstaller-ubuntu && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair-ubuntu os-uninstaller-ubuntu
Remark : before any test, be sure you have :
- a backup of your data (as usual ;) )
- a live-CD or live-USB of Ubuntu Secured, so you can easily reinstall GRUB.

Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in 1 clic !
this time os-prober worked without problem.
> It missed UbuntuStudio64bit which I am running right now
This is normal, os-prober does not show the OS in use.
Separate /boot partition is not taken in charge in Boot-Repair v2, but you are lucky : I added this feature in the v3 beta :)
You can try the v3, but don't validate if no OS is proposed as "OS to boot by default".
Concerning your last log, i see no problem. You can check that you have the last versions of packages by looking at https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+a...-dev/+packages
