Few look at a mega-thread like this.
I thought I saw a similar complaint in another thread in the last week. So it may be a bug in Ubuntu?

Ok i have Confirmed a bug (in my opinion) in Boot-Repair-Disk 64 bit 2013 Edition. I re-downloaded & put on usb to test.
There is no lxterminal installed on the Livecd. XTerm UXTerm are the terminals Installed. Cannot copy & paste to them, Makes boot changes harder. Has anyone else noticed this ??
The Answer Please if at all Possible
Let us wait for YannBuntu to answer about Boot-Repair-Disk 64 bit 2013 Edition. (I have only used previous versions.)
But you can copy and paste the linux way with xterm. Mark the text pressing the left button of the mouse (or touchpad) and move the mouse (or finger), and paste with a middle-click in the same or another window. The marked content will be pasted at the cursor position. If there is no middle button, click the left and right buttons at the same time to paste.
Got a Response from The Boot-Repair Team On Boot-Repair-Disk. Said Thank You for the Suggestion. Will try to add lxterminal in next ISOs. So hopefully will be in next Update.
The Answer Please if at all Possible
So I have finally installed Ubuntu after a few weeks of trying; but when I went to re-boot my computer after the install, the GRUB menu did not appear. I went back into Ubuntu using my liveUSB and ran boot-repair with the following results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6344071/
My computer still boots straight to Windows even after the repair.
Any ideas why?

This says ubuntu is first. From UEFI menu do you see these boot options an clicking on Ubuntu work?

I had some problems upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10.
After removing x11-*-video-nouveu (I forgot the exact name), the upgrade seemed to be running corrently.
I returned later and had lot s of errors on t he screen, the upgrade window seemed to have crashed and I think I'm halfway between a 13.04 and 13.10 system right now.
I was just about to give up and do a fresh install (I hvae UEFI boot and LVW based system with /root on an SSD partition), and got an error message I hadn't seen yet:
/grub/x86_64-efi/notmal.mod not found
Searching, I had some hope that I could use boot-repair to fix it.
But that process failed and the Boot repair site suggests sending my URL here before giving up:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/6392280
Any advice?
My machine won't do much of anything right now.
I can boot into recovery mode and to a root prompt, but any other selection from that menu causes a few messages related to mounting my partitions and then hangs, as does a dhcp init from the root option (trying to get network connectivity).
A few other messages I've seen are
AE_NOT_FOUND ...
and
fseek /var [772] terminated w/ status 1
recovering journal
The fseek went away after I did them from the root prompt.
Thanks!
I do not know about LVM.
Normally if you wanted to fix major errors you would chroot into a system and then run many fixes which often works. But I do not even know how to chroot into a LVM install.
Chroot is booting with a working system and CHanging ROOT, so you can update or install.
I thought Boot-Repair had a way to chroot and offer suggestions but do not know if with LVM.
I do not think any of the standard chroot have examples with LVM.
To chroot, you need the same 32bit or 64 bit kernel. Best to use same version.

I spent a few hours yesterday and today and wasn't looking to more of the same, so I reinstalled 13.10 from scratch. Thanks!
Hello, my Toshiba Satellite fall just during a software installation and after thar I couldn't enter my Ubuntu-Saucy partition. By googling I tried fsck -fy /dev/sdb3 and it got worse (couldn't even get to grub!). I tried Boot-Repair without success (now it enter the win partition but doesn't start). The Boot-Repair Summary is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/6398110/. Do you have any idea what can I do?
