    Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in one click

    Hello,

    I started Boot Repair Tool from the Boot Repair Disk yesterday and it has not finished yet. It is stuck at:

    Purge the kernels then reinstall the last kernel mapper/rootvg-rootlv (ins).

    Before providing any further details I would like to ask you if there is a log or anything where I can check what it is actually up to.

    I have a very slow and unreliable internet connection and therefore I suspect that some download may had failed or is taking too long.

    The situation is this:

    1.- Lubuntu 14.04 64-bit installed with UEFI disactivated in the BIOS.
    2.- I installed Windows 10 in a different partition which forced me to activate UEFI.
    3.- I was able to boot into Ubuntu after activating UEFI but not after installing Windows 10.
    4.- I donwloaded the 64-bit version of the Boot Repair Disk and booted it from a USB pendrive via UEFI in order to fix the issue.
    5.- I chose the recommended repair which started 16 hours ago.

    I have three hard drives in this laptop:

    1.- Two SSD that are configured with LVM2 to be shared by the volume group rootvg which contains the logical volumes rootlv and homelv.
    2.- One HDD that contains the folowing partitions: boot primary partition, EFI partition, LVM2 partition that contains the volume group backupvg with three logical volumes (swaplv, reservoirlv and backuplv) and, finally, the Windows 10 NTFS partition.

    I am afraid that, if I interrrupt Boot Repair Tool, I would leave my system in an unusable state. If this tools fails, is there a way I can solve this issue manually or should I go for a clean Ubuntu install?

    Yet another altertanive may be editing the Windows boot menu...

    Regards,

    Miro

    This is the trace of the Boot Repair script and it seems it is waiting for something:

    Re: [Boot-Repair] Graphical tool to repair the PC boot in one click

    To run many of Boot-Repair's fixes requires Internet. It downloads fresh packages and totally uninstalls/reinstalls grub & adds latest kernel.
    Boot-Repair can work with LVM, but often has issues.
    It sounds like your original install was BIOS with MBR partitions and then the LVM is inside the MBR partitions.
    But if you installed Windows in UEFI mode, that drive was converted to gpt partitioning as Windows only boots from gpt with UEFI or only boots with BIOS from MBR.

    Best to have all drives as gpt and use UEFI.
    Or have Windows drive as MBR(msdos) and boot Windows with BIOS.
    With Ubuntu you can have gpt and boot with UEFI or BIOS, if you have bios_grub partition for BIOS boot or ESP - efi system partition for UEFI boot.
    I have seen where a BIOS install gets converted to UEFI using the ESP on another drive. I thought that was not possible. Or that you had to have gpt for UEFI. But it does seem to work if ESP is on gpt drive. Better not to mix like that but it may work.
    Also you cannot dual boot from grub unless all installs are in same boot mode.
    You can boot mix boot systems with UEFI boot menu, but may even have to turn on/off UEFI/BIOS settings to make it work.
