My computer is an Intel NUC (bought this year) using UEFI successfully running Ubuntu 16.04. Ubuntu was installed Ok from a USB memory stick created by Startup Disk Creator from Ubuntu 16.04.4 iso image on my wife's Intel NUC Computer (bought a few months ago) running Ubuntu 16.04.
I installed Ubuntu 16.04.4 (running on my NUC computer booted up from the Ubuntu 16.04.4 installer memory stick) onto a USB SSD, and that USB SSD boots into Ubuntu Ok. However, my Intel NUC computer no longer boots into Ubuntu: it stops at a Grub prompt. A memory stick containing the (bootable) Boot Repair hangs on the splash screen. So I followed some Terminal instructions as follows:
Code:
sudo fdisk -l -> sda with 3 partitions (i.e. the computer's SSD): same as on my wife's computer:
Disk /dev/sda: 223.6 GiB, 240057409536 bytes, 468862128 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: BDE0A51E-85A0-45C5-BF15-EF060C53032A
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 1050623 1048576 512M EFI System

/dev/sda3 452251648 468860927 16609280 7.9G Linux swap
and sdb with 2 partitions (i.e. the Ubuntu Installer memory stick).
Code:
sudo blkid -> sda with 3 partitions: same as on my wife's computer:
