Found it under quick reply, but that little problem solved. ThanksUnder "Reply with Quote"
Now, how to paste a shot of Gparted without getting the "Security Token missing" message that prevents me from posting ... ?You might post an image of GParted output showing the drive.
Is there another way to link a screenshot?
Ok, getting the hang here. Found a place to upload a file vice pasting. Fine.You might post an image of GParted output showing the drive.
Now you should see the sda6 partition I was referring to earlier.
More thoughts?
The only thing I haven't done is to tryper Yaneks request, that requires a reboot.it boots to dev/sda6
You have two installs of Ubuntu 24.04. Your update-grub output was done with Ubuntu 24.04 on sda6 and it also found Ubuntu 24.04 on sda5. You should be getting a Grub boot menu. If you are able consistently to boot into Ubuntu 24.04 (Linux image: /dev/boot/vmlinuz-6.8.0-48-generic) then do so. It should be at the top of the Grub boot menu listed simply as Ubuntu.
I am guessing that your problems are caused by booting into Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (24.04) on /dev/sda5. If your files are not on Ubuntu 24.04 on sda6 then they may be on Ubuntu 24.04 on sda5.
You should be able to access the operating system on sda5 from the operating system on sda6.

It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.
Ubuntu user #33,200. Linux user #530,530
returns "it cannot be found"it boots to dev/sda6
Tried with SUDO and similar result... sudo and it not found
Like the command is not correct
Great, that's the kind of answer I was hoping for! Now to clarify, I am not able to boot in 20.04, it always ends up in 24.04.You have two installs of Ubuntu 24.04. Your update-grub output was done with Ubuntu 24.04 on sda6 and it also found Ubuntu 24.04 on sda5. You should be getting a Grub boot menu.

Can you elaborate on "Grub boot menu"?
So now I do have an option to boot into "Ubuntu" vice the "Ubuntu 24" that I created to attempt a fix. I also see an option to boot into Windows (which I don't want anymore). Use F2 to enter setup and modify the boot order? Is that on the right track? Please advise with as much obvious detail you can manage, I think you're on it!!I am guessing that your problems are caused by booting into Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (24.04) on /dev/sda5.
