There are some issues today for me that my desktop can't boot as I expected, I installed windows 8.1 and ubuntu 14.04, yet only ubuntu 14.04 was booted, while the windows cannot. As a consequence, I try to do some recoveries.
First thing is first, I find the solution to booting problems, by using boot-repair.
As some blog wrote, I try following shell commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update”
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && (sudo boot-repair &)”
However, the command doesn't work for me, cause there are some problem poped out:
1. failed to fetch....
2. unable to locate package.
I tried some solution in the networks, such as clear the /var/apt/lists/partial, delete the lists file. yet none of them worked.
I look up to the ubuntu community, and found there is another command needed to be wrote,
sudo sed 's/trusty/saucy/g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list
In my eyes, this command tells the system to add the yannubuntu-boot-repair source to be a trusty source, and will be used and downloaded as other trusty softwares.
So it worked in the end.
Now I can load both my ubuntu14.04 and windows 8.1 by using the boot-repair~
what a lovely day.
