my friend has an error upon booting up ubuntu it is a /grub/i386-pc/normal.mod error he has an amd video card i know that for sure. I believe he has a 500 gb HD. How do we correct this error

Can he boot up via the CLI. If so, run the following commands

Code: Select all


sudo /etc/init.d/networking start

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo update-grub


A little help would be useful though, as I don't know the issue but the above may help.
When booting up hit the escape key and check for error details...
Also check the /var/logs file for more information regarding certain erros.

If that doesn't help, come back with some more details, and I will try and help you.

Hope this helps,

Ubuntu's docs and forums are a much better place to ask these questions.
