I can't read that mess. i'm not even going to try deciphering it.
Also, this should be sent to the mailing list, not to me personally. so I'm replying back to the list.

Hi Craig, I would give up on that mess as well. I apologise for replying to you, my tablet did not offer "reply to list". I have no idea how that mess above occurred. You recommended a tutorial on how to get GRUB working again, and I followed it as best I could. My problem is trying to make sense of the GRUB shell. My hard drives all have GUUID references, and not sda3 sdb1 and sdc1 references. Here are the 4 recommended lines: grub> set root=(hd0,1) grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-29-generic root=/dev/sda1 grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-29-generic grub> boot I have discovered that my / directory is on (hd0,3) and vmlinuz-4.15.0-74-generic is also in there but when I try to run the second line I fail to get the syntax right So this worked: grub> set root=(hd0,3) Next line : grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-74-generic root=/dev/sda3 did not work Third line : grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-74-generic - haven't got past line 2 grub> boot when successful I will run grub-update Just a thought, since my brain has recovered from yesterday, does all of this have to be run as root? The document suggested that permissions were not necessary because of the fact that Unix/Linux assumes that if you are in physical control of the machine then you are the owner. Many thanks Andrew
