i had this issue yesterday too, the only workaround was to uninstall grub2 and install grub(1) then i was able to restart properly.
the exact steps i took was first use Synaptic to uninstall grub (complete removal) then i used terminal code sudo apt-get install grub sudo grub-update (not sure if necessary but ran it anyways) then i used the Boot repair tool sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install boot-repair-ubuntu then access it thru System > Administration > Boot repair follow directions and it was successful and i was able to restart with no issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495123 Title: grub-probe: error: not a directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/495123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
