Public bug reported:
I was running Ubuntu 18.04 which was working fine. I attempted to update
to 20.4. The update failed miserably (many panic messages)and the
automatic recovery to 18.04 failed also. I then ran Ubuntu 16.04 from
disk, which worked, but would not install. I ran "boot-repair" which
also failed (exited). I created a new disk image of 18.04 which seemed
to install and I am using it to send this message, but grub-installer
would not load on any of the Ubuntu partitions on my hardware. I will
need to manually install a boot loader and I have no idea how to do
that. Please help, else this machine will become a Windows 7 machine and
I do not have any use for that OS.
