A while ago when messing with usbmg and usbmount I rebooted and recieved a grub error 15. This is usually caused by doing something silly that you aren't supposed to but I didn't think installing something from Synaptic would cause the bootloader to mess up. After trying to install usbmgr and usbmount from synaptic and rebooting 2-3 days later (You never have to reboot in linux!) I recieved yet another Grub error 15. The conventional google methods for fixing this are not working.. for example
find /boot/grub/stage1 gives file not found. I've even tried randomly guessing root (hd0,0) root (hd0,1) and so on. I'm pretty sure one of these two packages is interfering with grub. I have an extra ubuntu installation (just my luck) already set up but I want my old one back. Reinstalling grub via synaptic doesn't solve my problem. I did notice that during the synaptic installation of one of these two packages it removed a bunch of the gnome packages including gnome-volume-manager. I'm guessing it removed something I needed to boot. I've tried reinstalling grub via synaptic and via source both have both leave me with Grub error 15 when booting back into my old partition.
