My situation has just gone from bad to worse. First I had an issue that suddenly started with a black screen with just a cursor. I spent a couple of days trying to fix it. Now I've decided to reinstall (I do have my files backed up).
So, I begin the reinstall, and it failed with a 'executing grub-install failed this is a fatal error".
OK. So then I tried again, and now I'm getting a ubi-partman failed with exit code 10. Basically I can quit - which leaves me with a brick. Or I can continue... which will likely leave me with a brick.
I have 2 500GB SSD's. One has 1 partition, and I use it for media files. It is not my boot drive. However, for this discussion, it is important to note that device is '/dev/nvme0n1', an ext4 v1 linux file system.
The other drive is where I had Ubuntu 20.04.03 previously installed. It is '/dev/nvme1n1' with 3 partitions. The first partition, '/dev/nvme1n1p1' is 768MB, is and EFI system FAT (32). It is where the old boot was.
The 2nd partition is and empty 539MB of free space (why I don't know). It is called '/dev/nvme1n1'.
The 3rd partition is where all the linux files were, is is 511GB, and is '/dev/nvme1n1p4'. It is saying it is a linux ext4 v1.
When the first grub failure occurred, it said it could not install on '/dev/nvme01n1'. So it gives me a choice to go to others, all of which show the same failure.
What do I do now?
