    Multi boot

    Today I shrinked my partition for data and installed some other distro on it. Now the problem is that distro installed bootloader and I can't access Kubuntu except the recovery. I'm almost sure I have to reinstall the kubuntu bootloader, but when I tried to install it on kubuntu partition there was some error, so now it is on /dev/sda. I can boot into that distro and windows normally. Please help.

    Currently does Kubuntu appear in the GRUB menu? But only the recovery entry, is that what you're saying?
    What's the other distro? It ought to have detected your Kubuntu installation and included it in its GRUB or whatever bootloader it installed.

    Can you book from a Kubuntu Live CD / Live USB? What you probably need to do is reinstall the Kubuntu-shipped version of GRUB as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr..._Broken_System
    - You do need to install GRUB to /dev/sda as well as to the Kubuntu partition.


    It may help if you post the output (from Live CD or the other distro) of
    Code:
    sudo parted -l
    sudo blkid
    I'd rather be locked out than locked in.
