    Kubuntu update left me with boot error

    A Kubuntu update left me with nothing but a blank screen with a blinking prompt.

    I have an older Toshiba C850-120 system with 4 GB of RAM and a 480 GB SSD.

    Trying to repair boot, I'm presented with an error message:
    "GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag). This can be performed via tools such as Gparted. Then try again."

    The partition worked well before doing the update.

    Boot repair gives me the following BootInfo summary:

    http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7ygVbn6cm3/

    I don't know where to start in order to recover my system.

    Found a solution after all. It took me a lot of searching around for a fix that has only three lines:

    sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntu
    sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu
    sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda

    So this thread can be considered SOLVED.
