I installed from live USB 22.04 but it does not boot . I can boot only with super grub2 . I performed Boot repair but no use. I also performed repair with Rescatux 0.74 but no use. Only option is to boot with super gub2. I do not mind this but I would like better to boot normally. Any help? Thanks

Hi, @Zarko_Ljubic and welcome to the "Ubuntu MATE Community" :slight_smile:

(Usual disclaimer: please note that I'm just another Forum user here. I'm NOT an Ubuntu developer or an Ubuntu MATE developer)

You wrote:

Hmmm ... To try to help you, could you please answer the following questions:

1 - Is that a desktop computer or a laptop?

2 - What is the brand and model of that computer?

3 - When you say that the computer "does not boot", what is the specific behavior? Do you get for instance only a black screen with a blinking cursor or do you get some other behavior? Are there any error messages on screen during the failed boots? If there are error messages on screen, could you please take a photo of those error messages using, for instance, the camera of your smartphone and include it a new reply in this same discussion topic?

4 - Given that you mention that you were able to boot in Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS ("Jammy Jellyfish") using the "Super Grub2 Disk", could you please boot into "Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS" using "Super GRUB2" and then run the following commands in a "MATE Terminal" window and post the corresponding outputs in a new reply in this same discussion topic (assuming those outputs don't have any information that you want to keep private):

grep ^[^#] /etc/default/grub

lsblk --fs | grep --invert-match '/snap/'

Thanks for the outputs, @Zarko_Ljubic :slight_smile:

I've been searching the web and it seems that installing Ubuntu (and its flavors, like Ubuntu MATE) in ACER Aspire laptop computers is usually troublesome :frowning: I've found the following tutorial in the "It's FOSS" article web site, published on 24th Jan 2023, that solves a similar scenario for a (slightly?) different ACER Aspire model (an Acer Aspire R13, instead of your Acer Aspire E14). I suggest that you read the article and see if it applies to your case:

I hope this helps :slight_smile: Please, keep us posted.

Wow, this flew under the radar but might have affected a lot of people (and potentially still does).
I propose to make this a stickie :slight_smile:
