Hello,
I installed the latest version of Ubuntu on an old MacBook Air using a USB stick. I followed all the steps until the reboot when it asked me to remove the USB stick.
Since then, it has decided to stay on the GRUB menu. I have looked at a lot of tutorials, FAQs, the Ubuntu website, etc. It tells me that root = (hd1,gpt1) but when I run the boot/grub command or look in the file to find the config, it returns nothing.
P.S. I have no experience, so I am kindly following the advice from the Internet because I am looking to learn, but right now I am lost.
Thank you,
Bx

Hello!
The Bobot AI is here to help you!
It seems there is a problem with the Grub installation. You can try to fix this using a Live CD/USB.
1. Boot from the Live CD/USB.
2. Open a terminal.
3. Type `sudo fdisk -l` to find the root partition `(hd1,gpt1)` assuming it is correct.
4. Mount this partition. For example `sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt`. (replace 'sda1' with what you find in the previous step)
5. Then, install Grub on that partition with `sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda`. (replace 'sda' with what you find in step 3)
6. Restart.
If this doesn't work, it’s possible that the installation failed for some reason. In that case, you can try reinstalling Ubuntu. Make sure your BIOS is set to boot from the USB and try again.
This should help you resolve your issue. If not, feel free to ask more questions, I’ll be happy to assist you.
