I bought a new laptop - Dell Inspiron 3521 which came preloaded with windows 8 and GPT partitioning. As usual, My first step after buying a new laptop is to install latest version of Ubuntu.
Hence followed this guide - http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system and disabled secure boot (UEFI is still enabled) and installed Ubuntu 13.04
Now restarted my system. Now I don't see grub. When I selected F10 to enter boot options, I see both Ubuntu and Windows boot manager options. I am able to enter Windows but when i select Ubtuntu, it takes me to grub command line but not GUI. I even tried repairing with boot manager but still it didn't help. boot repair continues till some steps and fails saying - "Please close all your package managers and continue" . I have verified that there are no package managers running. But still it says the same. Here is my boot repair summary - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5779528/
I tried other ways as well but was not able to boot into Ubuntu.
Please help. Thanks
Hi Rajesh,
Do you still have this issue?
(FYI, you probably don't need any separate /var nor /home.)
