    Hi folks,
    i have installed Freya 3.1 erasing a previous Ubuntu 15.04 installation in dual boot with Windows 10.
    When the PC reboot, after Freya successful installation, appear GRUB in command line version.
    I have tried to repair GRUB with the BOOT REPAIR application from LIVE CD but nothing change. This is the application report http://paste2.org/2DGpVWY0
    Can you help me ?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I am having a GRUB issue also. I get a message that says GRUB can not be installed to /local/ . I then get asked to pick a new location for GRUB. I pick one but my laptop still won't boot when I reboot the system. I am using the laptop specs below

    ACER ASPIRE 5517

    AMD processor 64-bit

    4GB ram

    60GB HD

    Hi,

    After some searching i figured out that I had Legacy GRUB installed on my system. The Freya installer would not install GRUB2 over it for some reason. I had to delete Legacy GRUB from my MBR by typing this command into a terminal with sudo ' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=446 count=1 ' After I did this the Freya installer was able to install GRUB2 onto my hard drive.
