Folks: A few weeks ago I had a "sid" system problem that seemed to spread damage across the two drives that I had linux distros installed on . . . so I had to nuke the drive that I had U-MATE &7 Lubuntu 19.04 installed on . . . and I've been working my way back to Lu babe . . . : -)
So after I ran the install of U 18.04 I looked around for a daily on Lu 19.04, and I saw that we are now up to 19.10 . . . so I went for that and transferred it to a flash drive. Booted the system and the GUI loaded fine . . . might have opened one app, then went for the install, using "custom" . . . and all seemed to go well, the installer proudly announced that it was "done" after a few minutes. I followed the instructions to "remove the install media and hit return" for reboot . . . and it rebooted and it did go to "grub" . . . but it first shows the ?? dmesg?? data for OSX 10.14 . . . which **usually** then drops into the Grub window . . . but this "froze." I shut the unit down and went for a bike ride. When I got back I again tried a few attempts to get into Lu 19.10 via grub, but, it failed, and then after one attempt it showed the words "kernel panic" . . . which I assume to mean that there was a . . . kernel panic??? I got back to U-MATE and ran "sudo update-grub" . . . and it showed the various options and it did find the "Lu 19.10 Eon Ermine"??? option, but then I couldn't arrow down through the list, only the top hit, last system standing is the U-MATE, and that does boot up and I'm typing this post in a MATE system . . . . So, point is, that something in the Lu 19.10 installer didn't seem to find the EFI boot partition?? Or, did something "wrong" . . . looking at GParted in MATE shows "5+GB" "used" in the partition I set for the "/" . . . but something is causing a "kernel panic" . . . which isn't letting me get to the Lu system . . . even though now Grub has "found" it . . . but, now Grub seems to be "frozen" via the latest installs of ubuntu based systems. I think I could get over to the "sid" system via its Grub list, but that is in another drive than the one where the ubuntu options are located . . . might be that the Lu 19.10 partition might have to be wiped and re-re-installed in a few days?? F I was able to get to a Grub window
