Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu not booting up
I can now boot into Ubuntu Studio okay. The only thing I did was, when in Linux Mint, to update GRUB. Maybe it was trying to boot into an old kernel in Ubuntu Studio that was not there? I am not sure why it was not working. Or it could be something else was wrong. But it is booting okay. I even updated the kernel and rebooted and it is still okay.

When booted into Mint have a look at /var/log/syslog in the Studio partition and see if any rude messages there.

I also amended that script to stop it adding to the log, i.e just delete the log and write a new set of web-cam details each time it ran. So you could look for something similar.
