Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Boot Repair is an open-source tool that helps the users to easily repair or reinstall the Grub bootloader, remove kernel modules that do not allow the system to boot, etc.
The latest version available is Boot Repair 3.199, which has been released earlier this year, Ubuntu Saucy being the latest supported system.
So, if we want to install Boot Repair 3.199 on Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana, Pinguy OS 14.04, Elementary OS 0.3 Freya, Deepin 2014, Peppermint Five, LXLE 14.04, Linux Lite 2.0 and other Ubuntu derivative systems, we have to use the PPA for Ubuntu Saucy and add it as a regular repository, add the key to your system, update the local repository index and instal the boot-repair package. Like this:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair/ubuntu saucy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair/ubuntu saucy main " >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 60D8DA0B
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install boot-repair
To start the software, open a terminal, type sudo boot-repair and hit Enter.
Optional, to remove boot-repair, do:
$ sudo apt-get remove boot-repair
