Mabe, it got corrupted when I tried to install Oracle VM and it installed python-2 and downgrade the grub to 2.x version. I didn't pay attention at that moment but having serious problems now. My mouse is not clicking outside the current window. Any solution to this? thanks

  • @karel that resolved the upgrade problem but the issue is still with mouse click – Jamshaid Oct 29 '20 at 05:22
  • it does not work outside the current window – Jamshaid Oct 29 '20 at 05:23
  • Try uninstalling Oracle VM and the Python 2 that was installed by the Oracle VM and maybe it will solve the issue with the mouse not clicking outside the current window. VirtualBox from the default Ubuntu repositories ( sudo apt install virtualbox ) does not have this problem. – karel Oct 29 '20 at 05:41
  • @karel after running the above-mentioned answer command and sudo apt-get update and upgrade, I got everything fully upgraded. I restarted the system and after that I can not start ubuntu. It has been removed from the list of OS. I have two OS installed in my laptop . Windows and Ubuntu on two different hard drives. Whenever the system starts now, it directly boots the windows and if I deselect the windows from BIOS, it says corrupt disk or OS. what should I do to get everything back without reinstalling it? – Jamshaid Oct 31 '20 at 08:32
  • Try the answers to this question: Can't boot into Ubuntu in Windows 10 / Ubuntu dual boot – karel Oct 31 '20 at 08:41
