Dear Phillip Susi

After an automatic update i restarted my laptop, which is now unable to 
boot:
Error message:

error: file '/boot/grub/i386/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found
grubrescue>

********************************

I tried to run the boot repair disk, but without success.
boot repair detects EFI, and asks me to change to EFI boot, but 
unfortunately I can't boot from a CD when starting in EFI mode.
I therefore have to switch to "legacy mode", which seems to be an additional 
DELL option, which allows me to start from CD/DVD.

Although EFI mode is still enabled in the BIOS settings, the laptop starts 
in 'legacy mode'.
same Error as described above after boot repair.

When disabling 'legacy mode', the laptop tries to boot from remote (IPV6), 
which is one of the boot options available in UEFI - I guess it does so, 
since it can't find a default boot mode on harddisk.

**********************************

boot repair disk copies a log file to:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5738801

**********************************

These are the contents of /usr/lib/grub directory:

mylubuntu at lubuntu:/usr/lib/grub$ pwd
/usr/lib/grub
lubuntu at lubuntu:/usr/lib/grub$ ls
grub-mkconfig_lib  i386-pc

**********************************

Would be great if you could give me any advice how to restore the system 
(bootloader).
thank you for your advice,
gerald

Title:
  package grub-efi-amd64 2.00-13ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade:
  Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert
  1 zurück

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  dual boot windows 8 + ubuntu 13.04:
  windows 8 preinstalled on dell inspiron 15r se 7520
  install ubuntu
  run bootrepair disk
  -> rund fine, but fan turns on / off, without intermediate speed settings 
  therefore tried to install new AMD/ATI Catalyst AMD Radeon 7xxM Graphiccard driver ->
  xwindows crashes -> reinstall ubuntu
  windows 8 was gone (i guess my fault..) ->
  recovery of W8
  install ubuntu
  bootrepair disk -> 
  ubuntu, W8 dual boot working fine, fan issue not solved yet.
  ************************
  one think that is very strange with this laptop:
  cant boot from DVD until I switched to "legacy boot mode" which forces me to turn secure EFI mode off.
  (Still using EFI mode)
  Internet says I'm not the only one with this issue..
