Re: [libreoffice-users] Canon USA Printer Support are using LibreOffice? boot repair

Go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/

Download the appropriate 32 or 64 bit iso and create a CD, NOT A DVD.

Suggest ImgBurn if on Windows. http://www.imgburn.com/

If it does boot, use default repair.

If it does not, research online the hot-key for your computer that 
allows 'boot from CD" or "Select Boot Drive" option during boot.

If this does not work, it is very common for newer computers to boot to USB.

Make bootable USB stick with iso image.  See https://unetbootin.github.io/

There are many methods for this in the internet, research until you find 
the method you will be most comfortable with.

Once the boot has been repaired, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode

Select  "network" and then "dpkg".

If dpkg starts to work and fails, restart machine and repeat until it 
has nothing left to fix.

Hope this helps.
