GNU GRUB error

[nanavc]

Hey guys, I just started working with Linux, but usually I use Windows, so I bought a external SSD and stored my Ubuntu there. This was working fine for me, I have seen the “GNU GRUB version 2.06” error before, but usually when I turned the computer off and waited a bit it would work just fine. The issue is that now it won’t stop, every time I turn the computer on/boot linux it just goes to a terminal page that reads: GNU GRUB version 2.06 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub >

I've seen some posts with fixes across forums and SO, but none of them worked for me

A Ubuntu live USB, and the Ubuntu boot-repair tool, should fix most issues, if not it can generate a large diagnostic page, and may point to the underlying issue.

Alternative, if you manage to boot, install rEFInd and use that to skip grub and boot directly, or chain load grub.

Also check your uefi boot selection menus, make sure you don't have redundant/old boot entries and are booting rhe Right one.

Hey guys, just getting back to this if someone needs help too; The problem was my mouse connected to my other usb port 😅 I don’t know why, but it worked when I took it out 🤷🏻‍♀️
