So I just had a very nerve-wracking experience that I was luckily able to fix...
So currently I have dual boot Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu (latest versions of both...) and I tend to feel really comfortable editing the boot file to customize things the way I want. Something that was really annoying me overall was that on the grub loader screen, instead of it saying Ubuntu Studio for the selection, it said "Ubuntu (low-latency)". So I went into the file and thought I changed it to Ubuntu Studio, looking for menu configuration. Then I rebooted, and just got a grub command line instead! I was freaking out...I currently don't have a M.2 reader external to my computer so i could recover files, and i have so many shell scripts and written libre documents i've made and i'd hate to lose them...
So, I went into the BIOS, and there was a second partition i could launch into, but i was pessimistic because it was exactly the same in writing as the other one. However, it booted into the standard Ubuntu partition, and i was very relieved: that had all the important stuff, and i already backed up the completed audio recordings and project files from Ubuntu Studio. Then, i went and opened up the grub.cfg file from Ubuntu Studio, and instead of it saying what i wanted, it said:
So I just removed the extra single quote, and voila, it worked the way it was supposed to! Who would have thought that a missplaced single quote would ruin your entire operating system, holy crap!
