Hello!
I'm dual-booting using two separate drives; one using Kubuntu 25.10 and another using Windows 10.
However, yesterday when I tried booting to my Kubuntu drive, my PC booted straight into Windows 10 and continues to do so.
Normally, it would boot into the GRUB menu where I can select between the two systems, but not this time.
This leads me to believe that GRUB has been destroyed, since unlocking the drive using a live USB shows an empty GRUB folder in root.
My Kubuntu install has two partitions: sda1 (ext4, kubuntu_boot), sda2 (luks2, root).
I've tried changing the boot order in my BIOS, as well as unplugging the Windows drive, but when I do this, my PC finds no bootable drive.
I believe I need to follow the guide linked here, but there's a few things I don't understand about it:
What is [VOLUME GROUP NAME] and [LOGICAL VOLUME NAME], and where can these be found in the terminal?
Thank you!
