Help on “alloc magic is broken” - dual boot
A couple of months ago I installed Ubuntu along Windows using dual boot. Everything was working fine, I was able to boot on either OS, till yesterday, when I restarted the pc to boot into Windows, and there appeared an unusual black screen with a few points in the middle - I guess indicating that something was being loaded - that was taking so long to end that I powered off the pc. Next times I've tried to boot into Windows, the following error has been popping up:
"alloc magic is broken at 0x6fea7f20: 0
Aborted. Press any key to exit."
So I go back to the boot window and select Ubuntu, and it works normally. I've been searching for a solution in order to be able to boot in both OS, but despite there are many reports on this problem - and proposed solutions that only work in some specific cases - most of the times it's Ubuntu that users cannot access, and the code after "broken at .." changes every time they try. In my case, that code is always the same. My OS are Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. Please excuse me if any important info is missing, I'm pretty new to the world of Linux. I'll appreciate any word of advice.
Thanks a lot!
