I have a HD with 2 partitions. Ubuntu 13.04 on one, primary boot is through
ubuntu grub and Fedora 19 on partition 2 which I use all the time.
Ubuntu13.04 ran into a problem yesterday during software update, it lost the
internet connection and errors out with a dialog to say internet connection
is lost.
I tried it again this morning with same result after checking the internet
and ensuring connection with fedora and ubuntu on eth0.
I do not understand why ubuntu loses internet during update when it can
download files and emails ok.
Ubutnu 13.04 has problem for me, I have run all the cleanups and tests and
run only the minimum of apps and there are no errors reported, but it takes
30 seconds to start a terminal and another 50 seconds before the prompt
appears.
Because Fedora 19 is booted from the ubuntu grub partition I am reluctant to
reinstall a fresh ubuntu because if it trashes Fedora I have major hassles re
installing Rails and Drupal which are day projects on both linuxes.
Is there any way I can change the boot to Fedora?

I had something like this happen to me a few years ago, though obviously it was not with current distros. As I remember, I booted from a Fedora live CD and one of the options was to re-do the MBR. I did, and it worked fine.
See:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Installation_Guide/ap-rescuemode.html
and
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/31318/recovering-fedora-19-boot-reinstalling-grub/
Look at section 19.1.2.1 - Reinstalling the boot loader.
Frankly, if it wuz me, I'd just choose one or the other and run everything else as a virtual machine (I use virtualbox).
