[Bug 1803805] Re: grub-pc fails to install on the last of multiple devices
Thank you for reporting this, Richard! I ran into this exact same error while upgrading to grub-pc (2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu2.1) on Ubuntu 19.04. After given choices of "/dev/sda", "/dev/sda5" and "/dev/sdb", I selected /dev/sda and /dev/sda5 on the "GRUB Install devices" page, leaving "/dev/sdb" unchecked. Then this error appears: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /,. Check your device.map and, running "ps auxwww | grep grub" shows this: grub-install --target=i386-pc --force --no-floppy /, just as what you have observed! Thank you for providing the fix too! I'll try to make merge request of your patch at https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub Cheers, Anthony -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803805 Title: grub-pc fails to install on the last of multiple devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1803805/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1803805] Re: grub-pc fails to install on the last of multiple devices
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. My issue is about installing GRUB, not about running update-grub or booting particular entries, so it sounds like your issue is something else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803805 Title: grub-pc fails to install on the last of multiple devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1803805/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1803805] Re: grub-pc fails to install on the last of multiple devices
Richard, as you didn't use 'apport' or 'ubuntu-bug' when creating this bug report I'm unsure if what you are reporting applies to me or not as your report doesn't include any version information. I have Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 19.04 installed on this laptop which has two disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Using Ubuntu 18.04 I can install grub, update grub and boot to either installation without any problem. >From Ubuntu 18.10 (now upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04) any attempt to update grub seemed to fail as I could only boot to the existing kernel and not to the newly installed kernel. I have seen this on more than one occasion. If this is an example of what you are reporting and something that has been an issue since the 18.04 release then I can confirm the bug report.
