Just to leave relevant information for ppl. reaching this page from google (like me ;) )
I had similar issue after running normal dist-upgrade on 20.04 which was working fine since months, which is an "old" upgraded system (originally started as Ubuntu 06 ;) ), dual-boot with Windows 10 which I had recently (b/o this year) moved to a NVMe SSD (which required me to switch to EFI boot). Now, I somehow followed guidelines how to do that, but most were not fully working for me and I had to re-install Windows 10, and I somehow managed to miss a vital part: The '/boot/efi' entry in fstab ! After adding this entry, doing 'sudo mount -a' and re-running dist- upgrade everything worked fine. The fstab entry should look like: UUID=5A8E-000B /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1 Replace the UUID by what's returned by blkid command on EFI partition. Hope this info saves someone ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571925 Title: grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
