Just ran into the same bug... This is a nasty one because it affects ubuntu-standard.
My guess is that postinst hangs due to the grub-probe error. I'll try to look into it when I get a chance. Quick workaround: Append the following to /etc/default/grub: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true Run sudo update-grub2. This will disable os-prober so grub doesn't see the other disks (this way it won't fail with an error). Run sudo dpkg --configure -a to complete the configuration (should be successful this time). The side-effect of this workaround is that you will loose all other boot entries in GRUB, so if you have a Windows dual boot or other distro's, you should remove or comment the line in /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update-grub2 once more to fully populate the GRUB menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986833 Title: Setting up memtest86+ (4.20-1.1ubuntu1) hangs indefinitely while generating grub.cfg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/986833/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
