My root partition is on /dev/sdb. So changing the above command into sudo grub-install /dev/sdb sudo update-grub sudo reboot did the trick. By the way, fresh install of Xubuntu 17.04 on reformatted partition. This bug stems from upgrading Xubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 and it apparently survived the formatting process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633839 Title: No symbol table.
