Public bug reported:
Today both of my ubuntu 20.10 installs had "grub" packages to upgrade,
Lubuntu & U-MATE . . . over the last year?? upgrading grub in ubuntu
has managed to wipe the grub listings of the other systems I have
installed, leaving only U-MATE to boot up. I've had to use SG2 disk to
boot into OpenSUSE to repair the damages done by the ubuntu grub process
. . . it keeps happening.
Today I ran the Lu apt dist-upgrade and it had a few grub packages to
upgrade . . . I ran them . . . I rebooted and, yep, grub list was again
wiped . . . and into U-MATE we went. I ran apt over here and it showed
the same grub packages . . . since the damage was already done I ran it.
This time it actually showed errors with "grub-install" . . . . I may
have other bug reports on this problem, but it seems like ubuntu's grub
doesn't get "EFI"??? Devs haven't gotten this issue addressed as of
this date?? I copied the data in the console:
