started with xenial install. grub2 is at 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.28 put apparmor profile in place, and upgrading non-interactively
upgrade to 2.02-2ubuntu8.19 fails as expected with grub-install saying that error cannot open /dev/vda permission denied. grub-pc package remains in iF state. in /boot/grub everything is unchanged, but fonts/unicode.pf2 which should be relatively harmless. reboot works with still old 3.28 in the grub-menu title installing with invalid device (sda, whereas vda is in use) failed new devices got offered to install grub onto calling dpkg-reconfigure also installed grub onto the selected device git status in /boot/grub confirms that all modules got updated, since new bootloader was installed onto the block device successfully. reboot worked with the 2.02 (newstyle) menu header. all is good. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891680 Title: grub-pc needs to detect when debconf points to invalid drive and stop in preinst, before unpacking files, and also treat this as a failure in postinst To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1891680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
