Oh, maybe this will help. While I was writing up that bug report, I had the update-grub process running, and os-prober, as usual, was in its hung state. So, after finishing the bug report, I decided to stop that process by going to the relevant terminal window and hitting Ctrl+C a bunch of times. Here was the output, and it’s something I haven’t seen before:
^Cgrep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/raided-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/swaps-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/mounted-map: No such file or directory ^Cgrep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/raided-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/swaps-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/mounted-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/raided-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/swaps-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/mounted-map: No such file or directory ^Cgrep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/raided-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/swaps-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/mounted-map: No such file or directory ^Cgrep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/raided-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/swaps-map: No such file or directory grep: /tmp/os-prober.UwJlPA/mounted-map: No such file or directory ^C Hmmm, something weird is going on. This didn’t happen other times I’ve used Ctrl+C or “sudo killall dpkg” or whatever when os-prober has hung. Could be relevant, I don’t know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2153501 Title: os-prober hangs on update-grub or kernel update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/2153501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
