May I ask why this was marked invalid? Perhaps the focus on the ttyS0 missing spam distracts from the fact that there is no way to actually *use* the recover *desktop*? All I get is a TTY login prompt and, according to @ogra, that isn't even supposed to let me login.[1]
And I do have an actual need to recover from inadvertently running `update-grub` because of a careless `sudo apt reinstall memtest86+` after a cursory `debsums` sweep flagged it for missing files.[2] The need isn't all that pressing because it happened in a VM which I had set up for evaluation. But if such an error is truly unrecoverable, with the only recourse being to reinstall from scratch, it really puts a dent in my expectations. Usually grub.cfg error are trivial to fix, no matter the cause. While it's not the end of the world, reinstalling seems to be a heavy price to pay. Imagine what happens when people are traveling abroad. Laptop inoperable, no way to backup the most recent data, no easy way to get a live USB *and* they might have thought the same thing as me, initially: there's always the recovery desktop, right? Plus, one starts with a clean slate and has to do all the customization and software installations again. That really hurts when the aim is to install once and upgrade forever. :( [1] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/only-memtest-and-uefi-settings-in-grub-menu/84952/10?u=peterwhite23 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2157702/comments/7 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2157878 Title: The three Ubuntu 26.04 repair modes from Grub are unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-pc/+bug/2157878/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
