It prevents the package (or a dependent one) from functioning correctly at all. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282375 Title: trusty upgrade: grub-install fails with odd file error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1282375/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1282375] Re: trusty upgrade: grub-install fails with odd file error
I had the same problem because the /boot/efi partition was formatted in
HFS+ file system. But grub-install doesn't allow this, even if it
mounted as read-write.
Previously the /usr/sbin/grub-install file was a script and I have commented
this check. Now it's binary file so I can't do this.
Example of disabling efi partition check if /usr/sbin/grub-install file is
script:
if test -n $efidir; then
efi_fs=`$grub_probe --target=fs --device-map=${device_map} ${e$
# if test x$efi_fs = xfat; then :; else
# gettext_printf %s doesn't look like an EFI partition.\n ${ef$
# efidir=
# fi
fi
So I have come up with the next hack:
1. Backup all files from /boot/efi partition
2. Format /boot/efi partition to FAT file system and mount it to the /boot/efi
path
3. Copy all files backed up from the original /boot/efi partition to the new
one
4. Run `sudo grub-install` and `sudo dpkg --configure grub-efi-amd64`. Should
complete successfully.
5. Backup all files from the /boot/efi partition after successful grub
upgrade/install
6. Format /boot/efi partition to HFS+ file system and mount it to the /boot/efi
path
7. Copy all files backed up from the /boot/efi partition after grub
upgrade/install to the new one
8. Update /etc/fstab to mount the /boot/efi partition during boot
