Public bug reported:
I upgraded my Xubuntu Artful install to Bionic using the following
command:
do-release-upgrade -d
And the entire process went smoothly, when it was asked to reboot the
system I chose yes. After that, Xubuntu failed to boot with the
following message:
Error 0x1A (Security Violation)
Then I rebooted and pressed F12 to see the available boot options and
there were two equal entries from the disk where Xubuntu Artful was
installed.
Then I chose another install from another disk, and from that system I
repaired the bootloader using the following command:
LANGUAGE=C sudo grub-install --efi-directory=/media/usuario/EFI\ SYSTEM/
--boot-directory=/media/usuario/Linux64/boot/ --uefi-secure-boot
/dev/sdb
Its output was:
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.

Installation finished. No error reported.
And then the upgraded Xubuntu was able to boot again.
The HDD on which the system is installed has a MBR partition table, is
bootable in UEFI and there is no Windows on this disk. I believe this
combination was not well handled in the upgrade and ended leaving it in
a unbootable state.
