calamares install (grub-install?) issue - jammy

[Chris Guiver]

Install of jammy (daily) on
- hp prodesk 600 g3 sff (i5-7500, 8gb, nvidia geforce gt710 (gk208b) + intel graphics 630)

re-use SDA2 for / & ESP, no /home is selected (I'll do that manually given issue last time)...

( SDA3 is currently / for noble, plus a /home partition also exists but these are NOT USED for this install )

this has failed, but why?? this install was repeated, and `ubuntu-bug calamares` executed before I rebooted on subsequent install; both installs failed identically....

** EXPECTED RESULT

- install completes; reboot and GRUB shows two installed systems, being new JAMMY INSTALL + prior NOBLE install

- system boots & allows me to login

** ACTUAL RESULT

- no 24.04 LTS system was detected by grub?? as grub shows only one (L) Ubuntu system offered
- system failed to boot

** NOTICED

There should be two options in grub (noble + this new jammy install) but only one shows??

Further the kernel attempting to be booted according to grub is 6.5??? yet manifest shows the kernel should be `linux-generic-hwe-22.04 6.2.0.39.40~22.04.16` thus the grub appears to be the noble grub...

boot ended at busybox, UUID wasn't found according to messages (when 'quiet splash' disable). Did the GRUB-INSTALL FAIL ???

I wonder if the issue is Secure-boot related ???

(trying to use grub-rescue & I'm getting secure boot reasons for failing to boot now)

[Chris Guiver (guiverc)]

I installed Ubuntu Desktop (jammy daily) yesterday successfully using the same parameters (sda2 for / & ESP only partitions used)

I did note proposed packages existed on the Ubuntu Desktop ISO, but unsure if this differs to my used Lubuntu ISO from the day before.

(THIS COMMENT MAYBE UNRELATED.. as it relates to a NOBLE install, and not jammy)
I've experienced this (OR SIMILAR) on a legacy/BIOS box too
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)

(sorry, I forget which release I was installing when I made this comment/link)

I'm not seeing an error in the log; what I am seeing is this:

2023-12-01 - 22:58:04 [6]: [PYTHON JOB]: "Bootloader: grub (efi)"
2023-12-01 - 22:58:04 [6]: .. Running ("grub-install", "--target=x86_64-efi", "--efi-directory=/boot/efi", "--bootloader-id=ubuntu", "--force")

Maybe grub-update is missing??

I don't know what to put the bug status for now - I trust your judgement.
