I tried to install Grub2 on a USB-3.0 stick.
(https://www.lowlevel.eu/wiki/GRUB_Installation_auf_einem_USB-Stick)

Then started Grub-Customizer, changed environment to my mount points /media/usb/sdb5 and /media/usb/sdb1.

# lsblk

=> Grub-Customizer crashed.

=> From now on Grub-Customizer crashes always immediately after I launch it.
Any idea / help ?
