So, I'm getting tired of always unchecking Grub from automatic updates just to be sure that my system won't break again at the next reboot, and I would also like to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10, which I have been delaying so far for the same reason (and then, 15.04 must be almost out). As a remainder: I was one of the people whose working dual boot system was screwed up when upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 (because of a "misconfigured system" according to Phillip Susi, which I doubt, but if it is the case, it was misconfigured because of some bug in the first place)
So, is this what I need to do in order to prevent my computer from being bricked again by an upgrade?
> dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
Will this ensure that updating grub and upgrading to 14.10 won't screw things up again?
And then I guess that will ask me for some parameters, or to choose something. If so, what command should I run to figure out what my current perfectly working configuration of grub is and make sure it is preserved, and/or to figure out the correct answer to whatever dpkg-reconfigure prompts may show up?
