Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

Just installed latest download versoin 10.4
VMware 6 with VMware tools installed.
Did update manager and it was working fine until it got to GRUB and then nothing.

I had to reboot, resume, and it failed again and asked me to report the bug.

Wish I could be more helpful.

Nothing out of the ordinary, just a fresh install followed by recent updates.

GRUB failed to complete installation.
