[Seiichi Nakashima]

Dear everyone.

Now, I update ubuntu-18.04.1 at my desktop PC.
software updater updated, and display grub pc setting windows.
grub setting windows say to select install grub device,
/dev/sda
-/dev/sda1
/dev/sdb

my pc environment has mbr(mbm bootloader) and pbr(grub).
I asked #675171, and repare, but now new problem.

I select '-/dev/sda1' and next, and 'do not install grub' not checked,
then again select install grub device,
I select '-/dev/sda1' and next, and 'do not install grub' not checked,
repeat forever.

what actiion need to exit this probrem.

I challenged to select grub install device /dev/sda and do not install grub.
then sortware updater finished, and kernel updated.

I send screen shot to write before.
I may solved problem.

[Seiichi Nakashima (ubuntu-linuxer)]

I missed affects, perhaps grub-pc( or grub).

I have 4 desktop pc, and 1 is UEFI bios.
I use UEFI bios to legacy mode.
other 3 PCs not support UEFI.

UEFI bios PC do not occurd to display select install grub device,
and finished update. but #675171 problem occurd.
My disk(/dev/sda) have 4 partions for 4 ubuntu.
I update to use software updater ubuntu in /dev/sda4,
grub update /dev/sda1 pbr.
so I want to boot ubuntu in /dev/sda1,
but boot up ubuntu in /dev/sda4.
/dev/sda2, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4 are work fine,
only /dev/sda4 updated to affect /dev/sda1.

I repaired /dev/sda1 pbr to use grub-install command,
but I want to update this problem.

same situation occured.

I have 4 desktop PCs, one is UEFI(legacy mode), others are legacy BIOS.

UEFI PC update to use software updater at /dev/sda4,
grub update /dev/sda1 pbr, I want to update /dev/sda4 pbr.

but legacy BIOS PC update to use software updater at /dev/sda4.
it update /dev/sda4 pbr.

[Seiichi Nakashima (ubuntu-linuxer)]

Dear everyone.

I update PC that has UEFI(legacy mode), and software update.
First I update /dev/sda2 (ubuntu-18.04),
and I install Hyperledger Fabric-1.4 to use docker-ce.
finished install and I reboot PC, but could not bootup.
so I grub-install /dev/sda2.

Second I update /dev/sda3 (ubuntu-18.04).
software updater do not need reboot,
I checked /var/log/syslog, '40grub2: debug: perseing' errors exist in syslog.
ubuntu-18.04 in /dev/sda2 reboot, and still boot up fine.

I upload syslog in dropbox.
I update /dev/sda2 at 16:40, and from 16:44:46, 40grub2 error exist.
