Bug Description
I installed 2 times xubuntu trusty in a machine with UEFI disabled, windows 7 dual boot in a MBR disk, and in the 2 times it does not install grub correctly. In the firt time, it goes direct to windows 7 boot. In the second time, i got an error, like this:
error: file '/boot/
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
I used Boot Repair, and i had to run some commands in terminal:
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
grub-common* grub-efi-amd64* grub-efi-amd64-bin* grub-efi-
grub2-common* linux-signed-
linux-
sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-
[...]
The following extra packages will be installed:
grub-common grub-gfxpayload
The complete stuff in terminal was attached bellow. See http://
And now it is bootable.
So... why there was installed grub-efi and linux-signed, if this machine has EFI disabled? I don't sure if it is related to the problem. But i can reproduce this problem.
