description |
I noticed this when installing ppc64el, as boot would fail. It would fail because no /boot/grub/grub.cfg existed.
I'm not entirely sure when we need to run update-grub.
I know that the 'install_grub' was choosing to *not* run update-grub because sometimes dpkg-reconfigure would do the same thing, and that was a slow operation.
Its possible there are more complex symantics involved than I understood. But we were not running 'update-grub' in order to save some time.
Basically, as input to 'install_grub', we have:
* the target to install to (/dev/sda1 or /dev/sda)
* the dpkg arch
* the name of the package to 'dpkg-reconfigure' (derived from the dpkg arch and whether or not to use uefi).
we dpkg-reconfigure because we may change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to include additional options such as console=
From my memory, it seemed like on amd64 and i386, running 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' would end up running update-grub. I then chose not to run update-grub because it was slow.
Colin, Is there some simple logic that I can use to determine when running update-grub is needed? |

SRU curtin
==========
[Impact]
This bug will make it so boot fails when installing ppc64el. It would fail because no /boot/grub/grub.cfg existed.
This backport is needed so that we can install for ppc64el and any other architectures that were failing because update-grub was not being executed when doing grub-install.
This upload fixes the bug by making sure that update-grub is executed when doing grub-install
[Test Case]
To reproduce this bug you would need to follow what was being done as outlined in the original bug report description. Namely, you would need to do a curtin install for ppc64el.
[Regression Potential]
update-grub can be run multiple times so even in the event that update-grub is executed a second time by some other package, like the original bug reporter mentions in the original bug report description, it is unlikely to cause any regressions. |
