severity 1108745 important tags 1108745 + upstream thanks
Hello Daniel, Daniel Leidert dijo [Fri, Jul 04, 2025 at 04:25:25PM +0200]:
Recently, images ćreated for UEFI systems fail to boot. I can reproduce the problem with the base.vmdb2 file from tje vmb2 source. If I change that file to create an image for Bookworm and boot it with QEMU, I end up in the Grub shell. If I create an image for Ubuntu, I do not even get there. I can boot into a live system, mount all necessary devices and run 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64', and then it usually boots. vmdb2 shows no errors during its operation. Interestingly, the same appears to happen with vmdb2 in Bookworm. Given that vmdb2 also hasn't seen any recent uploads, a third-party might be the culprit here. Images built for BIOS are not affected.
I am sorry I could not reply (not even _look at_ this bug) until now that our dear friend Elbrus pulled my attention to it; I was preparing with the family for the trip to Europe, and am now dedicating most of my attention to DebConf. I do not have my regular systems with me, and cannot really check this with me. I will forward this bug report to the upstream developer; Lars, I hope you can take a look at this. Otherwise, I'll be able to devote some time to this once I'm back home, approx. a week from today. Daniel, given you say that "images built for BIOS are not affected", I hope you agree this bug does not break this package for all use cases, and will degrade its severity to "important". Thanks!
