I've added 'postrm_hook = update-grub' to /etc/kernel-img.conf so hopefully this is fixed now. Thanks. This looks to relate to this open bug which is queued to be fixed in Alpha 6: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/419911 -- 9.10 update-grub fails to run https://bugs.laun

The code in grub-installer to do this hasn't changed in years, as far as I know. Maybe something went wrong in the initial installation before kernel-img.conf was modified, though - could you attach /var/log/installer/syslog so that I can check this possibility? -- 9.10 update-grub fails to run h

The problem is that 'postinst_hook = update-grub' should be set in your /etc/kernel-img.conf, and isn't on the new install. AFAIK, this should be done by the grub-installer package at install time, so reassigning the bug there. Though it's possible this bug is already fixed in alpha 5, and you sh

I just upgraded two servers from 9.04 -> 9.10 using 'do-release-upgrade -d' and I notice a difference. After the upgrade I installed the latest kernel (apt-get install linux- image-2.6.31-10-generic) and when this command runs there's a postinst hook that fires which runs update-grub. This is diff

It appears update-grub is never run. There's no error. If update-grub is run manually on the command line /boot/grub/grub.cfg is rebuilt without any errors. I'm running post Alpha 5. With post Alpha 5 this was broken until around kernel 2.6.31-8 and 2.6.31-9 then return with kernel 2.6.31-10 an

I'd like to test this to verify it. With the 9.10 install cd you can install grub 2 or leave legacy grub in place. Could you please let us know which version it is? I imagine it's possible a trigger in the package was not set which may need to be watched in the future. -- 9.10 update-grub fails t
