2.5 years later, and this bug appears to be unfixed. I'm doing 10.04 LTS upgrade testing to 12.04. I installed 10.04 and then tell it to install updates (before upgrading to 12.04). During the update, I end up stuck at "Configuring grub-pc" window in update- manager. It will not let me continue unless I select "continue without installing GRUB?"
This is really bad for less technical users. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426239 Title: grub-pc hangs while package is configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/426239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
