OK, so despite this having been confirmed at 1.99-20, I've just installed 1.99-21 and had the same problem.
Gives me absolutely NO clue as to whether I now have a system that's ever going to work again... I've ticked all four of my hard drives, because I don't remember at this point which one Grub should be on. It doesn't tell me which one it doesn't like, and what's worse, all I see apart from the message and a tick box is a "forward" button, with no indication as to what's going to happen when I hit the button, whether the box is ticked or not. How has this been allowed to happen again with the same package without any sign of the original, potentially catastrophic bug, having been fixed? Surely after eight months this should have been fixed - or at the very least the bug annotated with what people are supposed to do when they hit it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972290 Title: grub-pc update fails with "writing GRUB to boot device failed" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/972290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
