Finally! Took a while to find this solution. I had a corrupted VirtualBox Ubuntu VM, used a clone image and ran into this problem when running updates via the GUI. Running it in a terminal window solved my problem. Thank you Paul Brown.
The prompt suggested that I load it on both partitions unlike Zarniwoop. Can that lead to any problems? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351404 Title: Installing updates freezes while setting up grub-pc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1351404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
