Public bug reported: On my MacBook, the grub upgrade of this morning failed silently: no error was reported by the graphical update manager. On reboot, it then skipped grub and booted directly to OSX. Reboot again holding `alt` key did not list Ubuntu.
My solution was to boot on a 15.04 usb key, to chroot on the disk and to run grub-mkdevicemap (running "update-grub" or "apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64" did not work). After that, rebootingon Ubuntu was possible. You will find below the apt logs of this morning upgrade, and then the apt log of the "apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64" try (sorry, all in french): Log started: 2015-10-24 11:51:56 (Reading database ... 274309 files and directories currently installed.)
