Public bug reported: I was doing an upgrade and it brought up a setup window that mentioned something about grub.
I didn't realize that the upgrade was still happening and Quit the window using the launchpad aux menu quit menu item. It complained it failed and then again on reboot. I tried to reinstall the grub-efi- amd64 and grub-efi-amd64-signed, but it did not bring back up the grub window. I am thinking I missed somnething critical to the setup but cannot get the install to re-trigger that grub setup window. Is there anyway to either re-trigger the setup / window to appear or rollback and re-upgrade? Thanks in advance. Oh one thing is I am new to this so you probably need something I should have obviously sent you. Tell me what you need. I have pasted below from the log file. My system is ubuntu 14.04LTS running on Dell inspiron 3458 ====PASTE FROM HISTORY.LOG FILE==== Setting up update-manager (1:0.196.24) ... Setting up update-notifier (0.154.1ubuntu3) ...
