Hi to all,
A few months ago I installed ubuntu 19.10 on my computer and everything used to work fine.
However, during the last apt update, an update of grub was supposed to be installed and actually failed.
When I installed my system, I did a manual partition on sda (/ and /boot/efi) with no dual boot (linux only computer) and the computer used to boot like a charm :
however, during the grub update, I got the following message (that I can reproduce by invocing grub-install /dev/sda) :
I checked and there's indeed an /sys/firmware/efi/ dir :
and I don't understand what should be the file blk0-47c7b225-c42a-11d2-8e57-00a0c969723b which is looked for and how to fix this issue.
I tried to run the boot-repair software unsuccessfully and I have posted its log to pastebin : https://pastebin.com/dnhSw7zs
I didn't rebooted my machine since as, so it stills run but I guess it won't reboot next time, and I'd like to fix grub before rebooting...
Maybe one of you can help me with this ?
Many thanks in advance...
David
