Bug ID: 383306
Summary: GRUB2 fails to install on UEFI systems
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: Live/Install images
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: syfe...@gmail.com
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Current(8.08.17) Neon installation ISOs(both the userlts and user editions)
fail to install GRUB on UEFI systems. This is due to the lack of a
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi folder containing the appropriate configuration.
I believe this is because someone tried to get rid on an earlier bug(can't find
a link now, sorry), thanks to which grub was misconfigured and installed
partially to /efi/ubuntu and partially to /efi/neon. Now it doesn't install at
all.
The installation from Calmares fails to install with a "failed to install to
/target/" message. I tracked this bug by trying to do a chroot install, as per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot which revealed a
message saying "grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh
doesn't exist". Closer examination revealed that the whole folder was missing.
