As outlined by Steve in comment #7, the fix for this is in the cloud image building tools to add: DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
A suitable validation of this is to run a instance pre-grub2 update, run this command, then upgrade. If it doesn't prompt, then we should have a suitable resolution. However, this resolution will not resolve currently deployed AMI's before this is resolved, only latest builds. ~smoser is assigned to land this fix in the build tools for newer AMI's. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009294 Title: Grub update breaks automated dist-upgrade scripts on AMI images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1009294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
