[Bug 1009531] Re: configuring grub-pc install devices did not work

[DrJohn]

Grub menu, Ubuntu, and Win7 startups are normal.

I didn't note in the previous post that running dpkg-reconfigure
--frontend=gnome grub-pc did not change the output of debconf-show grub-
pc. So, this looks like a mis-directed attempt by the package upgrade
process to install Grub in the non-bootable Linux partition at
/dev/sda6.

Title:
  configuring grub-pc install devices did not work

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I updated grub-pc to version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 using Update
  Manager, it asked me to configure the "GRUB install devices". I
  selected one of the drives, and I clicked "Forward". It then asked
  "Continue without installing GRUB?"  I made that box was unchecked,
  and clicked "Forward". It took me back to the list of devices that
  grub could be installed on. I kept going in a loop like this until I
  gave up and checked the "Continue without installing GRUB?" box.

  After the update completed, I ran
   dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome grub-pc
  and it had no problem.

  I tried running
   dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=gnome grub-pc
  to see if I could recreate the problem, but it worked also.
