[Bug 1872100] Re: "The GRUB bootloader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present..."

[Eduardo Aguilar Pelaez]

Hi Julian,

The software update window showed me a link terminal interface to select a
partition and this time it worked. This happened yesterday.

Do you need me to describe that in the bug or do you have enough?

Best,

Eduardo

Bug description:
  I'm on the 20.04 early testing group. 
  I've been using 20.04 for about a month.
  Today when doing a normal software update 
  1 - the update-manager got stuck in an error message (see attached) and then 
  2 - prompted me saying that "The GRUB bootloader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present..." (see attached)
  3 - and when I selected that path because it's the only EFI partition I have and press 'Next'
  4 - then a new dialog appears asking if I want to proceed without installing GRUB. 
  5 - when I untick that box and try to proceed trying to install GRUB it then takes me back to step (2) so I'm currently stuck in a loop.
