[ruud]

I see this bug again in Ubuntu 20.04. The error appear briefly just
before GRUB show the boot menu

uname -a ouptut:

Title:
  "error: can't find command hwmatch" during grub

Status in grub2-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upon disabling my grub menu using grub-customizer, I've noticed that
  just before the system boots and goes into the crypto password prompt
  the following error message appears on the display:

  ```
  error: can't find command hwmatch
  ```

  Looks like this command is referenced from /boot/grub/grub/cfg

  ```
      if hwmatch ${prefix}/gfxblacklist.txt 3; then
  ```
  However, the mod doesn't exist on grub's mod folder:

  ```
  ~ ls -la /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/*.mod|wc -l
  269

  ~ ls -la /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/hw*
  fish: No matches for wildcard “/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/hw*”

  ```
