[Bug 1955109] Re: boot menu not appearing after manual install of jellyfish daily build

[Bob H]

As OS PROBER is disabled for security reasons I think this bug should be
labelled 'security issue'

** Description changed:

  desktop amd64 PC, UEFI, 8 core processor, 16gb RAM, nVidia graphics
  card, several ssd's
  
  manual install of Kubuntu Jellyfish to a partition on ssd alongside
  Kubuntu Focal LTS
  
  I am testing an installation of Kubuntu Jellyfish daily build alongside Kubuntu Focal 20.04.3
  Usually this proceeds without a problem.
  
  Since the 16th Dec daily build of Jammy, the boot menu does not appear
  any more after installation, also booting ignores Kubuntu Focal and
  proceeds directly to Kubuntu 22.04.
  
  I recovered the boot menu on this PC by running boot-restore from an iso
  of Kubuntu Focal both Focal and Jelly fish are then available from the
  restored boot menu.
  
  This bug appears in Kubuntu Jammy after a manual install directly to the
  computer's ssd.
  
  I'm not an expert at bug reporting, so if this report is incorrectly set out or if more info is needed I'm happy to follow instructions.
  I'll keep an eye on this thread.
  I think the problem is with the Jammy iso, not Focal.

  manual install of Kubuntu Jellyfish to a partition on ssd alongside
  Kubuntu Focal LTS

  I am testing an installation of Kubuntu Jellyfish daily build alongside Kubuntu Focal 20.04.3
  Usually this proceeds without a problem.

  Since the 16th Dec daily build of Jammy, the boot menu does not appear
  any more after installation, also booting ignores Kubuntu Focal and
  proceeds directly to Kubuntu 22.04.

  I recovered the boot menu on this PC by running boot-restore from an
  iso of Kubuntu Focal both Focal and Jelly fish are then available from
  the restored boot menu.

  This bug appears in Kubuntu Jammy after a manual install directly to
  the computer's ssd.

  I'm not an expert at bug reporting, so if this report is incorrectly set out or if more info is needed I'm happy to follow instructions.
  I'll keep an eye on this thread.
