[Bug 1961626] Re: grub rescue after installing alongside

[Ross Gammon]

No problems Erich. It is a bit hard to do that when you can't boot in to
the machine and it makes you late for your evening meal :-)

Title:
  grub rescue after installing alongside

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Existing Ubuntu Studio installation (21.10) is on sda.
  Plugged in external USB disk (500G) - sdc. Wiped partition on it with gparted.
  Booted into 20.04.4 Ubuntu Studio Live DVD & chose install. Chose to install alongside 21.10, and it correctly installed to sdc.
  On reboot, I got the grub rescue prompt.
  I had to boot back into the Live DVD, chroot into sda, reinstall grub, and upgrade grub.
  After a reboot, I can now boot both installations.
