grub update making automated install stuck

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2882 / 2 Years ago, sat, february 19, 2022, 4:04:25

I am following these instructions- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server 64 bit.

The problem is that when the update script is executed, it gets stuck because GRUB is asking a question "You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue, the boot loader may not be properly configured, and when this computer next starts up it will use whatever was previously in the boot sector"

How do I make automated install work? Is there a way to blacklist a particular update to a package.

Reconfigure the grub-pc package

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow grub-pc

When asked about the partition or disk to install Grub to, choose one, or just skip the options and click OK if you don't want Grub to be installed anywhere.

Then check the options

debconf-show grub-pc

You should see the key grub-pc/install_devices set to the disk/partition you've chosen, or grub-pc/install_devices_empty set to true if you chose not to install Grub.

Then if you test this by reinstalling the package

sudo apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc

you should not be asked any You chose not to install GRUB to any devices questions anymore.
