[EN] PC boots into BIOS

[titan]

After DU today machine boots into BIOS , I saw other thread and tried setting/changing boot order but just get  error "grub_file_filters not found"

[charlyheinz]

This is because grub-efi-amd64-bin has been updated during DU.
You have to reinstall grub as it is shown here:
https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=6065.msg49947#msg49947
What I have to do is to mount /sys different:

mount --rbind /sys mnt/where you chroot/sys

otherwiese I get an installation-warning!!

I am not duel booting just siduction not using uefi

Well, I used a live siduction-iso (mow/giants).
Booted it from a USB-Stick, clicked on the chroot-helper icon and after being root in the chrooted system (the dialog is telling all important things) I ran grub-install and to be sure after it an update-grub!
Rebooted, all is fine again!

Dual-Booting w/Windows 10 here.

All it took was:

chroot w/USB
# grub-install
# update-grub

[hendrikL]

So, I run on a second laptop an "apt full-upgrade" (it could also be nala-upgrade or apt dist-upgrade), grub got its upgrade,
After that full-upgrade, I ran "grub-install /dev/sdb" (sdb is my boot disk) and afterwards "update-grub" (I don't know if this is necessary), rebooted, and I do not have any problems so far.

Code: [Select]

apt policy grub-common
grub-common:
  Installed: 2.12~rc1-7
  Candidate: 2.12~rc1-7

Thanks, I have tried everything here still get same error, I have had enough I am off down the woods on my bike to chill out.

[hendrikL]

So maybe you should downgrade it, if possible.

As far as I can tell the problem occurs with the update of grub from
version 2.06-13 to version 2.12~rc1-7 on the 4th of September.

Only UEFI (with or w/o Secure Boot) Mode is affected. The developer
changed the lines in file /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware:

if [ "\$grub_platform" = "efi" ]; then
        fwsetup --is-supported
        if [ "\$?" = 0 ]; then
                menuentry '$LABEL' \$menuentry_id_option 'uefi-firmware' {
                        fwsetup
                }
        fi

The offending command
"fwsetup --is-supported"
has no consequence for grubx64.efi in version 2.12 but causes
version 2.06 to enter the bios fw settings (obviously version 2.06
ignores the option "--is-supported" and enters the firmware settings
instead).

In rare circumstances the old grubx64.efi is not replaced by the new one.
Comment the offending line in /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware as a quick fix
and run update-grub in a chroot environment as suggested.

One short information to the chroot-helper and  encrypted systems. First you have to open your crypted system before chrooting in to it.
So you have to do it by hand, sorry.

@ Teriarch: Bingo great job, thank you !!

Did you decrypt via cli or from another method. I've been trying luksopen the running chroot-helper but get prompted drive is already in use. Might need to chroot manually

I gave up with my original install, and did a clean install, with new ssd of latest siduction but after du it has same problem but Teriarch's solution fixed it
