[FIXED BY pyte!]mount: /var/lib/grub/esp: special device /dev/sda15 does not exist.

Hi..

When I try to update my server this error!

If I run "sudo apt update" i get this..

Code:

ghost-mgr@skytower:~$ sudo apt upgrade

1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

And then "sudo apt upgrade" I get this error:

Code:

Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.182~22.04.1+2.06-2ubuntu10) ...
mount: /var/lib/grub/esp: special device /dev/sda15 does not exist.
dpkg: error processing package grub-efi-amd64-signed (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent processing triggers for shim-signed:

  Package grub-efi-amd64-signed is not configured yet.
  Package grub-efi-arm64-signed is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package shim-signed (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Can someone help me to fix the error...

 

I did find this solution.. And it seams to fix the problem for me..

Code:

apt remove shim-signed grub-efi-amd64-bin --allow-remove-essential

 

This was an bad idea... Don't reboot the machine, as it might won't boot anymore!

Run these commands:

Code:

sudo apt-get purge grub\*
sudo apt-get install grub-efi
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo update-grub

You also need to validate if grub is still installed with

Code:

sudo ls /boot/grub/

, post the output here.

 

sudo apt-get purge grub\

Grub can't seem to find your efi partition. Can you please provide the Output of parted like so:

Ok it seems like the boot and esp flag is missing which is why grub can't detect esp. Did you change your disks in this server?

Code:

sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1
(parted) set 2 esp on ( NOTE: try this it may fails as the disklabel is dos)
(parted) set 2 boot on
(parted) p
(parted) quit

# Do the same for the /dev/nvme1n1
sudo parted /dev/nvme1n1
(parted) set 2 esp on ( NOTE: try this it may fails as the disklabel is dos)
(parted) set 2 boot on
(parted) p
(parted) quit

Report back with the output

EDIT: I have not change disk... The problem come after a update..

 

I've just realized what is happening here...

Revert these changes

Code:

sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1
(parted) set 2 esp off
(parted) set 2 boot off
(parted) set 2 raid on
(parted) p
(parted) quit

# Do the same for the /dev/nvme1n1
sudo parted /dev/nvme1n1
(parted) set 2 esp off
(parted) set 2 boot off
(parted) set 2 raid on
(parted) p
(parted) quit

Then try installing grub like so:

Code:

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1

 

If i run

Code:

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1

i get this error:

Code:

root@skytower ~ # grub-install /dev/nvme0n1
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.

 

Alright there's the issue. Please install the package "grub-pc"

Code:

sudo apt-get install grub-pc

And then try installing it again with

Code:

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1

 

If i run the first command - i get this output..

Code:

root@skytower ~ # sudo apt-get install grub-pc

This look correct. Now to boot of off both drives, install it on the other disk as well:

Code:

grub-install /dev/nvme1n1

Then update grub with:

Code:

update-grub /dev/nvme0n1
update-grub /dev/nvme1n1

Then let's remove that conflicting package:

Code:

apt autoremove --purge grub-efi-am64-signed
apt autoremove --purge grub-efi-amd64-bin
apt autoremove --purge grub-efi

Check back if the error still occurs with:

Code:

apt upgrade

Report back with output of the commands
