mxgrub broken

root@nsa:~# mxgrub default
cat: '/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/[ab]*.mod': No such file or directory

  Note: GRUB version installed in /usr differs from GRUB version used to boot.

  Consider updating the boot-loader with:

           grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda

GRUB is already installed in MBR.
grub-editenv - set chosen=mariux-5.10.24-375
root@nsa:~# grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.

Already fixed on distmaster.

maybe umount /boot/efi isn't your friend here ? I did test it on sigstop or ill... somewhere but ...

You have to specify the target:

sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda

[donald]

Hmmm. mxgrub KERNEL seems to always do grub-install. Can we just dispose the misleading check and error message?

[donald]

@thomas : 4ac501c is yours.

I believe, as we figured out at a teatime conference call, that it’s my UEFI installation check that is broken. I created issue #180.

Great, thanks!
