#5

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: grub PC is damaged or not fully installed

oh no it became corrupted. Now lets release the fire!

#6

What can I do to reinstall grub some where else so that it doesn’t get oopsie? if it reboots and fix the issue?

#7

iiiiiii would avoid rebooting as grub is precisely kinda important during the boot process, so if it’s misconfigured the oopsie can become quite bigger …

Maybe let’s first look at lsblk to have a better idea of what are your disk devices…

#8

Yeah gramma was far from correct there I ment that don’t get an optie if it reboots? and fix the issue?
