Hmyeah it mentions some ata-VBOX_HARDDISK … does that ring any bell ?

Did something happen about your disks recently somehow ?

someonesusername · February 11, 2021, 11:21am

hmm I did move things to an other disk to expand the storage space as I noted in;

But then again 11 days ago I did an update and it was fine

Aleks · February 11, 2021, 11:24am

Weeeell idk let’s try what it advices and :

dpkg-reconfigure  grub-pc

someonesusername · February 11, 2021, 11:27am

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

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

someonesusername · February 11, 2021, 11:37am

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

Aleks · February 11, 2021, 11:39am

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…

someonesusername · February 11, 2021, 12:27pm

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

Aleks · February 11, 2021, 1:06pm

someonesusername · February 11, 2021, 1:10pm

someonesusername · February 11, 2021, 1:11pm

Aleks · February 11, 2021, 1:48pm
