Yesterday I updated my OS version from Kubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, Unfortunately it came with a slew of problems (primarily with Grub 2.06)
Today, I encountered the following error upon booting Grub:
minimal BASH like line editing is supported (...).
Instead of being directed towards the usual graphical interface, I was presented with a CLI, asking me for input. I have, with success, temporarily solved the issue with advice given in on this post at geeksforgeeks.org.
by executing the following commands:
set root=(hd1,gpt2)
set prefix=(hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal
and
sudo grub-install /dev/sdXY (in my case, /boot/efi is located on sdb3)
sudo update-grub
upon booting my OS. However, upon rebooting the problem persists, and I am once again sent to the CLI.
Output from
sudo update-grub
is as follows:
