Efi Shell error in Ubuntu 14.04

Hello everyone!

Last week I hired a cloud server with Ubuntu 14.04. But I noticed a very weird behavior from it.

When I run:

PHP Code:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Or

PHP Code:



sudo apt-get distro-upgrade

Or

PHP Code:



sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades
sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

The system makes some updates and when I reboot it I get this error:
https://uploaddeimagens.com.br/image...png?1510008592

I noticed that this happens when there are updates for Grub. The problem is that I need to keep my server safe with updates.

Does anybody can help me with this? I would like to be able to run those commands without any efi disk issue.

Thank you!

Make sure to have the efivars module loaded before running the update, so grub-efi can update the EFI boot configuration.

Are you able to boot from the EFI shell?

When I got this error I couldn't login to the system anymore... I made a new install of it again... Is there any way to deny the grub update via apt-get upgrade?
