[SOLVED] Grub errors when installing or upgrading packages

LilDeadGirl · 08-11-2020, 07:20 PM

I recently had issues with grub in that it wouldn't install. I solved that problem and can now boot linux, albeit I have to go into bios to select the linux drive or the windows drive (I am okay with having to select this way). Now I get error messages and grub-install warnings when installing or upgrading packages.

Code:

All the packages install and update okay, or sure seem to (I haven't run into any issues running the installed packages. I don't understand the "no room left on device" warning as my efi partitions are big enough, or were

What make and model is your system? If you google that message it appears to be a bios firmware bug that some systems have that requires a bios update or the use of shell.efi to fix. I found one youtube video that clams to fix using the efi shell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRkqkdvCyfs. I can't vouch for the video never tried it. I had an acer laptop that gave this message, but I was able to go into the bios to make changes.

I built the computer. It has a ROG Crossfire VII Hero motherboard with a Ryzen 7 cpu. I will check out the video you suggest. Thank you

Updated bios firmware and reinstalled and everything works fine now. Thank you.
