Unable to boot > Update appears to have broken ability to boot from USB stick >
by Noob-Tech-Ninja from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6QB3V)
Hi there guys.
I was hoping that you could help me with an issue that I've been experiencing.
Background:
On my main PC I have x1 Linux OS installation (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).
on my main SSD.
I also have a USB stick with a persistent installation of
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS IIRC.
(For a variety of tasks, inc recovery).
The USB stick is a 64 GB capacity, and sliced into x2 partitions
and configured as follows:
OS: 34 GB
Data: 30 GB
Issue:
Since a recent update (on my host PC), I have lost the ability to boot into the OS on my
USB stick installation.
ATM I can boot into my main PC fine and without issues.
However I do want to regain access to my persistent USB installation too.
When I boot my PC, each time I will see the following Error message:
Code:Failed to open \EFI\ubuntu\ -Not Found
Troubleshooting:
Using K-Partition Manager I can see the following:
1. On my main/host PC looking at the UEFI / Boot partition =
Code:Mount point: /boot/efi
Partition type: Primary
Status: mounted on boot/efi
Flags:
bios/grub = uncheked
boot = checked
2. On my USB stick I can see the following:
Code:Mount point: none found
Partition type: Primary
Status: idle
Flags:
bios/grub: unchecked
boot: checked
3. (On my host PC)
I can mount both partitions of the USB stick in question, and
navigate them as normal.
4. (On my host PC)
When accessing the UEFI / early boot screen, I have selected the USB stick
with the Persistent OS on it. However I still see the same error message (as mentioned above).
5. I ran sudo-update-grub via the CLI on my host PC.
However this has not resolved the issue.
6. I've included the logs from my apt history.
(N.B. the only change that I've made is to change my real username
to show as [my-user-name] in the logs).

[Edit]
7. I have another USB stick with a number of different apps and distros on them
(E.G. Eset anti malware Live distro, Linux recovery tools)
And this USB stick can be booted from USB without any issues.
Questions:
1. Has the recent update (on my host PC) borked the grub / ability to boot on my USB stick ?
2. Is there an easy way to restore the ability to boot into my USB stick ?
3. What do I need to do, in order to fix this issue ?
TIA for any help or advice.
Useful details:
PC OS: Ubuntu 22.04. LTS
Kernel: 6.8.0-40 generic (64 bit)
KDE Plasma: 5.24.7
I was hoping that you could help me with an issue that I've been experiencing.
Background:
On my main PC I have x1 Linux OS installation (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).
on my main SSD.
I also have a USB stick with a persistent installation of
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS IIRC.
(For a variety of tasks, inc recovery).
The USB stick is a 64 GB capacity, and sliced into x2 partitions
and configured as follows:
OS: 34 GB
Data: 30 GB
Issue:
Since a recent update (on my host PC), I have lost the ability to boot into the OS on my
USB stick installation.
ATM I can boot into my main PC fine and without issues.
However I do want to regain access to my persistent USB installation too.
When I boot my PC, each time I will see the following Error message:
Code:Failed to open \EFI\ubuntu\ -Not Found
Troubleshooting:
Using K-Partition Manager I can see the following:
1. On my main/host PC looking at the UEFI / Boot partition =
Code:Mount point: /boot/efi
Partition type: Primary
Status: mounted on boot/efi
Flags:
bios/grub = uncheked
boot = checked
2. On my USB stick I can see the following:
Code:Mount point: none found
Partition type: Primary
Status: idle
Flags:
bios/grub: unchecked
boot: checked
3. (On my host PC)
I can mount both partitions of the USB stick in question, and
navigate them as normal.
4. (On my host PC)
When accessing the UEFI / early boot screen, I have selected the USB stick
with the Persistent OS on it. However I still see the same error message (as mentioned above).
5. I ran sudo-update-grub via the CLI on my host PC.
However this has not resolved the issue.
6. I've included the logs from my apt history.
(N.B. the only change that I've made is to change my real username
to show as [my-user-name] in the logs).

[Edit]
7. I have another USB stick with a number of different apps and distros on them
(E.G. Eset anti malware Live distro, Linux recovery tools)
And this USB stick can be booted from USB without any issues.
Questions:
1. Has the recent update (on my host PC) borked the grub / ability to boot on my USB stick ?
2. Is there an easy way to restore the ability to boot into my USB stick ?
3. What do I need to do, in order to fix this issue ?
TIA for any help or advice.
Useful details:
PC OS: Ubuntu 22.04. LTS
Kernel: 6.8.0-40 generic (64 bit)
KDE Plasma: 5.24.7
