Installation failure for grub-efi-amd64-signed #1605

jamtur01 · 2020-09-16T15:19:41Z

Description
We're seeing some intermittent failures using the ubuntu-20.04 image (Version: 20200914.1). We run a bootstrap script that does an apt update and then an apt upgrade which fails with:

Setting up grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.142.6+2.04-1ubuntu26.4) ...
Trying to migrate /boot/efi into esp config
Installing grub to /boot/efi.
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: warning: Internal error.
grub-install: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: Operation not permitted.

You can see some failures here:

vectordotdev/vector#3932

Specifically:

You can see one of the workflows here:

And the bootstrap script we run here:

Repro steps

It's intermittent - but is happening more on each run we've monitored.

Hello, @jamtur01
Could you please add commands below before apt update --yes and rerun build?

apt-get install grub-efi
update-grub

jamtur01 · 2020-09-16T17:22:41Z

Looks like that fixes it. Certainly, none of our bootstraps have failed, but given the problem has been intermittent I am not 100% sure.

You can see the output of checks here:

vectordotdev/vector#3938

jamtur01 · 2020-09-16T20:46:25Z

This isn't a permanent solution. We use the same bootstrap script inside Docker containers - this solution will obviously choke in there as update-grub will fail.

al-cheb · 2020-09-17T06:16:41Z

@jamtur01 , As a temporary workaround you can test if process running in a docker container:

if ! grep 'docker' /proc/1/cgroup -q ; then  
	update-grub
fi

Feel free to open the thread if you have any concerns.

jamtur01 · 2020-09-30T13:57:24Z

Has the issue been resolved and can we remove the workaround?

al-cheb · 2020-09-30T17:54:19Z

@jamtur01, Looks like the issue doesn't reproduce on the new image:

 - name: Azure
      run: |
        sudo apt update --yes
        sudo apt upgrade --yes

Hello, @jamtur01
Looks like a bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1871963

As a temporary workaround, please update workflow to include:

- run: sudo apt-get purge grub\*
- run: sudo bash scripts/environment/bootstrap-ubuntu-20.04.sh

- Use customized build commands - Use Ubuntu 20.04 for libgtk-3-dev 3.24.20 - Add workaround for grub package issue Ref: actions/runner-images#1605

Deployment of Ubuntu 20.04 has been finished.

This appears to be causing build failures now: https://github.com/timberio/vector/runs/2830503940#step:6:1230 And the relevant Github Actions runner issue this was meant to address (actions/runner-images#1605) has been resolved so it doesn't seem necessary anymore.
