Grub install error

General system Newbie

Hello! Today I updated my laptop; however, when I try to install the new grub, I get the following error:

[ehudd@endeavour ~]$ grub-install
Installing for platform x86_64-efi.
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so the backup partition /dev/sdb1 is used. 
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so the backup partition /dev/sdb1 is used. 
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so the backup partition /dev/sdb1 is used. 
grub-install: error: disk "hostdisk//dev/sdb1" not found.

I need to know if I can reboot my computer without damaging my system access.

Thanks in advance

Try sudo grub-install --no-nvram

Thank you very much! It worked perfectly. I will investigate what the --no-nvram parameter means.

It’s for UEFI platforms and what I use myself (because I’m on UEFI as well)
