Latest grub bricked my system (grub_is_shim_lock_enabled not found)

I had this happening to me as well.

Normally after an update to the package grub, I do:

grub-install --no-nvram

and

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

But today after reboot, I had the same issue as yours.

I tried then again with:

sudo grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi

and this resolved the issue for me. Looks like, this time, the EFI entry needs a renewal.

I thought it was an issue on my end.

If other users are also hit by this, perhaps an “announcement” should be made on the forum.

Edit:
correction: --efi >> --efi-directory.
Thanks to @gipo355 for bringing it to my attention.
