So update-grub got killed by 10 minute timeout...

grub2 "lets probe everything under the sun" insanity strikes again...

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-25 14:31:40 CEST

We could do as I've suggested in other bugs:
1) reduce the timeout to a more sensitive value (eg: 3mn ?)
2) detect the timeout issue and (if needed) automatically remove os-prober & rerun update-grub2
