Hello Daniel,
Daniel Leidert dijo [Fri, Jul 04, 2025 at 04:25:25PM +0200]:
Recently, images ćreated for UEFI systems fail to boot. I can reproduce the >problem with the base.vmdb2 file from tje vmb2 source. If I change that file to
create an image for Bookworm and boot it with QEMU, I end up in the Grub shell.
If I create an image for Ubuntu, I do not even get there. I can boot into a >live system, mount all necessary devices and run 'dpkg-reconfigure >grub-efi-amd64', and then it usually boots. vmdb2 shows no errors during its >operation.
Interestingly, the same appears to happen with vmdb2 in Bookworm. Given that >vmdb2 also hasn't seen any recent uploads, a third-party might be the culprit >here.
Images built for BIOS are not affected.
I am sorry I could not reply (not even _look at_ this bug) until now that
our dear friend Elbrus pulled my attention to it; I was preparing with the family for the trip to Europe, and am now dedicating most of my attention
to DebConf.
I do not have my regular systems with me, and cannot really check this with
me. I will forward this bug report to the upstream developer; Lars, I hope
you can take a look at this. Otherwise, I'll be able to devote some time to this once I'm back home, approx. a week from today.
Daniel, given you say that "images built for BIOS are not affected", I hope
you agree this bug does not break this package for all use cases, and will degrade its severity to "important".
Thanks!
