[Bug 1269992] Re: 2.02~beta2 requires manual testing

[syscon-hh]

Here it won't work:

 **** tail of terminal output *****

root at USB-GDM-TRUSTY:~# grub-install -v
....
.... line numbers for indification only

line 1 : grub-install: Info: the core size is 0x26978.
line 2 : grub-install: Info: writing 0x27c00 bytes.
line 3 : grub-install: Info: copying `/usr/lib/shim/shim.efi.signed' -> `/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi'.

line 10: grub-install: Info: executing efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdd -p 1 -w -L ubuntu -l \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi.
....
....

relevant error at line 3 -> writes 'grubx64.efi' instead of
'shimx64.efi'. This will be overwriten by line 4!

generating a correct line 3 manually as' shimx64.efi' will start /
reboot fine.

this error was found on several systems and is reproducible after downgrading to 2.00 and upgrading back
 * UbuntuGNOME
 * Ububtu (Unity)
In all cases the entry inside NVRAM pointed out the 'shimx66.efi'  file

Title:
  2.02~beta2 requires manual testing

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm syncing GRUB 2.02~beta2 from Debian experimental into trusty-
  proposed.  This requires some manual testing before we let it loose on
  trusty users in general, so this bug exists to ensure that it doesn't
  reach trusty before we're sure it's ready.
