[Bug 1855574] Re: grub-efi-amd64-signed (1.93.15+2.02-2ubuntu8.14) failed to upgrade, system unbootable

[Vivien GUEANT]

I am affected by this bug on a server Dell PowerEdge R320 with Ubuntu
18.04 LTS.

Unable to create EFI entry with efibootmgr.

If my server reboots, I know it will not be able to restart.

Watch the screenshot of my attempts to create a UEFI entry with
efibootmgr --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --create --gpt --label "ubuntu"
--loader "\EFI\ubuntu\shmix64.efi"
