[Bug 1921143] Re: efivarfs_set_variable: writing to fd 7 failed: Invalid argument.

[Benjamin Drung]

Since the original reporter says that the problem has been corrected by
some update between 2021-04-02 and 2021-04-20, I am setting this bug to
Fix Released. If someone experiences a bug with similar error messages,
please file a new bug report and include your motherboard information
(because it could also be a problem of the EFI implementation there).

** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
