[bluzeo]

Starting to regret to put my rig back on an ubuntu drivi distro. Debian is better through and through. It is rare

Thank you for that info, Jerry! Most reassuring!

Run this check first:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update

Code: [Select]

apt policy grub-pc
If it does not report in the first 2 lines:

Code: [Select]

grub-pc:
  Installed: 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.11
  Candidate: 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.11

The updated packages are not available in your Countries repos yet.

Run the above commands once a day until you show the above version.

Buggy version:

2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.10

Fixed, updated version:

2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.11

When I run the above commands I get:

grub-pc:
  Installed: 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9
  Candidate: 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9

It looks to me that I am running 3.9 not 3.10 or 3.11. I usually check for updates once or twice a day. Does this mean I should update or not?

Coastie, the answer is in the 2nd command, 'If it does not...'

I've updated post #12 to be more specific.

Using Lite Tweaks, I restored package management to default. (I had changed it to USA Atlantic because I had read it would be faster.) Ran commands again in terminal and the grub update was available so I updated without any problem.

Wondering why I got the update so fast here in Greece...

I am seriously debating on going back to an Debian only distro... like Noah said from Jb community. Ubuntu need thier act together.
