broke my grub. Can it be fixed?
Trying to install another OS on a second hard drive broke my grub. Upon reboot I get a file not found error and sent to grub rescue.
Once I successfully booted up into sda (original Aramo) but doing grub-update seemed to break that too.
Last thing tried was:
trisquel@trisquel:~$ sudo grub-setup -d /media/2023-03-15-21-07-13-00/EFI/BOOT /dev/sda1
sudo: grub-setup: command not found
Since I have /home as a separate partition I could try reinstalling the first Aramo. Maybe do the Second hard drive first (wanted to try Fedora Budgie spin) and then reinstall Aramo on the first hard drive. I notice I get messages about no os-prober which seems a problem.
What does anybody think. Am currently logged in via Aramo Live CD.
Screenshot might have more info.

Side note: Is trisquel.org associated with us here? I started to go there but the browser complained about risks. I've accepted the risks and there is not much there but features a GNU.

Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot (ignore every step dealing with software RAID and bcache, unless unless you use them... but you would know it!).
Thanks Magic.
I did look at that one too but I decided to go ahead and reinstall - doing the Budgie distro to the the second hard drive and then doing Aramo on the first hard drive thereby having grub end up on the first hard drive. It's all good now.
Had me worried though and put the fear of not having a recent backup in me! Good thing /home survived.
