Daniel and Devi
I did the same. Had the same notices and gave the same response. After
thirty minutes wait, I decided to bite the bullet and turned off my
machine. No grub was found. I mumbled bad things for a few minutes and
pulled out my copy of Ubuntu and reloaded. Took a while to upgrade to
the latest version, as I used 18.04. I don't worry much about it
because I store nothing on my main drive except the operating system. I
was going to call Rex and tell him, but I had already fixed my machine
to normal state by that time.
Regards, Bill

Thanks for the response,
No I just installed mint & have updated everything consistently (I did install Wine)
Should I just shut it down even though the terminals don't seem to be finished & hope for the best?

Even if raid isn’t installed via hard drives some BIOS have the option installed by default which is why that window may have appeared. Did you have encryption or something installed via mint?

Rex or anyone
I attempted to run Boot Repair on my HP Pavilion Mint 19.3 (as
given in the CLUG APPROVED list):
after sudo …. && boot-repair, it ran & then asked “Is there RAID
on this computer?
I answered ‘No’ & it ran again
Then a window appeared with the instructions to copy the following
4 commands, open a terminal & run them
[the window included a picture of another window (warning you may
not be able to boot if you remove Grub)
& said if a similar window appeared to use tab & enter keys to
confirm GRUB removal]:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -fy
sudo apt-get install -y lvm2
sudo apt-get purge -y grub*-common shim-signed
I did so & it ran through the 4 commands but remains at the end of
the last command with apparently nothing happening now
I am left with two terminal windows showing last lines run but not
open command lines
What now ... is it done or hung-up?
