Installing GRUB to Moved OS on New SSD & EFI Errors?
I'm trying to migrate to a new SSD that I installed in the second laptop drive bay.
I've followed the typical tutorial (How to move Ubuntu to an SSD) and boot-repair can't see grub under the advanced options. When I attempted to boot using F9 and selected "Ubuntu", I got the GRUB minimal option screen.
I've copied my filesystem over using cp. Since I'm using btrfs, this means that /dev/sdc (The SSD) currently has @ and @home on it.
Quick snapshot of lsblk:
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 1.7G 1 loop /rofs
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk

├─sda2 8:2 0 931G 0 part
└─sda3 8:3 0 2M 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 22.4G 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 3.8G 0 part
sdc 8:32 0 465.8G 0 disk /mnt

sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
/dev/sda1 contains my EFI partition on my old mechanical HDD.
I'm currently on the Kubuntu live USB and am trying to get grub to install on the moved filesystem. It is complaining about the EFI though.
Here's what I've tried so far to install grub (As boot-repair doesn't seem to work):
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/@/boot/efi/
kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/@/boot --bootloader-id=Kubuntu --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt/@/boot/efi
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
How should I proceed?
EDIT 0:
I performed sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi and installed the packages: grub-efi-amd64 grub-efi-amd64-bin. This led to a different outcome on grub:
kubuntu@kubuntu:/mnt$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/@/boot --bootloader-id=Kubuntu --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt/@/boot/efi
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
Not sure if it'll boot. I guess I'll check back.
