I'm trying re-install a boot-loader in Ubuntu 18.04 / I follow all the standard steps (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair)/ But after I reboot it shows this message:

failed to create unit file /run/systemsd/generatpr/-.mount

I have tried to delete this file as well and run the automatic boot-loader steps again... but nothing seems to work or change anything...even though everything runs with success when I follow all the steps...

The reason why I have this issue is that I by accident earlier created the boot partition on one SSD (and all other partitions on another SDD) which now has been formated...

my boot-info file look like this:

boot-repair-4ppa125                                              [20200623_2047]

Suggested repair: ______________________________________________________________

The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would purge (in order to sign-grub) and reinstall the grub-efi-amd64-signed of nvme0n1p3, using the following options: nvme0n1p1/boot/efi, Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s use-standard-efi-file restore-efi-backups

Final advice in case of suggested repair: ______________________________________

Please do not forget to make your UEFI firmware boot on the Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS entry (nvme0n1p1/efi/**/shim.efi (** will be updated in the final message) file) !

Because I'm not a superuser of Ubuntu I'm not 100% what actually solved my issue - But I did the following:

  1. Changed the EFI partition from: /mnt/FF1C-735F to /boot

  2. Changed the partition with Ubuntu 18.04 from mnt/some guid to /

  3. When I rebooted it stopped and reported this error: stuck in emergency mode - FAT-fs (nvme0n1p1): IO charset iso8859-1 not found --> I searched and found this solution: 16.04 - stuck in emergency mode - FAT-fs (nvme0n1p1): IO charset iso8859-1 not found --> I executed depmod, then I entered 'exit' and hit ENTER --> Ubuntu now starts up like before! Also after a reboot! :-)
