Thread: grub-install mysterious message "source_dir doesn't exist"

-

i have multiple distros installed , wanted move grub newest one: ubuntu 13.04
did did no longer works.

$ sudo update-grub
runs ok , puts grub.cfg @ /boot/grub

$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
produces following error:
"source_dir doesn't exist. please specify --target or --directory"

info page grub-install useless. tell me did.
information regarding --target , --directory incomprehensible.

update-grub seems looking "modinfo.sh" cannot find.

what did exactly? how did "move grub newest"? , why? distro handling grub before "moved' grub?
