    Hi folks,

        I updated my PC, running Debian Testing AKA "Trixie" on Friday and haven't been able to boot into Debian ever since. I can tell that I need
    to reinstall GRUB, but I'm having trouble with the instructions on the
    Debian page for reinstalling GRUB <https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall#Using_A_Live_CD.2FUSB_To_Fix_Your_Current_System>.
    It sounds like I'm supposed to do the /efi=runtime/ boot option and also
    mount the EFI variables, but when I try to mount the EFI variables, GRUB
    says it can't do that.

    Is it possible to do the boot option and mount the EFI variables in the
    live image's menu before having it boot into Debian or should I just do
    the boot option, boot into Debian and then mount the EFI variables?
