Followed to https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Recover_From_Grub_Failure guide and fixed the part which was now wrong , but now totally stuck :


Code:
sudo vgscan
  Found volume group "pve" using metadata type lvm2
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo vgchange -ay
  26 logical volume(s) in volume group "pve" now active
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /media/rescue
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/pve/root /media/rescue/
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/rescue/boot/efi
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t proc proc /media/rescue/proc
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t sysfs sys /media/rescue/sys
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o bind /dev /media/rescue/dev
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o bind /run /media/run
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -o bind /run /media/rescue/run
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chroot /media/rescue
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo chroot /media/rescue
