Bug Description
Lubuntu mantic re-install of OS on dual boot system.
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
sda5 (no format re-install; dual boot system)
this install has data files added, additional packages added; system installed is Ubuntu MATE 23.04
** Expected outcome
On reboot after install, I expected to be offered GRUB MENU with two options; prior install & this new install
** Actual outcome
On reboot this system booted without offering me choice to select which system I wanted to boot
Package `calamares` selected; but maybe GRUB related issue !
On first boot - I ran `update-grub` & output is

FYI: This install looks correct..
Like yesterday's install... audacious failed to run post-install, but worked correctly once packages were full-upgraded.
audacious continued playing with the track I'd started earlier today (when added in the ubuntu-mate 23.04 install that this install overwrote... it was the 4th random-order track I selected so unlikely just 'random'... it also continued playing at approx where I'd shutdown rather than from start). bad joke from fortune|cowsay etc...
so install looks good EXCEPT FOR LOSS OF DUAL BOOT option due to grub OS_PROBER issue.
We've had this issue before (during alpha stage; jammy I think) & it can be dealt with via documentation if necessary.
