bdmurray | cjwatson: bug 756564 has been receiving some more activity | 18:31 |
ubot2 | Launchpad bug 756564 in grub2 "After Maverick to Natty upgrade, grub won't boot and displays "symbol not found : 'grub_env_export'"" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/756564 | 18:31 |
cjwatson | bdmurray: pretty much every time that bug appears, it's a local misconfiguration | 20:00 |
cjwatson | or any bug of that form - GRUB failing to find a symbol | 20:01 |
cjwatson | it happens when the core image is out of sync with modules, which happens when grub-pc is configured to install to the wrong device | 20:01 |
bdmurray | cjwatson: so it generally happens when people have been modifying grub's configuration? | 20:05 |
bdmurray | cjwatson: or these type of things | 20:05 |
cjwatson | botched migration from one boot loader to another; old bugs hanging around from a couple of releases of Ubuntu ago; debconf database got trashed for some reason; maybe confusion around swapping disks; etc. | 20:06 |
cjwatson | http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/blosxom/debian/2010-06-21-grub2-boot-problems.html describes a genuine bug that used to cause many such problems | 20:07 |
cjwatson | bdmurray: I think what I'm going to do is write up some documentation for the upstream GRUB manual on what this kind of thing means and what you can do about it | 20:09 |
cjwatson | I don't think there's much space for a more detailed error message, unfortunately | 20:09 |
