Re: [Bug 477104] Re: After 9.10 grub update can not boot into Wubi install
I say again: Good work on the patch. Kernel version 2.6.31.19 appeared on Update Manager last night and I rolled my dice. Linux rebooted 5x5. Thanks, fixers.

Re: [Bug 477169] Re: Wubi/Karmic boot: kernel panic - not synching: VFS
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 477104 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477104 This looks like an imaginative adaptation of the code underlying the GRUB Menu. I surely will save it. You allude to a grave problem, however, the time it took to find the solution. Distributive responsibility for writing patches is the egalitarian approach, but we (Gomer) end-users have no basis for authenticating proposals, except long exposure to those who propose. Are they not free to come or go, those who propose? I think Ubuntu needs a central committee. I think with a central committee there would not have been need of this fix in the first place.

Re: [Bug 477169] Patch Installer
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 477104 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477104 Sébastien, Amen to your prayer. I salute the industry of Ubuntu developers and followers, but these corrupting, recommended updates and upgrades are driving me to the realization Ubuntu should not yet be in the public domain. Like me, you have read that we should install Ubuntu straight in, that is, avoid Wubi. A straight install displaces the Windows boot loader, however. We would be dependent on GRUB to boot both OS. What are we to do after the next GRUB or Linux kernel update, when GRUB fails to boot Ubuntu /and/ Windows? Exactly whose assurance am I, a programming neophyte, to accept that GRUB is invulnerable to update subversion when integrated into a straight Ubuntu install, be my external file system NTFS or no, be my Ubuntu partition above or below 4 GIG? I detect no plainly trustworthy Ubuntu authority. Rather, it is distributed over an ad hoc network of volunteers. Is like a leaderless, silent Quaker Meeting. Ubuntu is nearly as inscrutable and amorphous. Is certainly better that Boeing produced my 777.

Re: [Bug 477104] Re: After 9.10 grub update can not boot into Wubi install
Wiped and reinstalled 9.10 before your patch became available. I did not use the LiveCD, but downloaded then current Wubi.exe and let it fetch all needed modules of 9.10. This installed Grub 1.97~B4, which appears to function without any glitch. Have kept your mail and patch against the possibility of future trouble. I thank you (all) for fixing the modules in the online repository that Wubi.exe tapped. If they had not been put right I still would be huddled behind the 8-ball. Again, thanks for fixes and for your diligence in writing me.

[Bug 477104] Re: After 9.10 grub update can not boot into Wubi install
Re: Post #5: Mr. Russo; On my machine C:\wubildr and H:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr match exactly as to Byte size and MD5Sum, as do C:\wubildr.mbr and H:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr, where Win 2K is installed on C:\ (or Disc 1-1) and Ubuntu 9.10 is(was) installed on H:\ (or Disc 2-1). Disc 1-1 is the only Primary partition on drives; all other are Logical within Extended partitions; and ALL partitions are NTFS. Ergo, I did not replace the two files on C:\. As of the failure of Grub 1.97~B4 to boot the system, H:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub is vacant. Nichts, hidden or visible. I rather think you now have moved beyond this. If I may assist another way, please advise.

Having reinstalled 9.10 once already, upgraded Grub twice, and sifted through all 82 foregoing posts, plus more linked struggling, I suddenly recognize I could be dealing with this Schweinerei for five more months. However engrossing a hobby Ubuntu might prove, I have remunerating work to finish. -- After 9.10 grub update can not boot into Wubi install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
