bcbc: It seems to be being regenerated fine in my tests (although those
are by installing natty with Wubi on the Windows partition and
installing the same version again). Could you attach
/var/log/apt/term.log, along with the output of 'sudo debconf-show grub-
pc'?

Ah, never mind. I made my test a bit more realistic and now I see the

Incidentally, my note in comment 11 that 10.04 doesn't have this bug was
in error. It's just that in that version the problematic code was in an
Ubuntu-specific patch rather than upstream ...
** Summary changed:

OK glad to hear you've reproduced this - I couldn't get to my test computer
for a few hours anyway to get you that info.
Also great that you've identified the issues in 10.04 as well. Thanks for
the hard work.

Maddy, maybe i wasn't clear. It worked (initially) but the wubildr
wasn't updated and finally it dropped me at a grub prompt. (That was
buried a bit in my analysis).

Ok, thanks for the info, I have the N/W connectivity so will check it out.
So seems like it still drops to grub prompt.
Let me wait for Ubuntu beta 2 otherwise.

I confirmed a fresh wubi install on today's daily live desktop image, but
using wubi.exe rev206 (separately downloaded) works. I'll test the upgrade
soon.

The grub2 loopback code in 10.04 is structured differently and doesn't
have this particular bug, so any issues in 10.04 are due to something
else. It should be possible to backport this to 10.10, yes (although I
imagine it will be a right pain to validate).

Yes, I imagine it would be a pain. Most 10.04.x wubi users have already
locked grub-* packages by now anyway.
I've tested the fix and it works... with some caveats because my
installs were from a daily-live image with grub prior to version
-8ubuntu1.
In previous releases, updating grub on Wubi
As always, thanks for testing.
Populating /boot/grub when it isn't populated by an initial install is
untidy, and I suppose with some contortions it might be possible to do
something about it, but it shouldn't matter if everything else is
working properly. Actually, I might argue that the real
Yes lupin-support is installed. I believe that's always included with
wubi - you could previously prevent it by hitting the skip button during
the ubiquity install (bug 620028), but the latest ubiquity doesn't have
a skip button (that I've noticed). I've got version 0.33 installed.

One question here,
I have install Ubuntu 10.10 using WUBI and if I upgrade to 11.04 will I hit the
same problem?

It's quite possible, yes. Verifying this for sure would take time that
I would rather spend fixing the problem. :-)

Thanks, I agree, was about to upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 so wanted to be sure
:)
Anyway will probably wait for beta 2 since I am having Ubuntu on my Office
laptop.

Good work!
It seems likely this is the same problem that's caused boot problems on
10.04 after grub updates and the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 (bug
653134, bug 682337).
Any chance that - if there is a grub update on 10.04 and/or 10.10 in the
future - this can be included?
