I think this is also a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lupin/+bug/604417 which is a problem in the lupin overrides of grub, as it relies on the existence of the file /host/wubildr to determine if it's a wubi install. If you don't install wubi on the same partition as

@Alex, I had the same issue when testing the MBR issue with the latest updates: choosing Ubuntu ends up at a grub prompt.I am assuming your wubi is on /dev/sda3 based on your comments: This is the easy way but may not work: grub configfile (hd0,3)/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr.cfg This is the long way:

@ buBoo2Age: based on xissburg's comment above, I'd say his root.disk was on E:, so /host did not contain wubildr. So I do think the issue is the same. I should probably clarify: I think the end result is the same as bug 604417 (as it should have prevented the damage), however, I don't think

Further info... New Wubi installs only contain two files in /boot/grub: grubenv and grub.cfg The problem is that when grub.cfg is generated, it fails with syntax errors. The load_video function is empty. This is because the script references a file /boot/grub/video.lst and this does not exist.

I think this bug is more to do with the fact that Wubi offers languages that aren't supported by Ubiquity - not so much that Afrikaans is not supported (I just picked the first one on the list). It may be that the fix is to provide an Afrikaans translation... but there might be other mismatches.
