It uses (Well it should, else it's a bug) the UUID of the filesystem which contains the file the command after search uses.

Well Ubuntu choose the way to use GRUB 2 for new installs, but to not change the GRUB version for updates from jaunty (or older versions). This is more safe because GRUB Legacy supports some setups like dmraid which GRUB 2 didn't support at all, when karmic was released. And in these cases grub-installer still installs GRUB Legacy.

A comment: it's blasted hard to make a bootable USB or SD card using
the
ASUS EEEpc alone. Grub apparently has a bug where it writes everything
to the SSD regardless of where you specify it, AND /dev/ sometimes
populates the removeable devices differently when you have different
devices plugged in, or when you have the installer image running, or
the
phase of the moon, or something. :-P
grub-install always uses /boot/grub if you don't use --root-directory=
option, else it uses ${root-directory}/boot/grub
The device you give it is only for the MBR/boot sector code and the
embed copy of core.img if there's space to embed it. But the file which
gets embed also gets first created in /boot/grub.
The grub-pc package runs grub-install on the devices which are stored in
the debconf database for it.
If you want to change/disable that one, then run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure
grub-pc'
But as I just replied to #495423, disabling it can make your system
unbootable if the package gets upgraded and update-grub generates a
grub.cfg which isn't anymore 100% compatible with the older GRUB 2.

But in my karmic chroot bash is still essential and so according to debian-policy which mostly applies as ubuntu-policy too AFAIK, it would be wrong to depend on it. If a Pre-Depends really would be needed for shell scripts then I think this would be a real nightmare, So IMO nothing needs to be changed at all. Just wishlist to remove the bash dependency at all, but I don't think we ever do this in Debian. -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer and GNU GRUB developer -- Missing dependency to bash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487456 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

Re: [Bug 485636] [NEW] Can not disable GRUB2 background image

Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
After setting a grub2 background in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme by
setting the use_bg=true, and setting the image name, running
update-grub2 sets the background, at next reboot it is displayed. If i
set a non-existent image file name, update-grub2 throws an interesting
error message Generating grub.cfg ...
No path or device is specified.
Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.
No path or device is specified.
Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information. This message is not
very friendly, and gives no meaningful information.
This of course shouldn't happen.
The other, and more serious problem is that after setting the use_bg
to false with an existent and working background image, update-grub2
and restart, the image is still shown. The only way to set grub2 back
to console-only mode is to set use_bg to false, and the imagename to a
non-existent image filename. This way after update-grub2 and restart,
I get the console grub2 menu again.
Uhm I'm a bit unsure if you understand basic shell scripting.
If you change
if ${use_bg} ; then
to
if false ; then
or
echo Found Debian background: `basename ${bg}` 2
use_bg=true
if you change this use_bg= to false it has the same effect.
And I just tested both now to be sure.
Note that it doestn't count what update-grub outputs or 00_header says
for the real GRUB. Only /boot/grub/grub.cfg counts for it.
If there's no background_image line in it, it will never use one.

Am Dienstag, den 17.11.2009, 00:58 + schrieb Liu Bo:
Hi, I also met the same problem. But I comment the following code to
work around it.
What does it work around?
Does it do more then just hiding the out of disk error?
If so then we probable have some bug in the error handling.
The kernel out of disk error is a sign for either a bug in our
filesystem code or in the filesystem itself.
Unfortunately reiserfs is the only filesystem for which we have debug
code.
Though it could also be a BIOS bug that it reports a different disk size
then it actually has.
Please confirm the funtion of the above code. Thanks.
I doubt this function is the problem.
And if you would have looked a few lines below where this function gets
actually called it would give you at least a hint how you can find out
for which sector number that function fails.
To get the disk dprintfs shown in rescue mode the following should work,
but it seems like the pager only works in mormal mode.
sudo -s
printf 'set pager=1\nset debug=disk' /boot/grub/rescue.cfg
In /usr/sbin/grub-install change this line
$grub_mkimage --output=${grubdir}/core.img
--prefix=${prefix_drive}${relative_grubdir} $modules || exit 1
to this
$grub_mkimage --config=${grubdir}/rescue.cfg --output=${grubdir}/core.img
--prefix=${prefix_drive}${relative_grubdir} $modules || exit 1
and then just run it like usual.
Though because you're already familiar with compiling and modifying it
you could also replace the grub_dprintf with normal grub_printfs.
