[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

2015-01-02 Thread msth67
To clarify, which one of the proposed workarounds fixes the issue ?

Does fixing in this case mean that no separate /boot partition is
needed ?

[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

2014-07-19 Thread msth67
Here's another strange fact:I've also experimented with a Grub live cd
(Super grub 2disk) and a Grub recovery cd made with  grub-mkrescue,they
both have troubles finding the partitions on the disk.

There are three in total:
/boot partition
/root partition
/swap partition
all of them  are primary.

For some reason to detect all three takes several attempts,at first the
ls command or the detect any grub.cfg in the case of Super grub 2disk
only sees the root partition,then after repeated attempts the full disk
layout is recognized and the system can be booted.

[Bug 1289977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found

2014-07-19 Thread msth67
I can't believe that anyone may chalk this up to a supposedly incorrect
setup:as many others have reported,I've just done a clean install
(Lubuntu Trusty) from CD to a new hard drive,the installation process
finished normally and then the system could not be booted,period.

After fiddling with grub commands and managing to boot the system only
to confirm that once booted there were no issues and the problem was the
boot process in itself,I've resorted to a separate boot partition as
advised in many threads,which  only partially solves the issue:the
system can now boot,yet it still spits out error messages in the
process,and furthermore can't be rebooted,it has to be shut down and
then restarted.

I've installed several Debian and Debian-based distros so far (including
earlier Ubuntu releases) on not-standard multi-boot setups,reinstalled
Grub after recovering some partition,and not once run into this issue:I
can't see how reinstalling/reconfiguring Grub,resorting to command line
methods or having to otherwise repair Grub may be part of a normal
installation process.

I still can't get this to work in my current installation of Lubuntu 14.04:I've 
set all available updates to be displayed immediately,added update-notifier to 
start up applications,and yet no notifications are ever visible.
So far,the only way to find updates has been  to manually launch the update

2014-07-18 Thread msth67
Follow up to my comment #69 : what is triggering the random READ ERROR
message is apparently rebooting the system:cold boot does now (kinda)
work with a separate boot partition and the workaround from comment #53
to hide the error message,however attempting to reboot the system often
triggers this other  READ ERROR message for which I've found no other
solution than hard reset (power off) the computer and then booting it
again.

I can report the same issue in Lubuntu 14.04 32 bit:trying to benchmark my SSD 
fails after few seconds with the message:

Interestingly,I've tried with a live CD of  Lucid 10.04 and it can
perform the read-only benchmark,can't tell about the read  write
benchmark because the SSD is already partitioned.


On a side note,I also can't run self-tests on this disk with Lubuntu,even if it

[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

2014-07-09 Thread msth67
Just a clarification,the error message when trying to reinstall Grub in
the first case (I was able to boot the system but then it was not
possible to reinstall grub from the running system with the usual sudo
grub-install /dev/sdX command.) was:

Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using 
blocklists. However, blocklistts are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

The workaround described in comment #53 apparently works for me,as the
error message is no longer visible,however the boot process itself now
seems to take a bit longer.

[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

2014-07-08 Thread msth67
I've run into this issue after installing Lubuntu 14.04 32 bit on an old laptop 
upgraded with a new 64GB SSD:the disk had first been partitioned with only a 
primary root partition (ext4) and swap, the installation process apparently 
went normally,then after installing the system I did get this error message on 
boot:
error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'. 
Entering rescue mode... 
grub rescue

from that I was able to boot the system following this advice 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/397485/what-to-do-when-i-get-an-attempt-to-read-or-write-outside-of-disk-hd0-error
basically with

grub rescue  set root=(hd0,root partition)
grub rescue  set prefix=(hd0,root partition)/boot/grub
grub rescue  insmod normal
grub rescue  normal

I was able to boot the system but then it was not possible to reinstall
grub from the running system with the usual sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
command.

As a next step,following the advice from the same link posted above,I've 
reformatted the drive with a dedicated boot primary partition and a primary 
root partition (still ext4) plus swap and installed grub to the boot partition 
during the installation process:now I'm getting the
 [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue
message but the system boots most of the times either by hitting a key or 
waiting for the message to time out,except for some times when I see another 
READ ERROR message and I have power off and then on again the laptop.

This was a clean install on a new SSD in single boot mode (no other OS
and no other partitions are present on the disk) and furthermore I've
tried also Mint 17 (based off Ubuntu 14.04 as well) and got stuck in the
same situation.

[Bug 933776] Re: [regression] scale/spread: Initiate Window Picker for All Windows does not show all windows. It shows only windows from current workspace.

2013-09-16 Thread msth67
This fix works perfectly in Mint 13 64 bit Mate edition,I can also set
custom keyboard shortcuts in Compiz preferences to see windows from all
workspaces,no issues-just a note,in my case logging in again via Mint's
new login didn't do the trick,a full reboot was needed to have things
working.

As for my comment #189 and reply #191,in reality I can't recall what was
going wrong,after this fix now everything is working as expected,with
button 3 zooming on the selected window-if anything,the scale addon that
makes possible to pull a window to another workspace to the current
one (when viewing windows from all workspaces) isn't working,but I don't
know if that would be worth fixing.

Thanks a lot.

2013-04-10 Thread msth67
Apart from Initiate Window Picker For All Windows being still broken
to date,I would also point out that,once the plugin action (for a single
window,obviously...) is initiated,the right-click (or button 3 ) click
to exit the plugin doesn't work as it used to in previous compiz
versions,which is kinda annoying and also IMHO inconsistent with the
usual behavior,still found for instance in the Expo plugin.

[Bug 1164741] [NEW] Consider extending support for Lucid 10.04.4 LTS

2013-04-04 Thread msth67
Public bug reported:

Now that Ubuntu Lucid 10.0.4 has almost reached the end of its life-
cycle,considering how much of a dramatic change would be the upgrade to
the current 12.04 LTS release,would it be possible to consider an
extension of its support,although strictly limited to security updates?

People who still use Lucid do this for a reason,they have in all
likeliness tried the newer Ubuntu releases and drawn the conclusion that
they are far too distant from Lucid to be considered an update,they
actually are a different OS altogether.

Lucid has indeed been working flawlessly (at least,as far as a software
can be flawless) so far and actually still does,so giving up on this
release for something else that is not nearly as easy and comfortable to
use for them may not be an option.

Considering that this kind of users is certainly not interested in using
the latest and greatest software (or else they would have made the move
to the current 12.x releases by now),why not consider a limited form of
support for keeping this traditional yet still very functional and
widely appreciated Ubuntu release still alive?
