I'm coming at you from the live CD now. I double checked /etc/default/grub and those quotes (that fix) are already correct.
I thought I would sudo update-grub yet another time, and recheck again. I saw that the countdown time was at 10, and I changed it to 4(preference). Yes, I am sure I did not change anything else. sudo update-grub gave no errors. On boot, I ONLY got a Grub> prompt. :( Not even the original bad magic and no kernel. Now, I'm slogging on the live CD. I changed the value back to 10 (just so all is the verified the same). I had to do a change root (NOT newbie stuff) in order to do an update- grub, as root; on the non-booting system (since there's no easier way to boot a borked, Grub failed system). sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ...Allowed me to update-grub. (Good luck newbies) Now, I'm going to test it. The point is, that fix wasn't the problem, and it's not resolved. -- [MASTER] syntax errors in /etc/default/grub break upgrades https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
