Eric this fix has already been released . If it has broken your install the fix involves getting Wubi to boot, and then manually repairing it.
At ubuntuforums.org we are working on a single thread to explain all this in a clear and concise way, but in the meantime, you can do this. Boot a live CD, identify your windows partition that contains the root.disk (this example assumes /dev/sda1), and then edit grub.cfg as follows: sudo mkdir /media/win sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/win sudo mount -o loop /media/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt sudo cp /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg.copy sudo chmod +w /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg gksu gedit /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg Then delete all lines up to but not including the first line that starts with 'menuentry'. Save and reboot. This should get you back into the Wubi install. You then need to make sure the problem doesn't happen again (as grub.cfg gets automatically regenerated). First back up /boot/grub sudo cp -r /boot/grub /boot/grubbackup Then delete all the stuff in /boot/grub that isn't supposed to be there (everything added after a fresh wubi install) - take care with the rm and rm -rf commands: cd /boot/grub sudo rm *.mod sudo rm *.img sudo rm *.lst sudo rm *.o sudo rm *.pf2 sudo rm -rf locale This leaves just 2 files in /boot/grub: grub.cfg grubenv Then update the grub.cfg automatically: sudo update-grub To prevent grub updates from breaking it again: Go to Synaptic, select packages grub-pc and grub-common, click on Package, Lock Version -- [Wubi] when updating it advices to install grub on all partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581760 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
