While the problem accessing Launchpad, which is being worked on in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+question/171870, is worth pursuing further, the necessary information here can be provided by reporting a new bug using Apport. This bug can then be marked as a duplicate of the new bug (which is *not* the same thing as the new bug being marked as a duplicate of this bug). Provided that the original workaround (reinstalling GRUB2 to the boot record manually) is still effective at eliminating the new problem with the boot splash, the new bug can be reported by booting from the Oneiric daily-live (provided that the problem occurs for it) or from a fully updated installed Oneiric system on which the bug occurs and on which the workaround has not been applied, and running:
ubuntu-bug grub-pc Before doing, this, if you have not done so already, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs carefully, and make sure the new bug report contains complete information (it should not be necessary for developers to refer to this bug report), then mark this bug report as a duplicate of the new one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851958 Title: Natty (and meerkat) amd64 desktop live CD/USB fail to boot grub correctly: error:prefix is not set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/851958/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
