** Patch added: "grubenv.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/913336/+attachment/2662333/+files/grubenv.diff
** Description changed: /etc/init.d/grub-common and /etc/pm/sleep.d/10_grub-common call grub- editenv to clear the recordfail setting to indicate that the system booted or awoke successfully. They call grub-editenv, which creates the - grubenv file if it doesn't exist. If the admin has deleted the grubenv - file intentionally because they don't want grub writing to the - filesystem (or because grub lacks write support for that filesystem), - this behavior is annoying. + grubenv file if it doesn't exist. + + If the admin has deleted the grubenv file intentionally because they + don't want grub writing to the filesystem, this behavior is annoying. If + the admin has deleted the file because grub does not have write support + for the root filesystem, then this behavior breaks booting; someone has + to hit a key on the console for the machine to boot. The attached patch fixes this. However, I'm not sure what is supposed to create /boot/grub/grubenv originally. If it's the init script, then some further changes will be required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/913336 Title: grub-common recreates /etc/grub/grubenv To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/913336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
