Public bug reported:
Hello there.
I have just installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my PC with a single partition on
btrfs file system. There was no show any errors during installation.
When I rebooted, I got the legacy grub menu and when I select any option
of boot (either windows or ubuntu), I'm getting message:
error: sparse files not allowed. Press any key to continue.
I found some manaul and removed the following lines doing via that
manual:
recordfail=1
if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
So, when I removed these entries, the system booted just fine.
I have no idea why these two lines would cause a problem, but they appear to.
There already were same bugs, I've seen(one of them more than 9 years ago
started (#464743 e.g.)).
Is it so hard to fix this?
