[Bug 653134] Re: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10
@elliot, locking grub-pc and grub-common works to prevent boot problems caused by updating those packages. e.g. on a fresh install of Wubi. If you've already updated grub-pc or upgraded to 10.10, then the /boot/grub directory contains all the grub modules - and that results in the buggy grub.cfg file. Locking grub-* won't be enough in this case, you also have to clean up /boot/grub (restore it to what it is on a fresh wubi install). sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grubold sudo mkdir /boot/grub sudo cp /boot/grubold/grubenv /boot/grub/grubenv sudo update-grub The details are describe in the Wubi megathread on ubuntuforums.org: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653134 Title: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

bcbc and others have advised using synaptics to lock grup-pc and grub-common. I did this - they are still locked (checked after I got back in) but the loadfont problem happened again after my update this morning. Luckily I have Live Cd and the instructions to comment out the lines but why, if they are locked, does the updater change them? I have also locked a lupin something. Not a LInux expert at all but using it instead of Windows XP with wubi - this is annoying and I cannot expect the rest of the family or friends to use Linux if this is going to happen every time.

This is getting worse before it's (hopefully) getting better. Today, the same problem happened again, but not during an upgrade from Lucid to Maverick, but during a regular update of Lucid to the latest Lucid kernel. I noticed that there was an update to grub-pc the other day (current version of grub-pc installed on my system, a Wubi install of 10.04.1 with 32bit PAE kernel: 1.98-1ubuntu9). Today, I upgraded to the latest kernel for my system (2.6.32.27.29), and it stopped booting with the same problem as Maverick before. The work-around above worked to get it running again after loop-mounting the partition into a virtual Ubuntu on the Windows side. No need to run update-grub, though, apparently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653134 Title: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 653134] Re: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10
The reason these extra files get placed in /boot/grub is that grub-
install is called to update the wubildr file, and grub-install calls
grub-install.real (for wubi) and that copies the files (in the following
code grubdir is /boot/grub and pkglibdir is /usr/lib/grub//):
for file in ${pkglibdir}/*.mod ${pkglibdir}/*.lst; do
cp -f $file ${grubdir} || exit 1
done
if [ "${target_cpu}-${platform}" = "i386-pc" ] || [ "${target_cpu}-${platform}"
= "sparc64-ieee1275" ] ; then
for file in ${pkglibdir}/*.img ${pkglibdir}/efiemu??.o; do
if test -f $file; then
cp -f $file ${grubdir} || exit 1
fi
done
fi
=
I suppose an easy temp fix would be to change lupin's grub-install to clean up
/boot/grub on the way out.

[Bug 653134] Re: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10
My experience, for what it's worth: A netbook wubi installation of Kubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 10.04) worked ok, and then broke one day recently (probably after an update). After selecting kubuntu from the Windows XP boot menu, it would momentarily flash the following 3 errors: error: file not found error: file not found error: no suitable mode found and right after that the screen went blank and system stuck - only a cold boot, with holding the power button down for 5 seconds or so, would get it out of this state. Copying the "wubildr" file from C:\ubuntu\winboot to C:\ as suggested above (overwriting an existing wubildr in the root directory) fixed the problem. I don't know if this is a bug in wubi or grub or ubuntu packaging, but a system update that prevents the system from booting is a critical bug, and should be fixed within a couple of days tops from first being reported... not lingering on for weeks or months leaving many users with unusable systems and wasting hours of their time trying to find manual workarounds. Sorry for the rant, but I've suffered another critical bug recently (preventing the mouse from working on a desktop), which has gone unresolved for a couple of months too even though hundreds of reports came in, and probably thousands of affected users have been unable to use their systems.

I installed a fresh 10.10 Maverick using Wubi. Then I went into synaptic and reinstalled grub-pc. This is the diff file from grub.cfg before reinstalling and after. 35,36d34 < insmod vbe < insmod vga 39,59d36 < insmod part_msdos < insmod ntfs < set root='(hd0,msdos2)' < search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 80e4e195e4e18daa < loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk < set root=(loop0) < if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then < set gfxmode=640x480 < load_video < insmod gfxterm < fi < terminal_output gfxterm < insmod part_msdos < insmod ntfs < set root='(hd0,msdos2)' < search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 80e4e195e4e18daa < loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk < set root=(loop0) < set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale < set lang=en < insmod gettext 140,155d116 < } So... this is probably the root cause of the issue. I've been seeing reports on ubuntuforums.org that commenting out the loopback lines (the two in the diff shown above) gets wubi booting. But surely the cause is that all these lines are different between the base install, and reinstalling grub-pc i.e. one of the scripts in /etc/grub.d is being changed from the default install.

Wubi broke on Lucid (but there was a workaround discovered to make it
boot agian) and now again Maverick with no end user workable way to
restore the system to a usable state.
It's still featured in a prominent place on the Ubuntu install web site ("try

contact with Ubuntu/Linux for many people considering migration from Windows.

I can confirm that upgrading from a fresh wubi install of 10.04.1 to 10.10 currently fails to boot after successful completion, both for 32bit and 64bit installs. Only in the 32bit case do I get a grub prompt - in the 64bit case, the machine just reboots after selecting ubuntu from the list of operating systems. I can also confirm that this behaviour is fairly recent, and that a previous upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10 worked in a 64bit wubi environment.

@Colin, So I've been running maverick with the 'fix' (copying the wubildr out of winboot) and made a few changes (not the least of which is moving to Natty). I noticed the "invalid mode" command flashing by since then, but still worked. But then I removed the old maverick kernel, regenerating grub.cfg in the process, and this morning the computer failed to boot again, dropping at the grub prompt. So long story. Basically I've seen other users on the forums whose maverick has been working and then suddenly: grub prompt. Which points to lupin destroying wubildr, even on 10.10 installs. So I change grub-mkimage in lupin to revert back to the last version (just removed those 3 additional modules), ran 'grub-install /dev/sdaY' and... it works again. So, my point is - it's been 3 weeks since release. There have been many affected users on the forums. Is it possible to just revert the lupin change and prevent this problem from reoccurring? Thanks PS clearly my tests are not comprehensive, if you need some additional testing to confirm this on, say, a fresh 10.10 install, let me know.

But obviously this is a pain and will have to be repeated after each kernel update. -- Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653134 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Colin, OK thanks for the info. FYI on the one broken upgrade to 10.10 I updated the wubildr and regenerated grub.cfg but it then gave me a different error: invalid mode. I still think it's worthwhile to put in some sort of workaround to preventing problems for wubi installs to a different partition until a real fix can be delivered e.g. overwriting the MBR.

Yes, you have to update wubildr. The fact that it wasn't updated is why wubi upgrades have often been broken!

[Bug 653134] Re: Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10
@Colin, I don't really understand enough about what you are trying to accomplish... is it that you have to update the wubildr? I ask because I've never seen wubildr updated by a grub-pc update on any wubi install I've had, despite the fact that grub-install has the ability to do this. If the problem is that you need to find /host/wubildr to identify a wubi install, why don't you instead use /host/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr because this is always present on any wubi install - i.e. change /usr/share/lupin-support/grub-mkimage Note if you do need to update wubildr it could always update the /winboot copy if there is no /host/wubildr and then just prompt a user to boot into windows and copy \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr to c:\wubildr. It's a bit cheesy, but it's better than leaving a wubi install broken. The only alternative would be to iterate through all partitions and mount and update any /wubildr it finds - but this might be considered too invasive. -- Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653134 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
