After purging an old hard drive, I formatted it and installed Trisquel 7. All
went OK until I ran Software Updater. At the conclusion of the update, the
system asked me whether I wanted to install the system's version of grub or
my own. Not knowing any better and being forced to guess, I chose to use the
version of grub that was already in place, i.e., my own. After some more
hassles and guesses, I found that the update would proceed only if I chose
the internal HDD's version of grub, not the USB HDD, which the updater
wouldn't accept.
Now that the system will boot up with either HDD's version of Trisquel, I
find that I cannot unify the grub passwords between the two HDD's. Whichever
grub I change to force the unified password, the results of sudo update-grub2
are the same:
On the new USB HDD:
>> sudo update-grub2
>> Generating grub configuration file ...
>> /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD: 11: /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD: 00_header: not found
On the Internal HDD:
>> sudo update-grub2
>> Generating grub configuration file ...
>> /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD: 11: /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD: 00_header: not found
And grub will only accept the original password from each instance, not the
unified password, even when I comment out the password file altogether, which
ordinarily would cause grub to work without any password.
A search in the Trisquel forum on "00_header: not found" returns nothing.
The file, "01_header" is still present in both /etc/grub.d folders, of
course. It's just that each grub2 update is looking in the wrong place. Where
might that place be, and how can I reinstall grub to fix this ?
