yeah its pretty clear, that its related to using the statically linked 32bit grub on an amd64 system. i noticed the problem myself on my intrepid amd64. i asked a friend who confirmed, that its broken on his ubuntu amd64 pc and that it actually works on his archlinux amd64 installation.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423273 is quite interesting too because of the comment of the gentoo user... it seems to me that grub got compiled with a wrong or faulty library in debian, ubuntu, fedora and suse (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263262) and that gentoo uses the right version of the library if it is installed by their emul-linux-x86-baselibs package (http://www.gentoo-portage.com/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs) and archlinux is good too. so it seems that this is not directly a grub problem, but a library/packaging problem... thats all i was able to find out, hope it helps to fix it (asap, because grub is ~unusable interactively without it ;) -- autocomplete in grub shell doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282577 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
