Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub2
grub crashed during 9.10 auto-update after first reboot after installing to a new machine. apparently (faict) because after diffing my+upgrade /etc/default/grub, i clicked "back" and it wanted me to click "forward" instead, as ridiculous as that sounds. since the answer to "do you want file A or file B?" was actually "neither: i want to edit the file to fix it", there may have been a contention at that point that grub failed to check or handle properly. debconf (understandably) sulked a lot when grub crashed. don't know if it also duped 472298, since i haven't rebooted yet. (funnily enough, after a dozen perfect installs on all sorts of different hw, this one has been terrible so far. i'd be willing to bet i can hit well over 25 papercuts from install and initial configuration alone, without. seriously). :/ ProblemType: Package Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 13 02:39:33 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) Package: grub-pc 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-14.48-generic SourcePackage: grub2 Title: package grub-pc 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Uname: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic i686 ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-package i386 -- package grub-pc 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521343 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
