I had this problem in 10.04 (see post #13, plus a locked-PC problem). I did a fresh install to 10.10 in November. I no longer have the locked-PC problem, but I still get status 256. It's not a serious problem, just irritating.
However, just recently, I made a USB-stick copy of 10.10, just so that my sister could run Gramps on her MS Windows PC. When I want to boot up using the memory stick, I need to adjust the boot sequence in BIOS. When I remove the stick, then boot to my normal desktop, I don't need to go into BIOS, because it knows that there is no memory stick. - BUT- I then don't get the status 256 message. Does that give any expert a different perspective on the cause of the problem?
