Testcase 2: Maverick install on windows partition ==================================== Installed Wubi maverick 10.10 on my C: 'drive' (ntfs partition /dev/sda2). Checked "debconf-show grub-pc" beforehand: grub-install devices was blank. Ran most 10.10 standard updates (servers are very busy so couldn't get a bunch of new ones). Added Proposed to the sources. Updated grub-pc and grub-common in Synaptic.
Expected result =========== 1. /wubildr on C: 'drive' (/dev/sda2) would be updated 2. New grub modules placed in /boot/grub 3. Different grub.cfg Results ====== 1. /wubildr on C: 'drive' was updated. debconf-show grub-pc now shows grub-install devices: /dev/loop0 There was no prompt to suggest installing grub2 bootloader (as expected) 3. All grub modules added to /boot/grub 4. grub.cfg was different (matching normal install) Comments: This shows a big difference between Wubi installed on the Windows partition (/host/wubildr exists) and wubi installed on the non-windows partition (no /host/wubildr). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610898 Title: grub-pc upgrade renders computer unbootable when Wubi is installed to partition other than Windows -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
