When I installed Ubuntu, I chose /dev/sda7 to install the bootloader, when I try to chainload it from my grub, it doesn't work (grub1 says "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format" and grub2 says "Invalid signature), I updated openSUSE grub to include Ubuntu (not chainloading), and now using Ubuntu I can't do "grub-install /dev/sda". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069178 Title: grub-install doesn't work (it says "source_dir doesn't exist") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1069178/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
