I successfully tested this patch. Here is what I did : - enabled proposed repository - ran the following command-line (it might not be the same on different hardware) : sudo apt-get install grub-pc On my computer (no UEFI), it upgraded the following packages : grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common - disabled proposed repository - rebooted the computer (and pray ;-) ) : no error message - rebooted the computer more than 20 more times (with some cold reboots, with and without displaying the grub menu, and after playing with memtest86, too) : no error message - checked that the version displayed in the grub menu is 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.4
So I'd say it really fixed the issue for me, with no side effect. I don't know what happened in bug 1507175 , but I did not have this issue. I'm not sure if I should replace the verification-failed tag, but I'll add a verification-done one. As grub is a very critical piece of software, I would be more confident if some other persons confirm it's working for them too. NB : I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.3 (64bit) on an Asus Eee PC 1015PX ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311247 Title: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/1311247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
