http://askubuntu.com – After upgrade to 12.04 my GRUP was broken. I thought that a single problem so I booted from Ubuntu CD, mounted my Ubuntu disk, then grub-install, restarted PC and everything was fine again. But I've noticed that GRUB crashed after every GRUB packages update. I did today 12.10 upgrade and it happen again. Is that GRUB issue or maybe is something wrong with my hardware? I'm using old Maxtor 20GB IDE disk for Ubuntu. (HowTos)

[SOLVED] Two Grubs- Confusing 19 weeks 3 days ago

I have both Precise and Quantal installed on separate partitions on same HDD.

While installing Quantal, in my forgetfulness I let it install Grub. No issues so far. Machine works fine.

However, whenever there is Grub version upgrade on either versions of Ubuntu or if I run update-grub in either the Grub gets replaced by the version where the upgrade or update happened.

Let me be more clear.

There are so many combinations of problems concerning this aspect of the upgrade to 12.04.1 LTS that I thought I had best itemise this one also.

As was expected, after installing the upgrade (online), the first restart, instead of presenting the option to boot to Ubuntu or to Windows, it resulted in

"error : the symbol 'grub'xputs' not found grub rescue> "

Neither 'grub-xput

[ubuntu] Update Grub fails 33 weeks 2 days ago

Hi folks, Have just come back from hols to find large upgrade for QQ and after it was complete update grub gives the following error. Code: sudo update-grubGRUB >= 2.00 has been unpacked but not yet configured. grub-mkconfig will not work until the upgrade is complete. It should run later as part of configuring the new GRUB packages. Can't find anything that tels me how to fix it.

I have a software raid 0 setup with dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. The GRUB bootloader that is already on the hard drive seems to work fine. However, since the latest package update for grub, it refuses to install the new version to the hard disk.

I am a Linux newbie who has tried to update from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (used for 3 years) to 12.04 LTS on my Dell desktop using update manager.

I thought all was working well, even though my HD partition desktop is small (just 20gb) and commentary stated short disk space.

I am now faced with the grub> prompt, what do I do now?

Can I go back to 10.04 or boot via USB?
