[Bug 439784] Re: Error: Invalid environment block

[Sergio007a]

Ubuntu 12.04

Same here,     Error: Invalid environment block

Press enter, then it will still log to ubuntu.

How it's happen or how to reproduce ?

After shutting down ubuntu 12.04, but without closing or shutting down
firefox before. (With alot of tab open and youtube video).

Get this error, must do the leppick fix. Or shut down firefox before
exiting ubuntu.

Then no more error with next reboot.

Title:
  Error: Invalid environment block

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  grub gave this  error  invalid: environment block when after an unclean shutdown.
  I ended up deleting grubenv and that worked to get me booting again but next time unclean shutdown it boots up and runs fsck? shows some inode stuff and next boot i get the message again.

  Looking at grubenv: it is showing it to be 0 bytes , when this problem
  occurs.

  I also have copied grubenv a read only file from a good computer really has same effect as deleting it.
  Reinstall grub still same problem.

  Running x64 karmic all updates
  In anycase this errormessege while may show there's some bigger issue should not stop me from booting, should it?
