[Bug 1311247] Re: error: malformed file, press any key to continue

[dino99]

and the grub.conf

# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
  set have_grubenv=true
  load_env
fi
....

So there should be something wrong that produce all these ###### into
grubenv. Maybe a font issue or a utf8 issue ? i'm using fr_FR.utf8 on
that system.

Title:
  error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04

  Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
  grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying

  "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"

  Pressing a key allows booting to continue.

  Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
  after having re-installed grub.  I tried this but this did not resolve
  the problem for me.

  synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
