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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.02~beta2-21

---------------
grub2 (2.02~beta2-21) unstable; urgency=medium


  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * Fix overlap check in check_blocklists for load_env (backported patch
    from upstream commit 1f6af2a9; LP: #1311247).

  [ Steve McIntyre ]
  * Add support for running a 64-bit Linux kernel on a 32-bit EFI (closes:
    #775202).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Use mtmsr rather than mtmsrd in ppc64el-disable-vsx.patch, since the
    "VSX Available" bit is in the lower half of the MSR anyway, and mtmsrd
    faults on 32-bit systems (closes: #776400).

Title:
  [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
