Title:
  During boot, after grub selection screen, it appears "error: sparse
  file not allowed - Aborted. Press any key to exit."

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After updating Xubuntu 23.10 to version 24.04, during boot, after
  selecting the Xubuntu version from the Grub screen, I get the error:

  "error: sparse file not allowed
  452: out of range pointer: 0x54b42620
  Aborted. Press any key to exit".

  Searching online it seems that this problem is linked to btrfs file
  systems, but I only have Ext4 file systems.

  Some online guides suggest editing the /etc/default/grub file by placing entries
  GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=false
  GRUB_DEFAULT=0

  and then run "update-grub", but this solution didn't work.

  When the error appears, pressing a key will boot the system normally.
