I still disagree: being greeted with an error message right after finishing the installation of a new OS isn't exactly the right way to start, isn't it?
Cosmetic or not, apart from seasoned users who may have seen worse, this ain't going to make a great impression on newcomers to Ubuntu- if anything, it will make it appear a bit like windows, although in the end they might find this reassuring... There also may be more to it, although frankly I'm not sure at this point if it is directly related or not: as I've said above in comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1311247/comments/68 after installing Lubuntu 14.04 on a new SSD I wasn't actually able to boot the installed system, I had indeed to create a separate dedicated /boot partition or else it would never boot. That I wouldn't call cosmetic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311247 Title: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/1311247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
