I think this was almost certainly down to the problem I fixed in bug
742967 for Natty (and will backport to Lucid and Maverick shortly),
possibly along with contributions from bug 610898 and bug 695290. I'll
@elliot, locking grub-pc and grub-common works to prevent boot problems caused
by updating those packages. e.g. on a fresh install of Wubi. If you've already
updated grub-pc or upgraded to 10.10, then the /boot/grub directory contains
all the grub modules - and that results in the buggy grub.cfg
bcbc and others have advised using synaptics to lock grup-pc and
grub-common. I did this - they are still locked (checked after I got back in)
but the loadfont problem happened again after my update this morning.
Luckily I have Live Cd and the instructions to comment out the lines but why,

Title:
Can't boot Ubuntu after an upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.10
--
This is getting worse before it's (hopefully) getting better. Today, the
same problem happened again, but not during an upgrade from Lucid to
Maverick, but during a regular update of Lucid to the latest Lucid
kernel.
I noticed that there was an update to grub-pc the other day (current
version of g
The reason these extra files get placed in /boot/grub is that grub-
install is called to update the wubildr file, and grub-install calls
grub-install.real (for wubi) and that copies the files (in the following
code grubdir is /boot/grub and pkglibdir is /usr/lib/grub//):
for file in ${pkglibdir}/*
My experience, for what it's worth:
A netbook wubi installation of Kubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 10.04)
worked ok, and then broke one day recently (probably after an update).
After selecting kubuntu from the Windows XP boot menu, it would
momentarily flash the following 3 errors:
error: file not f
OK I have the permanent fix for 10.10 Probably works on 10.04.1 too.
First back up /boot/grub
sudo cp -r /boot/grub /boot/grubbackup
Then delete all the stuff in /boot/grub that isn't supposed to be there
(everything added after fresh wubi install)
cd /boot/grub
sudo rm *.mod
sudo rm *.img
This is the full diff of a new wubi 10.10 install before and after
reinstalling grub-pc

Updated to the latest Maverick kernel => grub prompt on reboot.
So... conclusion. Updating grub-pc on a wubi install breaks wubi. I will
now do a reinstall and diff the entire installation to see what else
changes.

Actually there were no differences in /etc/grub.d
There were a lot of differences in /boot/grub (all the .mod files aren't there
on a default wubi install, but are added when reinstalling grub-pc).

@Colin,
I can't break a fresh wubi 10.10 install using the above method (grub-install

Yes, you have to update wubildr. The fact that it wasn't updated is why
wubi upgrades have often been broken!
Updating /host/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr would be useless since that's not
what actually gets used. It's a temporary file which is only left
around by mistake.

I don't really understand enough about what you are trying to accomplish... is

@bcbc: we'll have to release-note that you simply can't upgrade if wubi

@Colin, what about the 10.04.1 users having the same problem? Is the fix
to run "grub-install /dev/sdaY" to update the wubildr? If that is the
case, how do you fix it if the wubi is installed to a partition other
than windows. At the moment I am giving them the workaround but no fix.
Please advise
