Testcase 3: Lucid 10.04.2 on E: drive (ntfs partition /dev/sda3) ============================================= Grub version in wubildr at install 1.98-1ubuntu5 Grub version in Ubuntu at install 1.98-1ubuntu10 debconf-show grub-pc ---> install-devices: <blank>
Test method: Add Proposed to sources, and update grub-pc through synaptic (not running other updates) Expected result: =========== 1. wubildr on /dev/sda2 will be updated (that's C:) 2. grub modules added to /boot/grub 3. /boot/grub/grub.cfg changes as expected with new modules present. 4. No prompt to install grub to /dev/sda Results: ===== 1. wubildr on /dev/sda2 not updated 2. grub modules not added to /boot/grub 3. /boot/grub/grub.cfg not changed 4. There was no prompt to install grub to /dev/sda (grub is now version 1.98-1ubuntu12) Conclusion: ======== This will stop this bug (installing grub to drive MBR). But I expected wubildr to be updated. Maybe my expectation is incorrect, but there is still a distinct difference between wubi installed to the same partition as windows (/host/wubildr exists), and when it doesn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610898 Title: grub-pc upgrade renders computer unbootable when Wubi is installed to partition other than Windows -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
