Title:
  Grub in 10.04.1 Wubi install does not show Linux entry (only shows
  Windows entries)

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I've seen this happen several times now doing Wubi installs of 64bit
  10.04.1.

  out of about 10 installs I did this weekend, only one or two actually
  worked completely, with grub showing both Linux and Windows entries at
  boot time (after selecting Ubuntu from the NT Loader list).

  The remaining times, the Grub menu shows the Windows entries but
  doesn't show any Linux entry, forcing me to drop to a grub shell and
  manually enter the info to boot into Ubuntu 10.04.1.

  FWIW, the grub menu after the first stage of the install (the part
  done inside Windows) shows a version of 1.98-1ubuntu6 in the menu.
  After completing the installation and booting, the menu still says
  1.98-1ubuntu6, but dpkg shows grub-common and grub-pc versions of
  1.98-1ubuntu7.

  I get the following wiht grub-script-check and actually running
  10_linux:
