[Bug 1311247] Re: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

[Rajat Pandita]

Here is what I did
Just like Bertram (bertram-q) ..

1) edit the file

/etc/default/grub
replace 
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
With 
GRUB_DEFAULT=1

2) sudo update-grub
3) Reboot

Issue fixed.

Thanks .
I hope more people are able to use this fix and get over with this annoying bug.

Title:
  [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04

  Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
  grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying

  "error: malformed file, press any key to continue"

  Pressing a key allows booting to continue.

  Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
  after having re-installed grub.  I tried this but this did not resolve
  the problem for me.

  synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
