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

[ajgreeny]

I have just started seeing this problem on a newly installed Xubuntu 32bit 14.04 on a netbook (Atom cpu, 1GBram, Intel integrated gpu).
It coincided with me enabling hibernation by adding the file as shown in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219403, but that may be pure coincidence as the error occurs from cold boot and wake from hibernation.  I have always pressed a key to continue and don't know if it will continue even if I dont.
I have added the line GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true to /etc/default/grub as suggested at post #30 and will report back results after many reboots or wakes from hibernation.

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
