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

[nonsisa]

I have solved this issue with a variation of the method of comment #79

First you do it exactly as in 79. then after reboot you set back
GRUB_DEFAULT=0 and update-grub. After a reboot everything should work
again.

As a side note these are the things that will keep ppl away from using
ubuntu. Errors after updates, or installing propriety drivers failed
installings etc. that screw up the system. Enough said.

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

Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
  Unknown
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
