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

[cptX]

Maybe this specific issue isn't so critical from a system stability
point of view, but regarding what actually LTS (Long Term Support) in
reality means is more than critical!!! It's not acceptable an LTS system
to not include this kind of bug fixes, especially when a bug is
affecting so many people and for such a long time. I mean what is the
point to characterize a release as LTS if this kind of stuff are not
fixed! How can anybody trust an LTS then? Do we want Ubuntu LTS  and
Linux in general to be considered a trustworthy operating system or not?

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
