[Bug 673438] Re: update-grub: cannot restore the original directory

[Chris Crisafulli]

@Yozen, thanks for adding that comment that was exactly what was
happening to me, as I was receiving the same described failure message.
I was attempting to run sudo update-grub from my nfs mounted home at
work. I cd'd into /tmp and re-ran the command and it completed without
any issues.

Title:
  update-grub: cannot restore the original directory

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Release is Ubuntu 10.04.1 All Updates from 10. Nov. 2010

  apt-cache policy grub2

  grub2:
  Installed: (none) 
  Candidate: 1.98-1ubuntu7

  I don`t understand why the display is saying, that grub is not
  installed?!

  What happened:
  I set the GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub and ran the command update-grub sucessfully.
  After a restart I altered the same value to 1 and tried a again to run update-grub with the failure message:
  /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot restore the original directory

  Regards
  Martin
