Comment 2 for bug 1406599

Hi YannUbuntu, thanks for the reply
Here are the answers to your questions:

1) can you reproduce this bug each time you use Boot-Repair ?
Yes, tried 4-5 times all same results except log file was growing even larger when I had to reboot to stop

2) does this happen when you use Boot-Repair from installed session, or live-session (DVD or liveUSB), or both ?
Both

3) can you reproduce with latest Boot-Repair-Disk (it includes a slightly older package of Boot-Repair than the PPA)
I can only run the PPA version from live cd as cannot boot into ubuntu on HD anymore (trying to repair boot)

4) how exactly do you try to kill the process ?
Sudo Kill PID (Killed glade2script, %100 Cpu usage)

5) what is the exact filename of the huge file ? (probably something like /var/log/boot-sav/log/2014-12-30__xxx/boot-repair.log ?)
/var/log/boot-sav/log/2014-12-31__06h51boot-repair43/boot-repair.log

6) what is the contents of this file? (please copy-paste the first 2000 lines into a text file, and attach it to this bug report).
Attached. after the copied text the rest of the original file is blank

7) about how many minutes did it take to reach 2GB ?
abot 5-6 mins but it was growing bigger I had to reboot to stop. Killing PID did not stop it

8) what is the output of the following commands:
sudo parted -l
sudo boot-repair -i
