error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found after upgrading o lucid

[karaluh]

Binary package hint: grub

After upgrading to Lucid and reboot grub gives me mentioned error and drops me to grub rescue prompt

[Vlad (badfiles)]

Is there a workaround?

[karaluh (karaluh)]

The only one I know of is to boot using live cd, mount appropriate partitions and reinstall grub.

This bug was probably caused by the problem described in bug 496435, which is now fixed in Lucid.

I received the message "error: the symbol grub_puts_ not found".

The error was received while updating from Ubuntu 9.10 to the new version 10.04 during the final stages of alpha.

I don't know whether I have placed this information in the correct place but it would appear the bug hasn't been completely fixed.

Maybe I installed something wrong somewhere, I'm searching Google now for a possible fix to the issue for my computer, but I thought I should at least mention this somewhere :)

Again, sorry if this has been posted in the wrong place.

This is the best fix I found after an hour on Google

I was dual-booting 9.10 with Windows 7 and it was giving me the grub_puts_ error after upgrading to 10.04. Luckily I found this side that had a 3 line command fix. Used my 9.10 disk for it and worked like a charm. I love the Linux community!

I got fried by this same bug.

Thanks for doing the legwork.
