Binary package hint: grub2
When dist-upgrading a usb-creator USB system, grub gives very bad advice about where to install the updated grub, and then fails when the USB partitions are specified.
SRU justification:
Impact: Significant confusion. It's (probably) possible to get this upgrade to do the right thing, but it's certainly not obvious.
Development branch: Fixed in grub2 1.99~rc1-1ubuntu1 with a pair of fixes, both straightforwardly backportable:
* If we're upgrading and /boot/grub/core.img doesn't exist, then don't ask
where to install GRUB, since it probably means we're in some kind of
specialised environment such as a live USB stick (LP: #591202).
* Drop the default priority of grub2/linux_cmdline to medium. We only
need to ask it if we're upgrading from GRUB Legacy and found an empty
kopt in menu.lst (LP: #591202).
Patch:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/lucid/grub2/lucid/revision/1981?compare_revid=1978
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/maverick/grub2/maverick/revision/2050?compare_revid=2047
TEST CASE: Create a live USB stick from 10.04.1 or 10.10 as released. Upgrade the grub-pc package to the current version. The version currently in lucid-updates (1.98-1ubuntu9) and the version currently in maverick-updates (1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3) should ask confusing questions as described in the original report; the new version should install noninteractively, should not generate /boot/grub/core.img, and should not affect the system's current boot loader arrangements.
Regression potential: It would be worth testing normal system upgrades (not on a live USB stick) to ensure that they still work properly. In particular, the timestamp of /boot/grub/core.img should be updated when upgrading the grub-pc package. |
