Problem removing grub-customizer

[lcharles]

I installed grub-customizer and it worked ok for a while. Then I started getting problems, mainly with the menu listings. As a backup I installed another linux dist on my second hard drive so I could boot from there if there were any problems. Then I proceeded to uninstall grub-customizer according to the FAQ listed here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664134

The suggested removal proceedure is item #7 at the end. When I got done and I ran update-grub, I got the following error:

/etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy: 3: /etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy: /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/linux: not found
/etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy: 3: /etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy: /etc/grub.d/bin/grubcfg_proxy: not found

So I don't want to install this version to the MBR until I have cleared up the problem.

As a last note, how do you mark a thread as solved or abandoned or whatever after your done with the problem? I've tried editing and that doesnt seem to work.

Thanks for the info on marking the thread.

In relation to my main problem. I also get a new error when doing an update:

"The following errors occurred while applying changes:

Package: grub-pc
Error: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127"

Please show the output of

dpkg -l | grep grub

We may need to perform some package surgery. Don't worry, it only almost as difficult as rocket surgery.

Sorry, I didn't see your post and got some input from the ubuntu site that (after a bit of adaptation) seems to have worked. A fellow at the Ubuntu sited recommeded running:

sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common
sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup
sudo mkdir /boot/grub
sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
sudo update-grub

Which didn't work. He mentioned however that anything with "proxy" in it must be from grub-customizer, so I edited the contents of the directory /etc/grub.d and moved everything with "proxy" in it to a new folder. Then I ran the commands listed and it seems to have fixed things.

The output of dpkg -l | grep grub is:

larry1204@larry1204:~$ dpkg -l | grep grub
ii grub-common 1.99-21ubuntu3.14 GRand Unified Bootloader (common files)
ii grub-gfxpayload-lists 0.6 GRUB gfxpayload blacklist
ii grub-pc 1.99-21ubuntu3.14 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)
ii grub-pc-bin 1.99-21ubuntu3.14 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS binaries)
ii grub2-common

Which I hope means everything is back to standard intall. Please let me know if there is anything else I should check.

Everything looks good there.
