I'm running into this too on my most recent F29 prerelease remixes. :( Based on this from program log: 10:34:02,194 INF program: error: ../grub-core/script/lexer.c:337:$. 10:34:02,194 INF program: error: ../grub-core/script/lexer.c:337:syntax error. 10:34:02,194 INF program: error: ../grub-core/script/lexer.c:337:Incorrect command. 10:34:02,195 INF program: error: ../grub-core/script/lexer.c:337:syntax error. 10:34:02,195 INF program: Syntax error at line 79 10:34:02,195 INF program: Syntax errors are detected in generated GRUB config file. 10:34:02,196 INF program: Ensure that there are no errors in /etc/default/grub 10:34:02,196 INF program: and /etc/grub.d/* files or please file a bug report with 10:34:02,197 INF program: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new file attached. 10:34:02,197 DBG program: Return code: 1 This looks like a grub2 issue in scripts. Switching components. Turns out I had a few outdated packages in my local repo... that I had put there... because they hadn't hit updates testing or stable yet. Getting rid of those, I'm not having the problem anymore. |
