[solved]Grub sed expression error

Hello

i'm having an error when updating grub -it happens with burg too- but im using grub actually)

when i do a update-grub

i get this

Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
  No volume groups found
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1

sed: espressione -e #1, carattere 74: comando `s' non terminato

the last line in english could be

sed:expression -e #1 character 74: command `s' not terminated

Re: [solved]Grub sed expression error

at least is there a way to reset(erasing?) all grub config and generated files and start from zero?

sudo rm -rf /boot/grub

Then, make sure you run update-grub again.

Re: [solved]Grub sed expression error

You have more than one swap-partition on your PC. This confuses my script. Try this instead:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg -s

instead of -s you can use --skip-resume too. All is related to this patch

Re: [solved]Grub sed expression error

update-grub always tries to search for the swap-partition. It seems you have more than one swap. The -s switch only disables that search.  update-grub just calls followed cmd:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Simply edit update-grub and add -s to that line.
