Details

Description: This error is shown for literally a fraction of a second just before Grub is displayed:

error: file `/grub/locale/en.mo.gz` not found

Seems harmless but should be corrected.

Additional info:
* package version(s) extra/grub2-common 1:2.00beta2-2

Steps to reproduce:
Boot a system with grub2 installed. You might need a video camera since the damn thing happens so fast! I have attached a pic of the error on my machine.

Does this error occur with grub2 2.00beta3-1 ?
Comment by John (graysky) - Tuesday, 03 April 2012, 06:29 GMT
Yes, it does... does it not on your system?

Ah, more people see this bug as well:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1077783

This definitively isn't an Arch problem.

No. Not for me, since I manually maintain my grub.cfg . This error occurs only for user using grub-mkconfig generated grub.cfg . But yes, this is not Arch specific.

Nice. Can this be integrated into our package somehow?
Comment by Keshav Amburay (the.ridikulus.rat) - Wednesday, 20 June 2012, 05:28 GMT
The solution to this bug is :

# mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
# cp /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo

I have added this to the wiki.
