Identical mistake as Ahmed. And yet, how to cure it?

grub fails to build with the following error:

@ridikulus_rat
almost fine, but always found only one initrd: /boot/initramfs-linux.img, but I have 4: /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img, and /boot/initramfs-linux-pf(-fallback).img

@walkindude: Try the updated pkg (both 10_archlinux and 60_memtest86+).

why so many entries now (have only linux and linux-pf kernels)?

@fstirlitz: Can you post your patch at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37904 ?

Upstream has created a GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU config setting. I updated the archlinux_grub_mkconfig_fixes.patch to respect it.

https://gist.github.com/fstirlitz/7639129

Upstream has migrated from BZR to GIT ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2013-10/msg00133.html ). I have uploaded https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-git/ .

@buhman: I plan to maintain grub-git myself.

At the end of your PKGBUILD,

sed "s|^\(_UEFI_ARCH\)=.*|\1=${_UEFI_ARCH}|g" -i "${startdir}/{_pkgname}.install"

I think you meant __pkgname, not _pkgname, because you didn't include grub-efi-${_UEFI_ARCH}-bzr.install, only grub-efi-bzr.install

Thanks.

@sausageandeggs: I have never used themes with grub2 and never used burg at all. You have to ask the grub2 devs on how to use burg themes.

I was using Burg but following your suggestion to move to this package does it support theming in the same way as Burg does/did? If so can old Burg themes be modded and used? (I'm guessing it's not a drop in replacement)
Apologies if this is a silly question.

Seems like this specific changeset came with rev 3714. Maybe this changelog will be helpful to you:

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/trunk/grub/revision/3714

Patching errors with revision 3732.

First one is minor: grub2_automake_1.11.2_pkglib_to_pkgdata.patch fails on patching ChangeLog.
Second one seems more important: archlinux_grub2_mkconfig_fixes.patch fails with first hook on util/grub-mkconfig.in. The problem is that it matches against grub_mkdevicemap definition, which is no longer there. I don't know if it's removed or moved somewhere else (didn't found it, not under this name at least), so I'm unable to propose a fix. Hope you'll make it soon :)

@kurisutian: You might have to use http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/grub/people/janc/lzo/changes branch . Better to ask in #grub in irc.freenode.net.

@skodabenz: Is it possible to add those patches so people using lzo compression would get a running version of grub2? If not, where can I find them? Thanks! :-)

@kurisutian: May be Ubuntu patches its grub2 package with lzo-btrfs patches. As of now, those patches have not been merged into bzr trunk or experimental branch.

Does this version support booting from lzo compressed btrfs partitions yet? The grub2 package doesn't so right now I had to install ubuntu's current grub2 which amazingly does boot from lzo btrfs partitions.... I wonder what they do different...

thanks. I thought the bzr protocol would be faulty.

http is worse, it will download the entire .bzr dir even if there is only a one-line change in the source (does not use diffs). I guess bzr smart server in savannah is not working like before. Use the launchpad mirrors of bzr repo instead. Uncomment

# _bzrtrunk="lp:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

stuff in the PKGBUILD. The launchpad mirrors syncs once every 6 hours.

you needn't change anything else. Bzr works also with http. Grub even mention this method:
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-download.en.html

I found the problem:
the bzr protocol isn't good. Use http:
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/branches/experimental/
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub/
instead
bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/grub/branches/experimental/
bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub/

I always get the error after a certain time downloading:
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

Broken again.

rm -r "${srcdir}/${_bzrmod}_build" || true
Broke the script for me, had to comment the line.

cp -r "${srcdir}/${_bzrmod} ${srcdir}/${_bzrmod}_build"
should be
cp -r "${srcdir}/${_bzrmod}" "${srcdir}/${_bzrmod}_build"

@kurisutian: Patch updated. Next time please post it in pastebin.com and not inline in comments. I had to manually make the changes and re-create the patch.

Also the new version with the fix that allows to boot from btrfs should be available within the next few minutes according to phcoder. Je just needs to review the changes and will merge it to the trunk!

Can you update the version. Also I talked to one of the grub2 developers and her said that the archlinux_grub2_mkconfig_fixes.patch should look something like that:

grub2 bzr mainline/trunk rev 3210 onwards BTRFS is supported. No need for butter branch.

I did totally miss that option.... sorry.... ^^

@kurisutian: For that use bzr experimental branch. Uncomment '# pkgname=grub2-bios-bzr-exp' in the PKGBUILD and makepkg will build the experimental branch, which contain btrfs plus other fixes which are not yet committed in to bzr mainline/trunk. Note that btrfs booting is still considered experimental and use it with caution. Please report any issues to bug-grub or grub-devel mailing list, not here. I don't use btrfs so i cant help you there.

Thank you.... it worked right away..... unfortunately it does not have btrfs booting capabilities... would it be possible to include those from here: http://bzr.sv.gnu.org/r/grub/branches/butter/

I'm not to good with the PKGBUILD creation otherwise I would have adjusted it myself. ;-)
Thank you!

Ok found the issue. Delete /home/christian/tmp/grub2-bios-bzr/ and use the new PKGBUILD. Thanks for reporting.

I still get the same error as before using makepkg.
'/home/christian/tmp/grub2-bios-bzr/src/grub2_build/autogen.sh' seems to be wrong since the autogen.sh script is in `/home/christian/tmp/grub2-bios-bzr/src/grub/autogen.sh'.
But even when changing that path there are several other issues appearing....

It doesn't compile.... got the following error right away:

cp: cannot stat `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-christian/aur-grub2-bios-bzr/src/grub2_build/autogen.sh': No such file or directory

Seems like several things have changed with the paths.

# loop-AES arranges things so that /dev/loop/X can be our root device, but

@ungraven: For any package to be built by makepkg, base-devel is assumed to be installed (see the comment by falconindy) and therefore base-devel is not explicitly mentioned as make-depends. Also 'patch' is a part of base-devel.

As for the patch, I copied it from the official grub2-common package (the 1.99~rc1 package) which was actually taken from grub2-bzr (so the credit should go to grub2-bzr maintainer). Since upstream development is in a constant flux, the patch may have diverged. The hunk error is not a fault of bzr repo, rather its our fault in not rebasing the patch to the current bzr revision. I am busy right now with exams so i may not update the patch until my exams finish. If you can provide an updated patch, it would be most helpful.

Till then just disable applying the patch if you are not a user of grub-mkconfig (to create /boot/grub/grub.cfg) . The liblzma error might occur if you built this package with xz 4.x but later upgraded xz to 5.x .

To replace sha256sums with md5sums, just replace 'sha256sums=' with 'md5sums=' in the PKGBUILD and re-run 'makepkg -g' . It will generate md5sums instead of sha256sums then.

Couple of other pointers. Build this in chroot from arch installer so it links correctly against xz or else grub-installer won't work (liblzma error).
Hopefully we can get the patch updated. Copying that sha256sum into my PKGBUILD was annoying.
I will let know if it works.

It was the archlinux_grub2_mkconfig_fixes.patch causing the problem. Perhaps that's obvious to some, but wasn't for me at first. I removed the hunk @line 31. It didn't look necessary anymore as upstreams had changed and I assume been improved.
Additionally autoreconf and alocal etc is required which is in base-devel, so really base-devel should be a makedepends imo.

Finally, after a couple of days it now built.

Even after about 10 attempts I still couldn't get this to build. I kept getting "Hunk #1 FAILED at 31. 1 out of 5 hunks FAILED..." errors. The grub2-bzr package fails with the same error though so I can only assume it's the fault of the bzr repo? I don't know, but it'd be nice if someone could figure it out :)

This is very much a pain to build from the current Arch installer (fresh btrfs install). For example following this guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_on_Btrfs_root
Off the top of my head:
Don't over-write xz-utils with xz when it askes (this is the xz on the installer media and will break pacman if done).
Needs "patch" in makedepends I think, or at least, patch installed.

Done. Left 'autogen' just in case. grub2-efi-bzr also corrected.

makedepends are a bit overpopulated:

bison, autoconf, automake, flex are all satisifed by the implicit base-devel requirement.

binutils is a dependency of gcc, which is part of base-devel.

dont use any proxy either, but while reading the links you provided i just thought id try it again and now it worked.. i guess there was some trouble at the launchpad-end.
Thank you for your work on the package!

Must be some problem with launchpad, use the official location (but updating the bzr repo from the official location is a pain). I personally use the launchpad mirrors. I use bzr for grub2 only (since the upstream uses it). Otherwise I would prefer git. BZR has many network related problems.

Check this out

https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+bug/607895
http://old.nabble.com/Unable-to-pull-bzr.dev-td22023331.html

May be due to http proxy (I don't use any proxy) - http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/LLXmLCgzgvXAUDqQuyDA .

Cant seem to build it, getting a bazaar error:
==> Determining latest bzr revision...
bzr: ERROR: Connection error: while sending POST /bazaar/: [Errno 0] Error

never worked with bazaar so i dont really know how to proceed..
edit:
just tested to checkout (branch) the official version from bzr.savannah.gnu.org which worked fine (just to make sure theres no problems with the bzr-installation or internet connection on my side).

in addition to my earlier comment

"An example config file is available at /boot/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr/grub.cfg.example."

is not correct. I do see a grub.cfg.example in /etc/grub.d/ however

the install scrip is not very clear:
it states:

cd /usr/lib/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr/x86_64-efi/

sudo cp lua.mod zfs.mod zfsinfo.mod <EFI_SYSTEM_PARTITION>/efi/grub2/
sudo cp unifont.pf2 ascii.pf2 <EFI_SYSTEM_PARTITION>/efi/grub2/

but there is no grub2 folder, only grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr . Also unifont.pf2 ascii.pf do not exist in /usr/lib/grub2_efi_x86_64_bzr/x86_64-efi/

autogen is already in makedepends. Also python2 (not python 3) is needed.

Hi :) Thanks for you package. I found out that "autogen" is another makedependancy, you might want to add it :)

This is a dummy package. Please edit the PKGBUILD and uncomment the appropriate pkgname as per your UEFI arch and the grub2 bzr branch you want to compile.
