error: file '/grub2/locale/en.mo.gz' not found
Hi,
I replaced the current linux system and installed fedora 17 (x86_64) in my system. After installed fedora 17, when I rebooted my pc, 1. grub does not detect that there is another system - window xp 2. there is an error - "file '/grub2/locale/en.mo.gz' not found" during loading. It should have dual systems in my pc, but for some reasons, grub can not find it. There is no en.mo.gz file under /grub2/locale. Some one please let me know how to solve the above two issues. Thank you so much. |
fresh install of Fedora 17 64
resulting the same problem

The "can not find /grub2/locale/en.mo.gz" is solved.
Thank you so much. After installed 64-bit fedora 17, it can not detect Windows XP. Grub can not handle dual boot. How can I solve this issue? |

The error message disappeared, but now much of my grub menu is gibberish...ie it seems to be using font that doesn't translate into english. There must be a better solution. Cheers, Terry |
I had a similar problem. It turned out that /boot/grub2 had not updated between F16 -> F17. I ran grub2-install /dev/sda, this updated the grub2 directory and updated the locale files.

I will do a bit of homework on grub2-install before I try that. I note there is no man page. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Terry |

I have Fedora 17 installed on /dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 is /boot /dev/sdc2 is /home To reinstall grub2, is it correct to run 'grub2-install /dev/sdc' ? Cheers, Terry |
Yes that will re-write the content of /boot/grub2 and update the MBR on /dev/sdc

Just ignore it I guess, and it may be fixed when I install the next release. Cheers, Terry |
I did notice that uk.mo file is what looks like Russian, en@quot.mo looks like the English version. May be worth looking in /etc/default/grub file to see what locale is set, if any
|
Does anyone have any ideas about how to configure for dual boot?
