Ubuntu :: Error: The Symbol 'grub_puts' Not Found?
Jan 18, 2010
About 1 week ago, one of my PC's Hard Drives had stopped working. Because of that, I replaced the HD with a 2-set of Hard Disks from a earlier PC (whose Pentium 4 CPU failed). Because of a failed attempt in dual-booting with M$ WINDOW$, the MBR and Linux are separated between the hard drives. The computer booted up fine on first try (and even got into KDE), but it's internet didn't work (didn't even show eth0 on ifconfig). I decided to install some software via my old 8.04 LiveCD (I can't afford to format that PC for I have critical data on it, 0 DVDs, and no Flash drive), mounting it then chrooting it remembering to mount dev/pts sys and proc. Because the system was something old (Debian Squeeze from ~1 month ago), It had a kernel and GRUB upgrades which I missed among the ~600 others. Naturally, it failed to upgrade because of the missing /dev. Finally, I restarted my computer hoping for a upgraded PC with the programs. However, I instead got this:

I am running Ubuntu both native and on virtualbox on windows XP host. The problem apeared when upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. System boots perfectly WinXP and Ubuntu. But the problem appears when I try to boot linux on virtual box. Following is the grub error:
GRUB loading.
error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found
grub rescue> _
I've tried to boot from alternate CD and "update-grub2" but the problem still appears.
On my office Notebook (which is absolutely the same HP nc6320) I've installed ubuntu 10.04 from scratch and it is working.

error: the symbol grub_xputs not found. grub rescue>
So I get a grub rescue prompt.What do I do now?

initially installed UNR 10.10 on a separate partition of my Acer One Netbook (Win XP) with a dual boot. An initial problem with the location of the Boot loader I had a setup which I was slowly getting used to. Last weekend I was given the option to update to the new 11.04 version. I accepted the offer and let the update system do it's job overnight, final booting into UNR 11.04 after about 18 hours.
The first job was to get into the basic desktop as I do not find Unity very helpful and on a netbook it takes up too much space. Once I the update was completed and my desktop was setup I needed to shutdown in order to do some work which required booting to Windows XP. I did not use Ubuntu again until this morning when I got to the office booted my computer up and was faced with the message,
error: symbol not found: 'grub_env_export'
grub rescue>
As a new user the message meant very little to me although clearly there was a GRUB bootloader problem. I did think that perhaps the words 'grub rescue' implied there was some simple command which would restore the boot loader but a search of the internet and Ubunti Forums showed not only that the solution was less than trivial for a newbie like myself, but that I was also not alone in having problems with the 11.04 upgrade. That was a very disappointing discovery as I had been impressed with UNR 10.10 despite a few issues with networking, printers and one invisible partition!
I used a bootable USB version of 10.10 to have a look at the problems and I tried to follow the instructions but I find it very confusing to know which partitions are which and what is the 'normal' system disk or where the boot loader resides. With my working UNR 10.10 version the internal partitions were /dev/sdaX whereas with the Bootable USB system they are sdbX so which do I use sda or sdb? I could mount the partitions with the disk utility but then when it came to following the instructions to mount the critical virtual file systems I had errors saying no such mount point which completely flummoxed me.
I eventually solved the problem by using Paragon Rescue Kit to restore the WinXP boot loader, but that means I can not boot into LINUX of course. I do find that LINUX does have a lot of 'hard to understand' command line instructions despite the fact that I started working with computers many years ago (IBM 360/44s!) since then I have worked with numerous operating systems including CP/M, MS-DOS, VMS, UNIX before having my IT brain scrambled by numerous flavours of W-----s! I had hoped to slowly move over to LINUX but this episode has been very disappointing.In order to get my UNR 11.04 system working again I guess I have two options,
1)I could use the UNR10.10 Bootable USB key to re-install the GRUB Loader, or
2)I can Download UNR 11.04 and make another bootable USB with 11.04 and then use that to install the latest 11.04 update.

I have a Windows Vista-Ubuntu 11.04 dual-boot. However, I have lost the ability to boot Windows Vista. I can select Windows in the GRUB menu, but GRUB says
Quote:

I have repeatedly searched Google for any help, but have found nothing that applies to my situation. I need Windows because I have an iPod Touch with a tethered jailbreak and can't use it right now.

after upgrading 10.10 to Natty 11.04 my Kubuntu 64-bit System won't boot anymore. During upgrade an error message appears, saying GRUB2 cannot be installed into a partition (something about bad idea and blocklist). First reboot shows this error message:
Code:
Error: symbol not found: 'grub_env_export'
I tried to repair GRUB2 by using a Live CD, mounting all needed partitions, chroot to my installed system and running update-grub2. This time no error message appears. Next reboot the system does hang, showing "Booting..." for minutes. Nothing happens.I'm using a partition boot loader (for Linux) since years on my Netbook / Notebook. Due to security reasons all partitions of the mobile device were encrypted. Unfortunately I also need an Windows system, so the first partition contains an Win 7 installation encrypted with Truecrypt.
Truecrypt needs to be installed into the MBR (as far as I do know and from my first tests some times ago). So I installed the Linux bootloader into the /boot partition (sda6).
Linux root partition is also encrypted using cryptsetup/Luks.How can I fix this problem, keep my Truecrypt/Windows system and boot the encrypted Linux system?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and everything was working fine. I also have Win XP installed and Ubuntu 9.10.I was able to boot any of these OS's with no problem.Without understanding the ramifications of my actions, I enlarged the Windows partition to incorporate the unallocated space at the beginning of my disk using Easeus Partition Master from within my Windows OS. Apparently, I wiped out my grub!I have been able to boot to my 2.6.31-14 kernel (Ubuntu 10.04) using commands from the grub rescue prompt.Upon successful boot into the system, I initiated the command: sudo update-grub and my system still reports Error: the symbol 'grub getcharwidth' not found.Here is my grub.cfg:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub[code]....
I know I must be close to resolution.

I just did an upgrade of 9.10 amd64 system to 10.04. I'm pretty sure I messed up the grub2 upgrade.
When I try to start normally, I get an error like this:
Quote:
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
Entering rescue mode...
Error: the symbol 'grub_puts' not found
grub rescue> _
I currently have 3 HD's on the system, all identical, with two of them in a software RAID.
Now, I *can* boot into 10.04 - by pressing F8 on startup, I can select the second of the three HDs, and it will start up normally.
When I do start up, everything seems to work fine, but whenever I reboot, I get the same grub error, and have to manually hit F8 and select the second drive.

ive made a slight mistake on my Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I was trying to get Voodoo Motion Tracking software to work, and it was having trouble locating some Qt Libs, so I decided it was a good idea to move its included libs into /user/lib32 directory. Voodoo now works, but Skype instead comes up with:
Code:
skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv Skype was installed using their own provided 64bit .deb - it was previously working fine.

The most recent update impacted my thunderbird-3.0. When launched I get these error messages
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.3pre/thunderbird-bin: Symbol `SSL_ImplementedCiphers' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.3pre/thunderbird-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d: undefined symbol: PL_ClearArenaPool
I can only assume the libnssutil3 library was upgraded and this broke the library call in the thunderbird-3.0.

Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.

Saturday June 5, completely stable Ubuntu 9.2 system. Shut the system down cleanly and went on vacation for a week. Came home yesterday, booted the system, and it was running very slowly. I see at the bottom the Update Manager was open, and it had several updates available. Rebooted system and it immediately goes to a console with the error:
GRUB LOADING
error: the symbol 'grub_device_open' not found
grub rescue>
I have researched some about the grub rescue console, and it appears there are a lot of commands that do not work, such as ls. A 'set' tells me the following:
prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
root=hd0,1
I'm at a loss as to where to go from here to get back into Ubuntu.

I noticed that a lot of software updates were ready today so I installed all of them without thinking to make a note of what they were, so I don't know if ffmpeg or one of its dependencies was amongst them. The very next time I ran ffmpeg, it gave me an error I haven't seen before. After downloading a file from BBC's iPlayer site using get-iplayer, I ran a script to convert it to a format suitable for my Samsung YP-Q2 personal media player. I copied the command out of that script and pasted it onto the command line so that I could capture the console output of that encoding session, shown below:
Code:
[garry tv]$ ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp4 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1024k -r 15 -s qvga outputfile.avi

This error, "undefined symbol" is what makes me think that either ffmpeg or one of its dependencies has been updated or the error would have occurred before now. I've been using the script with the command in the above form for some weeks now with no problems, almost always converting an MP4 (but sometimes a .mov) into an AVI. Thinking that it might be the version of ffmpeg in the standard repos, I followed the advice of this thread and removed the standard ffmpeg and installed the one from Medibuntu. (Removing the standard one took WinFF and DVDRip with it, but I reinstalled those afterwards, and I'm sure they don't come into the equation otherwise.) I re-ran the command and the error was exactly as before. Is ffmpeg recently borked or am I missing something obvious? Or something obscure, for that matter?

Linux Mint Debian Edition x64 is installed and running quite nicely. But as most 64bit users know, you have to take care of the 32bit libraries in order to run alot of software....well, only if you need to run 32bit software.
So, in practice, the first steps are to install ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk. That's the foundation. But sometimes that isn't enough....so, depending on your application, you have to discover it's dependencies....via 'ldd'.
For whichever libraries are required, I head over to the Debian 'testing' respository (which LMDE is based off) and search. So after satisfying the dependencies it should be good....take the following as example:
Code:
xxx@xxx ~/Floola $ ldd Floola
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf772b000)
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xf732e000)
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xf7293000)
code....
However, when trying to run the program the following error occurs:
Code:
xxx@xxx ~/Floola $ ./Floola
./Floola: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_date_time_unref
So from some research, this indicates an issue with a date stamp/version conflict...if this is incorrect, ...this is part of the learning process.
Anyway, this error occurs with other 32bit software i'm trying to run.
The strange thing, though, is that i've done a fresh install of LMDE and ran the same process of setting up the 32bit libs as I did before....but this time I get this error.
