    Re: Update and now this "grub gettext not found"

    talking to some people in #grub you can also try this once you get your system booted

    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
    then select whatever device you boot from
    AMD X2 7750 Kuma OC'd to 3.1ghz||ASUS M2N68-AM||4GB OCZ Reaper HPC DDR2||EVGA Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX+||Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 PRO||OCZ MODXSTREAM-PRO 600W||Seagate 1x500GB IDE 2x500GB SATA(RAID1)||Antec Three Hundred||1x140mm 2x120mm Antec Fans|
