Hello,
today I did a "pacman -Syu", grub was updated ( replaced by core/grub )
the update was ok, no problem,
but I notice now a quick error message during the boot process :
error: file '/boot/grub/locale/fr.gmo' not found
then the boot menu is displayed and I can boot arch linux without problem,
when I check the directory /boot/grub/locale/ I see no files, that's why I have this error message,
I use the MBR for booting grub and I have a pentium 4 laptop,
I try to reinstall grub :
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
but I still have the same error message on boot,
the wiki says that "grub.mo" file is in /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/ but I see no "grub.mo", no "fr.mo" in this directory, so I can not copy these files to /boot/grub/locale/,
so I think there is a bug in grub package, missing "*.mo" files, because before this update I never had this error message

You think I must create a bug report ?

The bug report will get your observation into the hands of the packager who might otherwise miss it if he/she didn't read your thread.

You can do like this and error goes away
cp /usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/mit-krb5.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.gmo

@Potomac: Did the error message go away yet?
I'm still having a similar error message.

It depends your locale setup : see /etc/grub.d/00_header
The simplest workaround might be to add
LANG=C
to /etc/default/grub before generating grub.cfg.

It was a new install from archlinux-2013.11.01-dual.iso:
archlinux-2013_11_01-dual_iso/arch/pkglist.i686.txt
core/grub-2.00.5086-1

Then request a reopen; no need to post here.

Sure there is. I found this thread by searching for a solution. New problems should be documented in forums, not only bug trackers. I already chatted with phcoder and supposedly it's being handled upstream; commit id: 6cd660435ec32266db31e2fe65fbc3997379cbd2

you probably forgot to finish the installation of grub,
you must type some instructions in the console like "grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX" ( where X is the partition where grub is installed ), read the wiki :

no no no no, This was a bug due to lack of .mo files in /boot/grub/locale
maybe copyn one of the grub.mo files there whit the correct name can fix the problem
Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?

Read up-thread. I didn't forget anything and there's no need to read the wiki. These were two fresh installs on two different systems using the most current arch install discs. There was no previous installation to upgrade from and I didn't forget to add the --recheck option either. My previous post stands...grub is simply looking for a file that doesn't exist. Both systems I installed on have the same modules listed:
I'd rather not hack around the problem, since it still boots normally. I'll wait for upstream to correct this bug.

This bug has been corrected in upstream -git repo http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.g … 997379cbd2 . If you want you can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub-git/ .

I still have this error, does I need a specific package?
