When I try to start Parrot in VirtualBox after a fresh import and updating it, the following error appears:
Error: symbol ‘grub_file_filters’ not found
Entering rescue mode …
grub rescue >
Had the same problem -NO HELP ANYWHERE - these forums need to better helped!
I fixed it by mounting this Grub Rescue ISO (https://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ ) to the VM
booted off ISO
it automagically finds the "upgraded’ Parrot boot option, choose it and boot
PArrot will boot normally
open a Term and do the following
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
reboot and ALL Fixed (although I seem to have lost screen resizing on Oracle Box for now)
dont know what you guys doing but i have 5 install. of parrot (3 diff. laptops and 2vm `s) running without any problems.
we have tons of posts her in the forum cause users dont read our docs. or faq. for example:
they are logged in as root
do not flash with etcher
update there systems with apt upgrade
etc … etc
