I'd found an answer for a problem and fixed it in /etc/default/grub, but now when I try sudo update-grub it comes this error: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 1: /etc/default/grub: : not found

This is my grub file:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
# info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=-1
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.alpha_support=1"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs

# GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

Appreciate any and all help.

How exactly did you "fix" the file - in particular, what editor did you use? Is it possible that you introduced DOS-style line endings or other special characters such as a byte order mark?

Please provide OS & release details... they provide clues as to your version of `grub`.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
