Hardy Alpha5 doesn't display kernel parameters on F6

[Daniel Patriche]

While booting the Hardy Alpha 5 LiveCD, on the Boot Menu (Where you can Start or Install Ubuntu), pressing F6 will display the box that is supposed to show the kernel parameters, but is in fact empty. The cursor is at the far right of the box, and deleting a character or entering another one will show the string. Also happens while running the image in QEMU.

grub is not the bootloader used on the CDs; reassigning to gfxboot

Yeah, I've noticed this too.

This bug was fixed in the package gfxboot-theme-ubuntu - 0.5.9

gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (0.5.9) hardy; urgency=low

  * Really update for Kurdish default layout change, and shorten Kurdish
    layout description to avoid overflow.
  * No longer consider Japanese a non-Latin keymap; the default variant
    (basic) is Latin.
  * Adjust console-setup/layoutcode and (perhaps) console-setup/variantcode
    when booting with a non-Latin keymap (LP: #200803).
  * Ensure that boot parameters are displayed immediately after pressing F6
    (LP: #198536).
  * Update translations from Launchpad. Among many other things, this
    completes the French translation (LP: #193901).
