Binary package hint: kde
This worked with Breezy but didn't work with Dapper and so far it doesn't work with Edgy.
Description:
When using KDE, you're able to choose, when restarting, which grub item (or which OS) to boot into after the system restarts.
After you set KDE up to be able to do this, you pick the item you want to boot into when you restart and grub would still boot the default item, not the one you chose.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In Kubuntu, open kcontrol (or system settings) and go to "Login Manager".
2. Click on the "Shutdown" tab and change the "Boot Manager" to "Grub".
3. Restart X (or just reboot).
4. Once the system loads, go to the K Menu.
5. Click on "log out" and now the "end session" window opens.
6. You'll notice a small arrow now on the "Restart Computer" button. Give it a long click (don't let go of the left mouse button until a menu opens)
7. Pick anything out of the menu, except for what kubuntu boots into by default.
8. Watch as your system reboots. It will still boot to the default Grub item as stated by your '/boot/grub/menu.lst'.
Desired action:
It should have booted into the OS I chose.
Actual action:
It boots into the default option as if I never told it what to boot into. |
