Comment 29 for bug 1269992

I dont think so ! The problems with the picture is solved.

 Basic is a fresh installed trusty 'Kubuntu'.

 grub-version after installation was 2.00-22

 After the upgrade (activated proposed) grub packages 2.02~beta2-5 I got these:

 * an additional folder 'grub' -> see below
