Comment 258 for bug 1289977

Even though it might not be a bug in grub, it's a bug in Ubiquity (which installs Grub the wrong way) or Ubuntu's updater (which updates Grub in a wrong way). Most users have these problems because Grub was automatically installed and upgraded, they had not configured it by hand. So closing the bug is no solution...

I guess it's normal these days for Ubuntu. Even critical bugs which breaks the user's system aren't fixed although the bug was reported on a beta 2 releases before. I have also seen this attitude in many other bug reports. Canonical only care's for Ubuntu mobile. I can only recommend to use and rest on LTS or switch to other user friendly distributions, which care more. It's the said reality, but we should face it. Its only getting worse...
