This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.96+20090826-3ubuntu1 --------------- grub2 (1.96+20090826-3ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #413151). Remaining changes: + debian/control: - Recommend rather than Suggest os-prober. + debian/default/grub: - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options. - Use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to set "quiet splash" for default items only. These options won't be set in single user mode. - Default to hiding the menu with a three-second timeout. Pressing Escape during this time will show the menu. + debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme: - Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu. + debian/legacy/update-grub: - Apply Ubuntu branding: title, recovery mode, quiet option, and tweak how memtest86+ is displayed. - Use UUIDs where appropriate. + debian/patches/03_ubuntu_grub_standards: - Remove GNU/Linux from default string. + debian/patches/10_crashkernel.patch: - add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile is available (part of the kernel-crashdump spec) * Drop 950_hidden_timeout.diff, merged upstream. * Drop 951_gfxpayload_keep.diff. It doesn't make as much sense as I thought, and it needs better kernel support anyway. * 950_getkeystatus.diff: New patch. Add getkeystatus terminal method, and add a new keystatus command to query it. * 951_quick_boot.diff: New patch: - If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the menu (LP: #411584). - Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape. * debian/default/grub: Adjust defaults to match new quick-boot code. grub2 (1.96+20090826-3) unstable; urgency=low * Add missing quotes in grub-pc.config and *.postinst. grub2 (1.96+20090826-2) unstable; urgency=low * Really use the correct templates in grub-pc.config. ARGS. grub2 (1.96+20090826-1) unstable; urgency=low * New SVN snapshot. * Use the right templates in grub-pc.config. (Closes: #543615) grub2 (1.96+20090825-1) unstable; urgency=low * New SVN snapshot. - Enable gfxterm only if there's a suitable video backend and don't print an error if not. (Closes: #520846) [ Felix Zielcke ] * Copy unicode.pf2 instead of ascii.pf2 to /boot/grub in grub-pc postinst (Closes: #542314). * Update Standards version to 3.8.3. * Use DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU for the generation of the lintian overrides. * Fix calling the grub-pc/postrm_purge_boot_grub template in grub-pc.postinst. * Handle GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT via debconf. Thanks to Martin F. Krafft and Colin Watson for idea and hints. * Use ucfr --force when /etc/default/grub is registered to a grub-* package. * Use #!/bin/sh in *.config and fix a small bashism in grub-pc.config. [ Robert Millan ] * patches/907_terminal_output_workaround.diff: Remove. It seems that it wasn't really necessary. * grub-pc.postinst: Avoid printing an error if /etc/kernel-img.conf doesn't exist, because it is misleading. We simply refrain from fixing it and move along. * grub-pc.postinst: Don't schedule generation of grub.cfg via "grub-install" code path unless we actually run grub-install. * grub-pc.postinst: Only copy unicode.pf2 and moreblue-orbit-grub.png when /boot/grub/grub.cfg is scheduled to be generated. * legacy/upgrade-from-grub-legacy: Reset grub-pc/install_devices. Thanks Colin Watson. (Closes: #541230) grub2 (1.96+20090808-1) unstable; urgency=low * New SVN snapshot. - Fix XFS with inode size different then 256. (Closes: #528761) - Add support for multiple LVM metadata areas. (LP: #408580) - patches/008_dac_palette_width.diff: Remove. (merged) - Prefer unicode over ascii font. (LP: #352034) [ Felix Zielcke ] * Fix the generation of the lintian override for efiemu64.o. * Remove the Conflicts dmsetup. * Use ?= for setting DEB_HOST_ARCH. * Document GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY in /etc/default/grub. (Closes: #476536 LP: #190207) * Add docs/grub.cfg to examples. * patches/01_uuids_and_lvm_dont_play_along_nicely.diff: Updated to also disable UUIDs on LVM over RAID. * Add a debconf prompt to remove all grub2 files from /boot/grub on purge. (Closes: #527068, #470400) * Move the Suggests: os-prober from grub-pc to grub-common. * patches/901_dpkg_version_comparison.diff: Updated. * Update the Replaces on grub-common for the other packages to (<< 1.96+20080831-1). (Closes: #540492) [ Robert Millan ] * Reorganize grub-pc.{config,postinst} logic. The idea being that if there's no trace of GRUB Legacy, the grub-pc/install_devices template will be shown even if this is the first install. * When setting grub-pc/install_devices, obtain input dynamically from grub-mkdevicemap (rather than devices.map). (Closes: #535525) * Add a note to grub-pc/install_devices template that it's also possible to install GRUB to a partition boot record. * patches/002_grub.d_freebsd.in.diff: New patch. Reimplement 10_freebsd.in to handle multiple kernel versions & acpi.ko. -- Colin Watson
