Comment 14 for bug 484499

  Thanks,
Well, yes and no. The issue is that I have an Acer laptop, and since
10.04 the boot is slow. I don't get a nice graphic splash screen, just
1980's blocky text, and seems to take a long time to start up. Searched
around and found this is a common problem for some graphics chip sets,
and tried a few things, some of which involved editing Grub files. So,
that's how the syntax error came about. Grub did work fine though, and
the boot was quicker. Then yesterday I tried the very latest round of
updates, and I lost my grub boot menu entirely, just dropped to grub
shell. After much fiddling, I got back into Ubuntu, completely
uninstalled grub2 and then re-installed. Now everything works ok,
although I can't comment on the boot times, just got it back to working
and went to bed.
I think I'll just try and live with a 2 min boot from now on.

Cheers
Brian
