This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.97+20091130-1ubuntu1 --------------- grub2 (1.97+20091130-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #485457). Remaining changes: + 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; holding down Shift at boot will show it. + debian/templates.in: - Change default value of grub2/linux_cmdline_default to "quiet splash". + debian/config.in, debian/postinst.in, debian/grub-pc.templates.in: - Migrate timeout settings from menu.lst. + 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/control: - Conflict with grub (<< 0.97-54) as well as grub-legacy. + debian/postinst.in: - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf. + debian/patches/03_ubuntu_grub_standards: - Remove GNU/Linux from default string. + debian/patches/10_crashkernel.patch: - Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available. + debian/patches/951_quick_boot.diff: - If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the menu. - 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/patches/952_sleep_shift.diff: - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'. + debian/patches/954_normal_quiet.diff: - Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're actually offering a shell prompt. Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in the first place. + debian/patches/955_really_quiet.diff: - Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the configuration file. + debian/patches/956_linux_quiet.diff: - If the environment variable "quiet" is set to something other than 0, suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load. Set this for non-recovery kernel menu entries. + debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, debian/rules: - Add GRUB_DEFAULT=saved, as well as grub-set-default and grub-reboot utilities. Provides functionality essentially equivalent to GRUB Legacy's savedefault. + debian/patches/959_loopback_root.diff: - Keep the loopback file open so that subsequent changes to the "root" environment variable don't affect it. + debian/patches/961_handle_loopback.diff: - Change prepare_grub_to_access_device to handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images. + debian/patches/963_linux_no_loopmount.diff: - Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux. + debian/patches/965_failed_boot_menu.diff, debian/grub-common.init, debian/grub-common.pm-sleep, debian/grub-common.dirs, debian/rules: - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels. + debian/patches/968_raid_virtio.diff: - Handle RAID devices containing virtio components. * debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff: Fix --version output from grub-reboot and grub-set-default (see LP #480571). * debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff: Cope with /boot being on a separate filesystem (LP: #478035). * debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, 965_failed_boot_menu.diff: Use 'set var=val' rather than plain 'var=val'. * debian/patches/969_format_errors.diff: Fix compilation errors due to gettext work. grub2 (1.97+20091130-1) unstable; urgency=low * New Bazaar snapshot. * Enable ntldr-img from grub-extras. grub2 (1.97+20091125-2) unstable; urgency=low [ Updated translations ] * Bulgarian (bg.po) by Damyan Ivanovi (Closes: #558039) [ Robert Millan ] * control: Remove genisoimage from Build-Depends/Suggests (no longer used). * grub.d/05_debian_theme: Make output string distro-agnostic. [ Felix Zielcke ] * patches/02_fix_mountpoints_in_mkrelpath.diff: New patch to handle mount points like the old shell function did. (Closes: #558042) grub2 (1.97+20091125-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Robert Millan ] * New upstream snapshot. - Fixes script parser load error. * Add gettext to Build-Depends and gettext-base to grub-common's Depends. grub2 (1.97+20091124-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream snapshot. - Fix grub-mkisofs related FTBFS on powerpc. (Closes: #557704) - Create fake GRUB devices for devices not listed in device.map. This also makes dmraid and multipath work as long as search --fs-uuid works. (Closes: #442382, #540549, LP: #392136) - rules: grub-emu is now built as a port. [ Felix Zielcke ] * Change the bt-utf-source build dependency to xfonts-unifont. It's more complete, better maintained and grub-mkfont supports actually more then BDF fonts as input, thanks to libfreetype. * Use grub-probe to get the GRUB device of /boot/grub instead of passing (hd0) to grub-install when creating the core.img with chainloading. This avoids the (UUID=) hack slowness in case /boot/grub is on a different disk then (hd0) in device.map. * patches/903_grub_legacy_0_based_partitions.diff: Update. * Add a build dependency on automake and python. * Set TARGET_CC=$(CC) to really use gcc-4.4 everywhere. Also pass it and CC as arguments to ./configure instead of env vars so they get preserved. * Ship grub-mkrelpath in grub-common. * Ship the locale files in grub-common. * Add a dependency on 'dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info' for grub-common as recommended by Policy and lintian. grub2 (1.97+20091115-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream snapshot. - Fix security problem with password checking. (Closes: #555195) - Fix the generated GNU/Hurd menu entries and also add support for it in 30_os-prober. (Closes: #555188) - Same grub-mkrescue for grub-pc and grub-coreboot, used by grub-rescue-pc during postinst now. (Closes: #501867) [ Felix Zielcke ] * Ship grub-mkisofs in grub-common. * patches/002_grub.d_freebsd.in.diff: Remove (merged upstream). * patches/906_grub_extras.diff: Remove. Superseded by GRUB_CONTRIB variable in recent upstream trunk. * rules: Export GRUB_CONTRIB to enable grub-extras add-ons. * Pass --force to grub-install in the postinst. (Closes: #553415) * Don't strip debug symbols from grub-emu. It's meant for debugging and with them it's much more useful. * Ship grub-mkfloppy in grub-pc. * Revert the Replaces: grub-common to (<= 1.96+20080413-1) on the grub-pc package. It was wrongly modified long ago. [ Robert Millan ] * copyright: Document mkisofs. * control: Update Vcs- fields (moved to Bazaar). * rules: Update debian/legacy/update-grub rule to Bazaar. grub2 (1.97-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Robert Millan ] * patches/905_setup_force.diff: Remove, no longer needed as of grub-installer >= 1.47. * grub.d/05_debian_theme: Attempt to source grub_background.sh from desktop-base (Needed for #495282, #495616, #500134, see also #550984).
