Thanks for your report.

Please attach the file /etc/default/grub to this report.
Did you modify it by hand ?
Please also provide the output of the command:
$ debconf-show grub-pc

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the file.

There is a missing " at the end of line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="
it should be
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

I'm setting the status to triage.

I also have a problem in my Grub file
It says "/etc/default/grub: 30: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution"
which is the last line

I guess I modified it already by hand but forget what it was.
I'm using Ubuntu lucid 10.04 in Asus eeePC 1001px
I am sorry if it's simple, I am a very beginner.

File is:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootflags=umask=007,uid=1000,gid=1000 quiet splash
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
