Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
In 10.04 I didn't had to press enter to boot, since I upgraded to 10.10 I have to. And I didn't find a way in /etc/default/grub to change this.
I found the issue in this area in /etc/grub.
if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
set timeout=-1
else
set timeout=10
fi
If I change the -1 to a positive integer the time out works again... i guess this is just a workaround, the real issue must be with recordfail? But I don't know how to fix this.
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

There is one more stage thing, I also have stuff from ### BEGIN /etc/grub. d/00_header. orig ### in my grub.cfg... I think this should not be here... I guess this could be a different bug? I will move this orig file for now!
