Matthew, do you think it would be appropriate to do a SRU for Karmic to
provide a link to the Grub2 community doc page so those using Grub2 can
get directions where needed?

Phill, we don't usually copy/paste material from the community docs to
the system docs - it is easy enough to provide a link to the community
docs when appropriate. I provided a link to getting started with system
documentation in comment #19. You don't need to convert from some other

Hi,
I'd be delighted to help, however I'm not very familiar with wiki page
writing so would need a How To in order to convert drs305's excellent
community document into Docbook format. I also am in regular contact with
drs305 for matters grub.
I guess the 1st place would be what programme you

Phil,
Yes, I am the same person. I've worked closely with drs305 in the past
and know that he has done a great deal of work on documenting Grub2 (he
basically wrote the wiki page himself [1]). Official documentation [2]
is written using Docbook XML - what you see on the web is an HTML export

Phill, the updates have not yet made it into Lucid, they are still in
our development branch. They will be deployed to Lucid sometime after
String Freeze, which is in a few days. Cheers.

This does affect Karmic, which supports both Grub and Grub2. A patch
for Karmic would have to be different than the fix in Lucid and would
need to meet the Stable Release Update criteria -

Hi,
please appreciate that I am really new to this.
e.g. drs305 wrote an update for it, quite a while ago. He passed it on and
it was not posted. As drs305 has written so much for grub2 would it not be
beyond the realms of possibility that it be applied ?
The thread I replied to on the forum
I am assuming this is the same Connor Ives as the person at post #3 in
October 2009 ?

I changed the section in the switching guide to use StartUp-Manager for
configuring some boot options, which is compatible with Grub and Grub2.
Thank you to those who have posted patches and provided feedback.
I am going to open a separate bug report for the Grub references in the
serverguide and
There was also a bug report [1] on the console security page of the
server guide referencing the GRUB Legacy password protection mechanism.
I submitted patches on that bug report which for karmic and lucid which

I will mark this with docbook, and include the comments from Joe, and

By the way, it seem that Grub2 1.97~beta4 (the version in 9.10 -
currently up to 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1) does support passwords, although
not yet MD5-encrypted passwords - see

For the time being, I would suggest adding a disclaimer that new
installs of Ubuntu Server (as of 9.10) default to grub2 (grub-pc) and
that it does not (currently) support passwords (yet). It's better then
just having a page with invalid commands.
Of course don't just copy/paste what I said, but

Hi Shane, unfortunately for us I think there is a bit more to it than
that. If you have a look at the wiki link above in the Grub 2 Files
Folders section, it explicitly says in big bold red letters NOT to edit
