Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: startupmanager
Version: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS; startupmanager 1.9.13-4ubuntu1
Situation: After installing Ubuntu from the LiveCD, the user needs to
edit GRUB2 configuration. Previously this was as easy as editing
menu.lst, but here SUM is helpful. User installs SUM, and opens it up,
but after briefly showing the loading dialog, SUM quits with no warning.
The problem is that SUM cannot find grub.cfg. If the application is run
from the terminal, the following output is seen:
-------------------------------
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ startupmanager
Grub2 detected
Usplash not detected
Splashy not detected
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
File /boot/grub/grub.cfg does not exist.
-------------------------------
Perhaps in this case, at least a dialog could be shown with the error so
it doesn't look like the application crashed? Or maybe there could be an
option to specify which partition to look in?
