Congratulations on figuring out the new hoops to jump through to report a bug. I couldn't figure it out, but at this point I don't care enough about Ubuntu to worry about it. I'm just stalling and waiting for a better alternative, perhaps Chrome? (My employer favors RHEL, but I can barely stand it... I tried a bunch of other distros, and for a while Ubuntu WAS the very best, but in a very strong sense of WAS.)
Anyway, here is the bug I would have reported if I could have figured out how to do so. It comes closest to matching this bug report of the ones I could find: Fresh install of Lucid Lynx in it's very own partition. I made the change in /etc/default/grub to save default so it is supposed to report to the last booted partition. Works fine on one machine (a Sharp notebook) and absolutely refuses to work on another machine (an IBM/Lenovo R53). Looking in /boot/grub/grub.cfg seems to show the proper code has been added to save the default, but something is not working-- AND I DON'T REALLY CARE ANYMORE. I have already wasted a lot of time with this supposedly improved version of Ubuntu. Based on prior experiences with Ubuntu, my two most heavily used machines are both running OLD versions of Ubuntu and I have NO plans to upgrade them for worse functionality. Hint (on the theory that there is some Ubuntu so-called staff person who cares): Making the reporting of bugs more difficult does NOT make Ubuntu better. It does not reduce the number of bugs or improve the quality of the software. It simply makes Ubuntu more like Microsoft Windows. P.S. I hate Microsoft and now I'm beginning to hate Ubuntu. That is NOT progress. Apple is no better, and Google will probably go completely evil before Chrome is released... I don't believe the world is really going to hell in a hand-basket, but things only improve on the long-term average, and I seem to be living in the short term. -- Howmany option from grub no longer available in grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
