Just an update on where I'm at with this. I'm still several hours away from the "prescribed test cases" but while taking a break I booted into my installed "stable" Lucid and installed the proposed updates. All went well.
I was first presented with the common options regarding "command line" and "boot parameters", and I accepted the defaults. Next I was presented with whether to keep my modified config and the default was "keep local version". I chose to compare and things looked as they should, that is the dialog was clear. I'd forgotten some of the modifications I'd made until seeing that :^) Since I'm testing I went for the "maintainers version" and all went well. Things rebooted as they should, that is boot was still handled by my Karmic install. I next booted back into Lucid and ran "dpkg- reconfigure grub-pc" and things appeared as they should. I will still follow the whole test case scenario described in bug #580408 to be very, very sure but so far this is looking very good to me. -- Ubuntu Lucid grub2 dist-upgrades result in confusion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
