I had exactly the same problem, just after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, and the workaround described in the initial report works for me, that is modifying file /etc/grub.d/00_header by replacing the if fi block by the line set timeout=10.
Interestingly enough, the same code was in the original file "/etc/grub.d/00_header" in version 10.04, but it looks that the upgrade affected something that makes "recordfail" variable to be empty when these lines of code are reached. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657871 Title: timeout in grub2 not working -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
