Package: grub-common
Version: 1.97~beta2-2
Severity: normal
File: /etc/grub.d/00_header
Tags: patch
In /etc/default/grub I have:
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
I would thus expect the gfxterm to be automatically activated, but it
isn't.
The generated code in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
set default=0
set timeout=5
terminal
### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
It's a bug in 00_header.
The attached patch fixes it.
Cheers,
Michael

hm, apparently this was due to an outdated 00_header conffile.
After purging and reinstalling, the generated grub.cfg looks fine.
So closing.
