Last comment: reinstalled natty April 13, 2011 to clean hard drive. Grub 1.99~rc1-12ubuntu1 is working correctly. Synaptic still broken, is not interfering with Grub 1.99~rc1-12ubuntu1 I would close this bug and erase it now, if I knew how.

If recordfail isn't being cleared, then your system is not correctly finishing booting - it isn't getting as far as /etc/rc2.d/S99grub-common. You need to find out why and fix that. GRUB isn't smart enough to do this: it needs to be investigated by a human. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755664 Title: grub 1.99~rc looses automatc count when synaptic freezes, and one has to reboot to unfreeze natty-synaptic-package-manager. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Colin Watson. you are correct. I thought I found a connection. But most of my comments here should go to synaptic/natty problems, bug #755694 - Here is the real grub~1.99rc error: sudo grub-editenv /boot/grub/grubenv unset recordfail corrects the failure to count & automatically boot into natty. However, sudo grub-editenv /boot/grub/grubenv unset recordfail only works once, the next reboot [restart] sets recordfail back to problem mode. it seems a lot like Bug #462888: Bug Description Binary package hint: grub2 Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala beta grub2~1.97-beta4-1ubuntu3 grub2 menu stays until I press enter. grubenv reads: recordfail=1 My understanding is, that it should only read "1" if there was a boot problem or a "suspend / hibernate" problem. The OS does put PC into "suspend" mode, & I can awaken it from there. However, I have set "Never" mode for both PC & Monitor (in Power Management), so it should not put the PC into "suspend" in the first place. But Grub2 apparently is told that the PC failed, because if I manually put recordfail=0 it always changes back to recordfail=1, & thus the grub2 menu appears indefinitely, until I press enter. I have devised a work-around that fixes the symptom but not the actual bug: by adding the following to the bottom of the /etc/grub.d/40_custom script: fi if [ ${recordfail} = 1 ]; then set timeout=3 else set timeout=0 fi # end in this way if there was a problem with booting or suspend / hibernate one has whatever timeout one adds to this script, & if grubenv were set with recordfail=0 it would boot without delay. As I wrote, it does not fix the actual bug, & perhaps it really is two bugs. one in ACPI managing, & the other in not resetting grub2 recordfail. as to "Required input missing": I was unable to use the "Record a problem..." program, it refused to start, so I used: sudo ubuntu-bug grub2, to report. I could not find this exact bug described, so a new bug report may help. I have attached grub.cfg, which of course shows the altered 40_custom. - grub~1.99rc is not ready until recordfail is controlled by grub. If there is a reason for grub2 not to automatically boot, it would be helpful for grub to tell the user why, & what to do. I am sorry for the grub/synaptic,natty mix-up, & for still not knowing how to add more than one attachment at a time.

I'm afraid I don't follow your logic about why this is a GRUB problem at all. Applications freezing has nothing to do with the boot loader. Can you post your syslog? ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755664 Title: grub 1.99~rc looses automatc count when synaptic freezes, and one has to reboot to unfreeze natty-synaptic-package-manager. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
