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.

[Bug 755664] Re: grub 1.99~rc looses automatc count when synaptic freezes, and one has to reboot to unfreeze natty-synaptic-package-manager.
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.
BavarianPH,
whether Unity or Gnome3,
please just leave me gnome-panel,
Main Menu panel apps as an option.
Ubuntu Forever!

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

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
