Now can you tell grub to boot entry 1, 3, 7, etc? Read an alternate grub.conf? Rapid reboot :) Yes, you can, with grub-reboot command. You should probably team up with the script kitties behind Unity Reboot (http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/unity-reboot-launcher-to-quickly-reboot.html) and implement a faster reboot sequence. I believe it would be beneficial for both parties. Wait a second. There is a whole plan and design to integrated Reboot into in the g-s-d panel and the reboot popup.

There's an ANCIENT spec for RapidReboot Nah, I was thinking about more recent stuff which is exactly what's proposed in the quickly reboot. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SessionHandling#Restart https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartupSettings Although later deals with grub customisation bugs as well.

I'm completely baffled as to what startup software is (I'd imagine that would be the bootloader, kernel, systemd, all systemd/init scripts, and in Ubuntu's case X11 as well, along with everything in /bin and /sbin and /lib according to how Unix systems are lain out--everything required for system start-up belongs there, while everything not required for system start-up goes into /usr/) tbh repair systems are a good idea, but they belong in their own place. Don't care for Here is a dialog to configure X system aspect. Also if your system is broken you can fix this part from here. Where is the Troubleshoot my system dialog? Anyway, off-topic.

I believe the original goal was to provide an easy way to customise grub and/or restore default grub settings. We have way to many reports of people modifying grub config and copypasting “ ” from blogs instead of which breaks boot. This is a way to address this with simple way to choose what to boot, whether to show choices during the boot and select what to boot into next. I see your point that it will not magically fix all possible startup problems within the whole stack =) But the reboot popup fixes would be nice ;-) Cheers, Dmitrijs. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
