Public bug reported: Binary package hint: startupmanager
I can only fear how many that think they know their password for the Grub menu (they set it with sum...), just to realized the day they need to go into recovery mode that the password is wrong or even disabled! Please at least fix a proper dialogue like "Password change failed". Thanks. PS It doesn't matter how simple or advanced the password is The full log when attempting password update: $ LANG=C sudo startupmanager Grub2 not detected Version: ImageMagick 6.4.5 2009-01-22 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2008 ImageMagick Studio LLC Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
