I second this. By now you need to use a grub-gfxboot package from another distribution when you want to use grub-gfxboot. This leads to problems when updating the kernel because Ubuntu uses another syntax in the /boot/grub/menu.lst than the distributions from which you can take the grub-gfxboot package.
Ubuntu uses the entry "uuid" followed by the partition-uuid whereas the grub-gfxboot from other distributions uses "root (hdx,x)". This leads to the entry "root" followed by the partition-uuid after updating the kernel and with this entry grub is not able to boot Ubuntu. I'd also love to the grub-gfxboot as default grub, especially with the shiny KDE4 Kubuntu Karmic. It's hard for me to explain people for whom I install Kubuntu "Look how great this is, bling-bling here and there - and, er, cough, that's the boot menu... see, at least it's... functional...." -- [needs-packaging] grub-gfxboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
