Public bug reported: 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. BavarianPH, Ubuntu forever!
