** Description changed: Binary package hint: grub The original English version of the GRUB2 editing screen legend contains the vital information "Press Ctrl-x to boot [...]". It's even coloured yellow as to convey its importancy. The German translation of that legend, however, omits that information. In my opinion this is a critical bug as it effectively prevents the user from being able to rescue his system should the need arise. + + SRU justification: + + IMPACT: As above. I've had to help several confused users unable to + work out how to edit the boot menu and make their changes take effect. + + DEVELOPMENT BRANCH: We picked up a corrected translation as part of a + general translation update in Maverick. I've backported this one change + from it. + + PATCH: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core- + dev/ubuntu/lucid/grub2/lucid/revision/1971 + + TEST CASE: Install in German, and hold Shift while booting to display + the GRUB menu (or, if in KVM, edit /etc/default/grub, comment out both + GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT* lines, run 'sudo update-grub', and reboot). Edit a + menu entry. Check that the legend includes a comment about Ctrl-x + (Strg-X in German). + + REGRESSION POTENTIAL: None that I can think of.
