Your /etc/default/grub file has double quotes around a lot of things that do not require them, this is what my file looks like:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` Notice how none of those have double quotes around them but yours does. Additionally, I suspect problems with all of the following lines: GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false" export GRUB_MENU_PICTURE="/home/egc/Downloads/chile_independence_day_2013-2015005-hp.jpg" export GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="black/light-gray" export GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="magenta/light-gray" In picture the path for GRUB_MENU_PICTURE as your home directory will not be mounted when grub is running. Please try fixing all the things I've mentioned and rerunning 'sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257736 Title: Grub keeps loading release 3.2.0-53-generic-pae, but i've downloaded all the updates.
