You're right: I hadn't noticed, but my 'grubenv' file contains a "recordfail=1" line. Also, as you state, there is no time-out on the GRUB menu.
As a further experiment, I removed the "recordfail" lines on the menu entries that included them, since I assumed that these were the commands that were responsible for updating the 'grubenv' file. And, indeed, the "recordfail=1" line no longer shows up after reboot. Furthermore, the countdown on the GRUB menu remains. Perhaps I should try and develop my own GRUB install scripts; as it stands, the GRUB configuration file is far more complicated than what I need. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311247 Title: [Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/1311247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
