Title:
update-grub overrides /etc/default/gr
The bug is certainly still present because this code hasn't changed. I
don't see that it's useful to set confirmed bugs back to 'incomplete'
just because they're old - there's nothing incomplete in the report, and
it shouldn't be discarded based on whether the submitter has time to
reply to pings.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
** Changed in
Currently, they take precedence when menu.lst is created for the first
time, which is probably at install, before you even can have made
/etc/default/grub, so yes this is pointless.
Unless you deliberately deletes the old menu.lst before you run update-
grub, but that doesn't rhyme withe "update".
