** Description changed: - Binary package hint: grub2 + [Impact] + On some UEFI platforms, useful key combinations fail to work over the serial console. In particular, ^x/F10 - one of which is needed to boot after interactively editing the boot menu. This leaves end users without a sane way to tweak command line arguments, and potentially other system recovery tasks. - If I boot the Natty daily livecd in EFI mode and press e at the grub - prompt to edit the command, it says to press ctrl-x to boot the entry. - Pressing ctrl-x results in it just inserting the letter 'x' instead of - booting. + [Test Case] + Boot such a UEFI system to the GRUB menu. Press 'e' to edit the commandline, then attempt to continue the boot using "^x". + + [Regression Risk] + The proposed fix is a cherry-pick from upstream that we've been shipping in Ubuntu since 17.10 w/o any any known regressions. However, it is possible that such regressions exist - e.g. if a platform's firmware has a buggy implementation fo the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_EX protocol.
