Robie, debconf is not a database and any setting in there needs to be read to a configuration file and any changes in the configuration file need to be filled back into debconf. The integration for default cmdline with /etc/default/grub is very complex and already broke a bunch of times.
Drop-in units are the standard mechanism to override this in many projects. We specifically added the mechanism to allow overrides, and that is used in various places to set grub defaults for images, OEM kernels, and plenty of other things I can't possibly remember. It is the preferred place to store such overrides. Of course it's preferable to have overrides that only append items, I don't recall if that works correctly, after all the files are parsed by C code in grub-install I believe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812752 Title: UX: changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub has no effect in cloud images To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1812752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
