[Bug 894446] Re: grub ignores startup manager with last update

[David Smith]

Can we please get repairs pushed out with updates, as we got this bug
pushed out with updates?  If this was an attempt to thwart a virus
attack, what would keep the virus from placing itself first in the
configuration file... if it had already gained access?

Title:
  grub ignores startup manager with last update

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  With the "99" updates I downloaded yesterday, grub ceased to pay any
  attention to Startup Manager's settings again.  It always defaults to
  the first item in the list now.  This was working correctly until the
  updates I downloaded 8 days ago.  Please leave comments in the source
  code for someone to quit breaking this.
