[Bug 1038093] [NEW] Fedora does not appear in Ubuntu's GRUB menu

[YannUbuntu]

Public bug reported:

The os-prober of Ubuntu does not detect Fedora when Fedora's partition
is unmounted (which is frequent). Consequence: Fedora does not appear in
Ubuntu's GRUB menu.

WORKAROUND: mount the Fedora partition before doing update-grub in
Ubuntu.

Bug confirmed by several French users with Fedora17 and Ubuntu12.04
(http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=9695571#p9695571 and
http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=57393 ).
