[Bug 1240360] Re: Rename boot option from "recovery mode" to "safe mode" in GRUB menu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.00-21

---------------
grub2 (2.00-21) unstable; urgency=low


  [ Robert Millan ]
  * Backport from upstream:
    - Accept ZFS version 5000 (feature based).

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Silence error message on initial installation when /etc/default/grub
    does not yet exist.
  * Add GRUB_RECOVERY_TITLE option, to allow the controversial "recovery
    mode" text to be customised (LP: #1240360).
  * Backport from upstream:
    - Revamp hidden timeout handling by adding a new timeout_style
      environment variable and a corresponding GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE
      configuration key for grub-mkconfig.  This controls hidden-timeout
      handling more simply than the previous arrangements, and pressing any
      hotkeys associated with menu entries during the hidden timeout will
      now boot the corresponding menu entry immediately (LP: #1178618).  As
      part of merging this, radically simplify the mess that
      quick_boot.patch had made of /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober; if it finds
      other OSes it can now just set timeout_style=menu and make sure the
      timeout is non-zero.
    - Fix build with FreeType 2.5.1.

Bug description:
  SRU justification:

  [Impact] Customer request to allow renaming the "recovery mode" boot option.
  [Test Case] Set GRUB_RECOVERY_TITLE to something other than "recovery mode" in an /etc/default/grub.d/*.cfg file, run update-grub, and make sure that it takes effect.
  [Regression Potential] Not much; just make sure that the defaults remain the same without setting GRUB_RECOVERY_TITLE.

  Original report follows:

  This is a request from OEM.

  OEM request to rename the boot option from "recovery mode" to "safe
  mode" in GRUB menu.

  It's more sensible for user.
