[Bug 1273764] Re: Grub ignores options on /etc/default/grub

[Edwin Pujols]

I've done a fresh install of trusty (amd64) without proposed enabled,
and the issue persists. I noticed the GRUB_TIMEOUT* is been overridden
on 30_os-prober. I've updated the bug description.

** Description changed:

- On trusty-proposed:
+ This is a fresh install of trusty (amd64), no proposed enabled.
  
  I have attached my `/etc/default/grub` file. After modifying it, I make
  sure to run update-grub, but the changes won't take effect on next
- reboot: the menu is shown with a timeout of 10 seconds.
+ reboot: the menu is shown with a timeout of 10 seconds even when
+ GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE is set to countdown.
+ 
+ After reading grub.cfg and googling a bit I found this:
+ 
+ https://gist.github.com/LeahCim/9332432
+ 
+ (30_os-prober is overriding the values of GRUB_TIMEOUT and
+ GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE.)
