[Bug 1273764] [NEW] Grub-pc ignores the options on /etc/default/grub

[Edwin Pujols]

Public bug reported:

On trusty-proposed:

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.
