[Bug 1095142] Re: GRUB2 installation with GPT partition table unclear

[Phillip Susi]

I'm sorry, but that is just not a bug.  It also has nothing to do with
this report that you keep trying to take over, where grub in fact, did
install successfully.  Please stop trying to take over this old bug and
make it into a vague complaint.


** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Summary changed:

- GRUB2 installation with GPT partition table unclear
+ GRUB2.00 recognizes ext4 as ext2
