[Bug 722950] Re: ctrl-x does not work in grub-efi

[Dan Mick]

This is fixed in the upstream by commit
9e5f70174ec960a0077f20bb74cb9f4da9b57e7b (and a warning removed by
5fcde03bf1e8cf74c186bcef6d705734f2d002c5).   Grub also just recently
tagged grub-2.02-beta3 with many more fixes.  I think this one is major
enough that, if the risk of a full transition to beta3 is considered
high until more testing is done, then the above two commits should be
pulled in as a patch.

This is a complete disabler for those trying to boot EFI over serial-
redirected console, as it's likely F10 doesn't work, and neither does
^X.

Title:
  ctrl-x does not work in grub-efi

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  If I boot the Natty daily livecd in EFI mode and press e at the grub
  prompt to edit the command, it says to press ctrl-x to boot the entry.
  Pressing ctrl-x results in it just inserting the letter 'x' instead of
  booting.
