I don't have /etc/grub/default either. I do have /etc/default/grub. The file names are confusing.
I see no reference to the former in update-grub or grub-mkconfig, but grub-mkconfig includes the contents of /etc/default/grub. Are you missing /etc/default/grub? I sometimes get nervous about grub, too. I do keep my boot cd's handy just in case. -- X starts on wrong tty: pressing enter after 5 minutes crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
