Title:
  Have to select Operating System twice during boot

Status in “grub” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hardware: MacBook with a partitioned harddrive
  On one partition I have MacOS
  On the other I have Ubuntu 11.10

  When I power up my MacBook it boots into MacOS as normal
  If I want to boot into Ubuntu I hold down "alt" when booting and I can use the native MacOS firmware menu bootloader
  This works, then a few seconds later I get the GRUB bootloader asking me which OS I wish to boot
  I have already selected my preferred OS and I cannot prevent the GRUB bootloader from showing

  Steps to reproduce:
  Boot a macbook with partitions setup manually, with Ubuntu AND MacOS
  Boot into Ubuntu
  Turn off grub menu by hacking /etc/default/grub

  Expected Result:
  As config has changed the grub bootloader does not show

  Actual Result:
  GRUB still shows
