Title:
  timeout in grub2 not working

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  In 10.04 I didn't had to press enter to boot, since I upgraded to
  10.10 I have to. And I didn't find a way in /etc/default/grub to
  change this.

  I found the issue in this area in /etc/grub.d/00_header:
  if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
    set timeout=-1
  else
    set timeout=10
  fi

  If I change the -1 to a positive integer the time out works again... i
  guess this is just a workaround, the real issue must be with
  recordfail? But I don't know how to fix this.
