Title:
  karmic a3: softwares made unusable by grub2

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I use two proprietary softwares which have treated me very reliably
  and invaluably for years.  They are both by the same shareware author.
  One is Bootit NG, boot manager, partition manager, etc.  The other is
  Image for Linux 2.

  Grub2 in overwriting the main MBR overwrote Bootit NG which resides
  there and is a boot-loader, also responsible for partition-swapping.
  I installed alpha 2 to the mbr on the /boot partition, and feel it
  should have not been changed as it was.  Other bootloaders and mbr
  utilities must be affected.  However, grub2 is very good.

  Image for Linux runs inside a Linux distribution as in my case Ubuntu,
  for imaging partitions in case of a need to restore.  I have
  discovered today that it seems not to be allowed to execute the
  executable 'imagel'.  Upon running in terminal it is immediately
  killed.  Logs from the syslog and auth.log pertaining to this are
  attached.  I am not sure what they mean, I see a reference to
  apparmor.  Possibly mis-understanding something in IFL.

  The author of these softwares has been notified with the same info.

  Thanks
