Title:
  Dual boot screen not visible

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Resolution entry in /etc/default/grub was commented out. Don't know
  why this was the case but it might be something you folks should check
  out.

  Originally, I just wanted to upgrade my 10.04 LTS installation to
  12.04, but couln't, even though it was offered when I used the Live
  CD. Just gave me a screen with the default background but no launcher
  or anything else.

  I didn't know how to recover, so I used Partition Magic to wipe out
  the Ubuntu partition on the drive and then plugged  in the Live CD and
  did a fresh install. Same result - a screen with the default
  background but no launcher or anything else. So I wiped out the
  partition again and reinstalled 10.04 LTS from its Live CD and just
  installed every upgrade until I got to 12.04. Took two days to do as I
  had time for it.

  Along the way I somehow lost the dual boot screen - possibly when you
  folks changed to GRUB2? Anyway, editing /etc/default/grub to remove
  the # and adding a resolution I wanted corrected the problem and
  everything works fine for both OSs now
