{{
*Update:* Phoronix, among other blogs, is noting a critical
bug<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODE5Ng>that
will affect some users of certain Ubuntu distributions—namely, boot
options for non-Ubuntu partitions can stop working. The fix is to run sudo
update-grub from a terminal, or after hitting Alt+F2 for a prompt, and
Ubuntu is working on "re-spinning" the ISO images that are affected.
