They are talking about grub issue with dual booting Lucid with other
operating systems including other Linux distributions, but I do not have any
other operating system on the machine not even other flavors of Linux. I
solely use Ubuntu. Nothing else. But I will still update grub once I am in
the office tomorrow and will post the consequences later in the day by
evening.
