Package: startupmanager
Version: 1.9.13-5
Severity: important
cd /boot/grub
mv grub.cfg grub.cfg.orig
/usr/sbin/startupmanager
1. In the list of the default OS, after probing, startupmanager displays :
"menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, avec Linux 2.6.32-5-686' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {"
instead of "Debian GNU/Linux, avec Linux 2.6.32-5-686".
2. The system does not reboot. Only a rescue modifying grub.cfg at the hand
permit the restart.
I am not sure that the second point is related to startupmanager, but
it modified my boot sectors without my consent.
A confirmation button should exist for a program that have actions with such
importance for usability.
