[16:53] <ameetp> I have a system bug 611454 that just sits at "loading grub..." and nothing else happens.  Anyone know how to drop into a rescue shell or something to pull some logs?
[16:53] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 611454 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Acer Aspire One ZA3 751h does not boot GRUB (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/611454
[17:01] <ev> ameetp: cjwatson will be able to help you a lot better than I can, but is the message exactly "loading grub..."  If memory serves, grub uses that text as somewhat of a progress bar, so if even a single . is missing, that's important.
[17:28] <ameetp> ev:  I will have double check.  But thanks for the feedback
[17:32] <ev> sure thing

[21:01] <shtylman> why are people up in arms about this whole gnome contribution thing?
[21:02] <shtylman> maybe I just don't pay attention but I never got the impression that canonical was trying to make it seem like they are major contributors to gnome
[21:02] <shtylman> I actually saw that gnome was falling behind compared to what ubuntu/canonical was doing... :/
[21:02] <shtylman> but meh.. maybe I don't know the whole story :)

[21:50] <CIA-4> ubiquity: Add a new template ubiquity/force_failsafe_graphics intended to force
