kubuntu-grub-splashimages adds a splashimage config line to GRUB's menu.lst to the wrong place

I can confirm this bug.
It doesn't prevent grub from working though.
I don't know of a policy regarding where to put this line in menu.lst, and I think if grub-update can detect it and copy it to another place, it could well move it instead and not duplicate it. I'd tend to think this is a bug with update-grub.

So I'll file this bug as a bug of update-grub script.

I'll move this bug to update-grub rather.

How can I move the bug to another package?
Script update-grub comes from the grub package...

Ah, done... ok.

Bug description:
update-grup uses "grep" to find lines
^splashimage=
and output (from grep) is written before the first auto-kernel option. If the option splashimage was used in the user section (before auto-generated section), the line gets duplicated because user section is left and auto-generated part receives new config line of slpashimage. On the next run, however, grep outputs two lines starting with splashimage and both are written to auto-generated section. The next run... 3 lines etc.

This patch modifies update-grub to :
 - get only the first instance of ^splashimage= in menu.lst and ignore the following ones
 - remove the existing instances from the original file so the buffer doesn't duplicate them.

Raphaël, you set this bug to 'Fix Committed'. To where was the fix committed? If you only meant to bring attention to the patch that you submitted, then this was counter-productive, since bugs marked 'Fix Committed' are considered dealt with, and I happened across this bug by chance. Marking your attachment as a patch is sufficient for that.

Michael, please review this patch.

Sorry that was not clear... I already contacted Michael about this patch and he said he could include it but there was no point in it since update-grub had been disabled lately. In these conditions it's not really an existing bug anymore since update-grub won't duplicate the lines anymore. Anyway, I could commit the patch now I guess.

Still broken in Karmic i686 testing. Apparently this has been a problem since Edgy??

Hi
Im closing this bug since Ubuntu has since moved on to grub2 and also because the kubuntu-grub-splashimages package has been removed [ see bug 457825 ]
