    Like a story you often hear at the local...

    I'll start by saying I write this stone-cold sober...

    I was in the process of running through my usual setup tweaks on yet another fresh install (trying to isolate the possible cause of my 'conky-madness'), and was adding the line 'acpi_osi=Linux' into /etc/default/grub file. It is the only change I make and I follow it up with 'sudo update-grub' in a konsole and then reboot. I was greeted with a text reboot and I immediately thought I'd mucked it up yet again so back to /etc/default, only this time no grub file. Just plain GONE!

    I couldn't have deleted it, nor was it in the trash. The required right click options were not yet enabled on this fresh install. And it wasn't in any nearby folder either.
    To the konsole again; enter: locate grub, and amongst the longish list was...


    /etc/default/grub


    only it wasn't...

    I copied it back from the install disc and it's like nothing ever happened. Only I know it did.

    Maybe your grub ran into an unfriendly gigglebyte and ran away >.<
