Its not a "hack" its the old way. He'll advise you not to edit the file, but I always do that... i'm to lazy to do it the new way... one day..one day..

No... my grub is from the normal karmic. Did you had another ubuntu  installed previous? The thing is, when you install any ubuntu from karmic up, it asks if you wish to upgrade to the new grub.. you can always say no.

Yes, i've been upgrading this since Hardy. I don't remember being asked, it just stayed "legacy".

Although your "grub-common 1.98-1ubuntu6" is already grub2 :) see [1]
The major diff is that in grub 2 there's a whole new way of editing the entries, although you can sill do it the old way by editing the grub.cfg file, they do not recommend - but its doable.

Yes i already witnessed grub2 in its full weirdness on another computer... but i didn't now about this hack :)

It says
grub 0.97-29ubuntu60 (Legacy version)
grub-common 1.98-1ubuntu6
Afaik Ubuntu Studio is a whole lotta different dependency tree.

Nop, from karmic (9.10) up its grub2, the thing its a bit odd but 1.97~beta4 is actually grub2[1].  Or a more trusted source [2] - see that it reads grub2 bellow:

grub2 (1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4))

Thanks all!

I'm with (stupid:) Ubuntu, vanilla... so my kernel is not rt by default, i suppose.
Will take a look at this patching thing... (before i thought it's the source you have to patch...)

As for grub, it seems grub2 comes with a fresh Lucid install but my old grub just survived the upgrade (bet i'm glad)
