Grub not updating?

[oldfred]

I have not seen this, but with 14.04 someone posted the grub update and it included this comment. Not sure exactly what it means.

Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.

Indeed, 14.04 users are complaining about this as well as can be seen in THIS bug report. I have found a workaround that I can confirm works for me. I have commented out the GRUB_HIDDEN* fields like this;

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5

Now I don't get that warning when updating GRUB and my countdown timer was changed to 5s from 10s. I have no idea why those 2 are not commented out by default to avoid this.....
