Comment 63 for bug 653134

bcbc and others have advised using synaptics to lock grup-pc and grub-common. I did this - they are still locked (checked after I got back in) but the loadfont problem happened again after my update this morning.
Luckily I have Live Cd and the instructions to comment out the lines but why, if they are locked, does the updater change them?
I have also locked a lupin something.
Not a LInux expert at all but using it instead of Windows XP with wubi - this is annoying and I cannot expect the rest of the family or friends to use Linux if this is going to happen every time.

Anyone got any answers?
