For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS there is a specific option that can be set in /etc/default/grub.
For example, if you want to have a 2 seconds timeout (thus avoiding hangs for unattended reboots) just add the following line in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=2
Remember to run update-grub after that...
The files in /lib/systemd/system should not be edited by the admin directly and should be left as they are. Those files belong to an installed package and updates and/or changes could break things.
To modify existing systemd files and configuration like the .service files, systemd provides the /etc/systemd/system path, which overrides files and settings found in /lib/systemd/system.
So, if you e.g. have two .service files as follows,
/etc/systemd/system/mysql.service
/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service
the one located at /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service will be used when entering commands like systemctl [start|stop|enable|disable] mysql.service.
Additionally, systemd provides drop-in ".d" directories which allows to just change or add a single option of the .service file in /lib/systemd/system. You can use systemctl edit mysql.service to create such a drop-in .d directory.
All you need to enter then is the section (e.g. [Service], [Unit], ... ) and the option you want to change.
Since you want to change the restart behaviour, do a systemctl edit mysql.service and enter the lines as follows.
[Service]
Restart=on-failure
This will create a folder
/etc/systemd/system/mysql.service.d
and the override file
/etc/systemd/system/mysql.service.d/override.conf
which contains the lines you entered earlier. You can also manually create the files and folders.
I would prefer this method over copying the whole .service file, as the package updates bring changes, you only have to take care of the single changes you have altered.
In any case, when working with systemd and doing changes to configuration files, one has to enter
systemctl daemon-reload
to activate the changes.
Do not change anything else like lxcfs related things. The multi-user.target.wants is just an organizational method of systemd to group services together that shall be started for the multi-user target. Targets in systemd replaces the old init 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 method.
Some of the double mysql.service files, will be symbolic links that point to your actual .service file.
Please also see the manpages as follows.
man systemctl
man systemd.unit
man systemd.service
man systemd.target

Since you finished your installation(Please correct) and only pending thing was grub installation, with above error I think it is UEFI system, try to boot from rescue disk and install grub from there.
Hope this will help.
