I have a dual-boot grub2. On the list, there are Ubuntu 10.04, Memtest x86, and Windows7. I was wondering if it is possible to make Windows 7 first in the grub boot list. At the moment Ubuntu is first, so if it's possible to make windows 7 first.

i have an entry in grub that i don't use at all "Windows recovey " and i want to know if there is a way to remove it or just hide it i have an other problem is grub confuses some partitions names so is there a way to rename them
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been fooling around with some of the new kernels and have ended up with a lot of options in my grub at boot. I have been checking this page:[URL].. ... and it appears hiding the entries in grub2 is not as easy as hashing them out (#) which was the convention in grub.
My problem: I have installed kernel 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 just to fool around. Neither works in anything but low-graphics as it seems the ATI graphics driver is not working in either yet. They both also kill my wireless (don't recognise the card). BUT I don't want to completely uninstall them as I'd like to keep playing around as time goes on and they develop. I'd like to just hide them from the menu.
Is there some easy way of doing this? The link I provide only gives options to make the kernel non-executable (overly complicated process) or remove the kernel completely, neither of which I want to do. This used to be simple in grub, open a file and add or remove a #, and - although overall I prefer grub2 - IMHO this 'improvement' seems a little like a backward step. Sure a million people will disagree, but .
When I originally installed Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, I had the following operating systems already installed:
Kubuntu 9.04
Windows 7
Windows XP
Ubuntu automagically created a GRUB2 menu that offered all of these, plus of course itself, which was fine for a while.
Later on, I deleted and reformatted the partitions that had been dedicated to Kubuntu 9.04. GRUB2 has failed to keep up. Despite running "sudo update-grub" multiple times, the GRUB2 menu continues to show entries for Kubuntu 9.04.
How do I get rid of these obsolete entries? The partitions it was on simply do not exist any longer, so I don't know how GRUB2 is picking it up.
I had already edited my fstab file to reflect the new partitioning scheme, so I don't know where GRUB2 is getting the idea that I still have Kubuntu 9.04 installed.
Now it's:
Ubuntu
Memtest
Windows 7
I want:
Windows 7
Ubuntu
Memtest
How do I go about doing it? Do I rename "30_os-prober" in /etc/grub.d/ to "10_os-prober" and "10_linux" to "30_linux"?
As it stands right now, Grub2 seems to generate menu entries in this order (for my pc)
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22 (recovery)
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21 (recovery)
Windows XP
How can I make it so that Grub generates entries in this order
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22
Windows XP
Ubuntu 2.6.32-22 (recovery
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21
Ubuntu 2.6.32-21 (recovery)
If you're wondering why I care about the order, its because I just installed Grub with an icon based theme. In that situation, it looks silly to have 4 Ubuntu Icons next to each other, and then the windows one at the end.
i have been running Kubuntu 10.04 on my primary hard drive, and i have a second 1.5TB HD that i use for storage. so shrunk the secondary HD partition and created a second 50GB partition and i installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it and told it to rewrite the mbr on my primary HD. Where i am at: i took the menu entry from my Kubuntu "grub.cfg" and the entry from my Ubuntu "grub.cfg" and put them in the 40_custom file. so now when i boot-up my computer, it shows both installations at the bottom of Grub2s menu list. with all the menu entries that Grub automatically adds.
What i would like to know is how do i make it so that the Grub2 menu only shows the entries that i add to the 40_Custom file and not the randomly generated list aswell.
Is it possible to add menu entries for older kernels to boot instead of the latest?
I have tried this in Ubuntu 10.04 and it hasn't worked.
This used to be possible with ease in grub legacy.
I copied the current menu entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg and pasted it in the /etc/grub.d/ 20_custom file.
Then I changed the kernel number to the older kernel number and the initrd number too. #update-grub puts this entry into 'grub.cfg', but it doesn't work.
I get:
The old kernel is in /boot as well as the respective initrd and config files.
I have been reading this but could not resolve my issue: [URL]. The problem is as follows. I got a samsung laptop and there is some kind of recovery utility installed. After installing Ubuntu I get too windows grub entries, one is called Windows Vista (loader) on /dev/sda1 and the other one is Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2. The latter is correct and the first one is something that I'd rather not have active at all in the grub menu. Both of them are of course created by 30_os-prober in /etc/grub.d. I figured that I would most likely prefer a custom entry for Windows 7 and remove the x flag from 30_os-prober. I tried to create a file 50_windows7 in a described manner:
#! /bin/sh -e
echo "Adding Windows 43_custom" >&2
menuentry "Windows Vista 43_custom" {
insmod ntfs
set root=(hd0,2)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7cecddfbecddb01e
chainloader +1 }
Unfortunately during update-grub I get following:
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-17-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
Found Windows Vista (loader) on /dev/sda1
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2

My grub2 boot entries never change. I have run sudo update-grub and it finds all the proper kernels and such and says that it has updated. I check with the menu.lst and grub.cfg and they both look to be correct
View 13 Replies View RelatedIt's quite easy to change the default boot entry through etc/default/grub. However, this only allows for the first entry to be changed. I want to be able to move all the entries in any order I like. What is the best/easiest way to do this?

I am working on Red Hat Linux since last six months and learning it steps by steps. like configurating ftp server,NSF ,DNS and then email server. I want to learn squid server but technically before going into it what you suggest me that may I first learn to configure Linux as a router,Firewall machine or do IP masquerading on a server. Because all these things are directly or indirectly involve in squid.So guide me because going to start squid i may understand Linux IP table ,how to add entries in it,how to delete entries ,I think you understand my point which i want to ask for guidence.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 15, which was my first real departure from Debian based Linux OSs. I absolutely love the new Gnome 3, and was able to configure F15 to work as I wanted it to. On rebooting I realized that there was no boot loader screen, that F15 just booted and didn't give me a choice as to which OS I wanted to use. Eventually I was able to configure grub to let me see the boot loader and added my old boot loader as a choice. This worked well, maybe not a perfect solution, but it worked. This weekend I installed LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) to another HDD. LMDE uses grub2 and after the install F15 was not recognized.
Two questions: Is there a way for grub2 to see F15? or Can F15 be installed using grub2? I really don't mind re-installing from scratch.
I want to load grub2 from grub4dos.I want to load directly the grub2 core. I know how to load first 512 bytes from some patition by chainloader and load grub2, but what I need is to load directly grub2 core without passing by bootstriping code (first 512 bytes).So, my first boot manager is grub4dos, then I can load grub2 and later I load Ubuntu. But I think I have to edit --set-root
What I dont know is how.
In hdd 0,7 (sda8) I have Ubuntu 10.10 and /boot/grub/core.img is in sda8 (hd0.7)
I tried this way:

Does anyone know what I need to edit to get rid of all the extra entries?
I used Ubuntu a few years back. I simply was not able to make it my main OS since I couldn't get video calling to work reliably enough. Anyways I just installed and noticed my grub menu had many more entries then I have operating systems on my computer. Some reason they came up as duplicates. I have so far gathered they took away my menu.lst, they replaced it with something like etc/general/grub. It appears editing this file doesn't give me the ability to change entries. There are a few I would like to rename, and a few I want to get rid of. There is also some other file that is not supposed to be edited, will I need to edit this or is there another way around it? I found info like this, but it is only adding not removing.
Assuming that you already looked at the grub2 documentation and had trouble figuring out what to do, try this. Use sudo to edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom. It will look like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0 .....
After making the change, run 'sudo update-grub' to apply the change to your grub config.
TLDR: Grub 2 added extra entries, how do I remove and rename some?
I'll get directly to the point, I've installed Ubuntu, Linux on the same partition as Windows 7. Everything works just as it should be, no problems and I'm actually enjoying Ubuntu. It's a nice and clean OS.
Now, I'm having trouble with the GRUB, since I have updated Ubuntu a few times. It's not a large problem, but I don't like it around.
I attached a picture of my GRUB, it may take too many words to describe what's going on, so see for yourself.
