I hate this grub... for now.

Ight this grub ain't like the old grub. Editing it is confusing. How do I edit timing and placement of each loader?

I'm not on Ultimate right now but I believe I used startup manager to change those exact settings. You can install it through synaptic, after install I think it will be located in System>Administration.

mmmk glad I found this.

Code: Select all
sudo chmod 644 /boot/grub/grub.cfg

which changes the permissions to
-rw-r--r--r--
so you can do a
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg


In grub2 the config file really isn't meant to be edited as is menu.lst in 'grub legacy'. The .cfg file is created by update-grub and reads files in /etc/grub.d for its content. Anytime you do an 'update-grub' it is going to return the file to 'read-only' status. I was able to carefully edit the menu now I gotta figure out how to change the background image.

You can edit the grub.cfg file only through /etc/grub.d/custom/40_custom file.Then do a "sudo update-grub" wich will modify the grub.cfg file as well.

So is it still okay to use startup manager? I've been using it for quite a while and haven't noticed any ill effects from it even with grub 2. It's what I suggest to friends and family because of its ease of use. Of course I would quit using it if it's unsafe. This thread on ubuntu forums is how I found it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818177

Start up manager will change default boot sequence only, to actually change any boot configuration like the order of multi boot systems (I boot 4 systems) or the name that appears on grub boot screen and such, must be done manually and very carefully ! or you will scrub your grub ! :lol:

It worked out so that I "flipped" the color so the words are black and the back ground is white. It didn't know the color orange, but it knew red and blue. :lol: If only there was a trick to get a image to show up. I wanna find a HD picture of a 'grub' ;)
