[COLOR=#000000]Cavsfan; Thank you for your time and effort. In regards to your last directive I have complied. Starting with a "clean" slate, making the edits; the result remains that my boot grub menu remains unchanged. This is not to imply that there is any fault in your excellent tutorial. It boils down to I have a fault in my system and to this time I have not isolated it. I presently do not have the knowledge to find this fault, though I keep pressing on. Background: Recently I had Ubuntu 10.04 standard desk-top install, ubuntu 12.04 standard desk-top install and lubuntu 12.04 standard desk-top install; all booting with no issue on a standard grub menu.
At 10.04's EOL I prepared to end 10.04 and set up for whatever I was going to install in it's place. GParted: deleted all the 10.04 partitions, and in their place I made 3 smaller partitions to house 13.04 and at that time I decided to do a "minimal"install. The new install went with out an issue, smooth as one would want; Rebooted: The grub boot menu in respect to the new raring install was presented in an unfamiliar syntax, but still worked to boot raring up. installed xorg, xfce4 for the DE - no issue installing google-chrome I encountered "authentication" issues, found there had been no .Xauthority file generated nor was the XAUTHORITY variable set. I worked through that; Found I could not run a graphical application with root's access, installing "gksudo" resolved that one.
Now I am back to fixing the grub boot menu ...have been at this for a few weeks and nothing I do effects that boot menu. The boot menu is fully functional, just no indication of which kernel I am booting. Kinda pleased with my install of 13.04 ...got all ,less the menu, set up and I feel good about it. Now I feel good about my system and all I do and can do with it... a bit of pride perhaps on my part -> but while I was trying to doctor my boot menu, how bout the eye candy to show it off ??
I am unable to change anything on the grub boot menu from what was the initial setting when installed. And yes I am in a serious learning mode. I have done lots of homework to the point that I want to know how /boot/grub/grub.cfg is parsed as well as what tools I can make at my disposal to understand what is not taking place.
/boot/grub/grub.cfg is supposed to be executed at boot up, but is it ? (for 1 question) "sudo apt-get install grub"'s install wizard balks at a destination device, and certain lines in "debconf's" output I wonder about (more homework); do I need to zero out the disk's boot sector and (re-)install (for 2nd question) -------- This is where I stand now with my newly generated grub.cfg file: [/COLOR]```
