LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] There is no "menu.lst" in my Ubuntu "/boot/grub/" folder.

- - There is no "menu.lst" in my Ubuntu "/boot/grub/" folder. (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/there-is-no-menu-lst-in-my-ubuntu-boot-grub-folder-785767/)

Hi,

Open a terminal and execute the following commands:

Code:

cd /etc/grub.d

sudo nano 10_windows_xp

The last command will open a text editor. In it copy this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e

echo "Adding Windows XP to GRUB 2 menu"

cat << EOF

menuentry "Windows XP" {

set root=(hd0,1)

chainloader (hd0,1)+1

}

EOF

and type CTRL-O to save the file, next CTRL-X to exit the editor.

Next make the script executable with this command:

Code:

sudo chmod +x 10_windows_xp

As last run this command:

Code:

sudo update-grub

and reboot after that.

Post any result and/or errors here.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hello Hassan,

I'm glad it worked out. Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards,

The correct way is to edit /etc/default/grub and change the GRUB_DEFAULT variable. Then run sudo update-grub . You will find other settings that used to be in menu.lst in this file as well.
