Have more than one distribution on my machine. Of course, the last distribution installed (Xubuntu) is the one that is used for booting. How do I get the system to use the Kubuntu (and KDM) distribution?

Thanks in advance,

Grub

To use the Grub from a specific installation (grub version) - start with the installation and re-install the grub with the command:

sudo grub-install /dev/sdX

sdX is your boot partition.


To set the default entry. The KDE has a gui: kde-config-grub2. Install it and System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Grub2 Bootloader

On a roll...

Worked like a charm. After "grub-install", did a "grub-update", and all my distros are now listed.

Thank much.
