Help Me Enjoy [Install] Kubuntu Please

So try Post #256 now, if you can. Then I have another idea I can drop. Then I'll have to break away.

There's a grub config file in /boot/grub

Looks spooky.

Back to Post #241:

When you see that "blue screen" again, hit ANY key, like the Up Arrow key, quickly. Does that freeze the screen for you? then select Windows to boot?

Maybe try that first.

[Qqmike]

Oh boy. Sounds like your GRUB is messed up. There's a way to fix it, and that's another trip ...

[Qqmike]

I'm assuming I'm looking for a .txt in /default named grub

More precisely:

You are looking for a .txt in /etc/default named grub.

[logan01]

So, again, just to be clear,


You are navigating through etc then to default then to the text file grub but you don't see the grub?

Correct. No grub.

[logan01]

I'm assuming I'm looking for a .txt in /default named grub. No "g" lettered .txt file at all. They go from "d" to "h".

[Qqmike]

So, again, just to be clear,

/etc/default/grub

So, /etc is a folder (same as directory)
/default is a folder (same as directory)
and grub is a text file (editable by you, as root)

You are navigating through etc then to default then to the text file grub but you don't see the grub?

[logan01]

They are all txt files in /default, and in alphabetical order and there is no grub.

[logan01]

They are all black / white text files or folders and there is no grub in /default. There's a grub.d folder in /etc but I don't think that's it.

[Qqmike]

there is no grub in /default.

Yes there is. It's a text file, not a folder.

btw, to refresh your Kubuntu forums screen, hit the What's New button (top left of your screen) -- then you can see the latest posts.

Back to my Post #231:

You can navigate to the file /etc/default/grub by opening Dolphin (in the K > menu, for now you don't need to open it as root), click the red root in Places (on the left side bar), and go from there, clicking folders to open them -- one-click should open them, or you can configure it so one click does the trick, I think one-click is default in Kubuntu. Make sure that line is not zero:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
(10 seconds seems to be the default setting on my systems--plenty of time to see the GRUB boot menu showing Windows and K(U)buntu.)
