That text file I posted for your new grub might fix that scrolling DOS screen, btw, the "quite splash" line ...An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment

Not sure which part of the txt file to copy? Everything top to bottom? Probably not, eh?Kubuntu 14.04 / KDE 4.13.3 / GRUB Version: 0.97-29ubuntu66

YOU are going to build a new /etc/default/grub text file, Post #270, item #3, copying mine into yours. I think it will fix the timeout and the quiet splash thingy. I'm pretty sure you can't damage anything. I'm pretty sure it work OK. Worst case: the darned grub text file you create and put in /etc/default blows things up: then we simply delete the d&mned thing (as root, or course). I'm getting the picture that during installation of Kubuntu, when you got that "GRUB didn't install" message, that the /etc/default/grub file got left out AND update-grub got cut off and didn't catch your Windows. It happens. NBD as you can always get GRUB installed somehow--by hook or by crook.
OTOH, I am going to keep going here and do some things I'd rather not be doing today. I cleaned my bathroom yesterday, at least that's done ....... I still have some work-work (for $) to do.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment

Just check it--eye ball it--make sure it looks "clean" with no weird formatting or marks or whatever at the beginning or the end. Sometimes, as you know, when you copy things, other stuff gets in there, too.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment

and when you create it, name it simply "grub" (without the quote marks)An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles BukowskiComment

read my post on it -- when you are ready to copy it into /etc/default, you have to work "as root" by opening Dolphin as root, by
kdesudo dolphin

Created the txt file; named grub. /default won't simply allow "paste". gotta try something else. Looking.Kubuntu 14.04 / KDE 4.13.3 / GRUB Version: 0.97-29ubuntu66
