Adding Protection to Ubuntu Entries subsection A piece of instruction reads Add --users : printf "menuentry '${title}' ${CLASS} --users "" {\n" "${os}" "${version}" Actually it should be --users \"\" 2. Adding Protection to Other Entries subsection Instructions in the box read: sudo sed 's/--class os /--class os --users /' -i /etc/grub.d/30_os- prober I think --users should also be changed as in the section above (I did not test this). The thing is that in case of plain menuentry instruction (without printf) --users "" work fine. But if there's printf in front of it the actual menuentry is generated in grub.cfg without those quotes. An example of broken configuration is below: menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-27-generic-pae (recovery mode)' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --users { This small issue actually broke my bootloader so I was not able to quickly figure out what had happened.
