I'm sorry, I wrote the wrong command. The command should have been *sudo chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg* (Not +x) After you are done with the editing run *sudo chmod -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg* The commands Prasad has posted will also work. To remove memtest+ entries of the installation which is having

Thank you Ajith, Prasad I did it by directly editing the grub.cfg. I still don't see why they prevent editing the file. I mean the grub.cfg file is properly commented and hence easily understandable... I think directly editing the grub.cfg file is more convenient cause less errors, compared to

To edit grub.cfg Navigate to /boot/grub/ in terminal. *sudo chmod +x grub.cfg* Now open the file in some editor as superuser. Rearranging the *menuentry* (ie. *menuentry OS { blah...blah...}* ) will rearrange the order of listings. To remove memtest+ entries either comment those menuentries or

Just have a look at my grub.cfg that I generated after edting /etc/default/grub and config files in /etc/grub.d/. If you can take a look you will notice that it is very much different from a normal grub.cfg. Especially note that there is no memtest+ entries. *I have not edited this grub.cfg file,

You can edit the grub in Karmic too. Either you can make the /boot/grub/grub.cfg writable and edit it, which is not adviced. Or you can edit the configuration files inside /etc/grub.d/ and /etc/default/grub, and then run *sudo update-grub* to build the grub.cfg according to new configuration

@ Ajith I think '/etc/default/grub' can only change the priority, timeout etc. What I really want is to change the order of the entries displayed on grub. I'm dual booting with XP, in grub, the XP appears in bottom (5th line). I want to move it upwards to 2nd line so that I could select XP
