Public bug reported:
I had Windows 7 installed taking a full 1TB drive. That is 100 MB
whatever (swap?) partition and the remaining of the drive allocated to
Windows 7.
Using the Installer from the Live CD (kubuntu oneric 64 bits) I was
offered the option to install 'along side' , which showed Kubuntu would
be installed in the free 500MB partition after the Windows 7 partition
would be shrunk to 500MB.
This all actually happened correctly. However...
Kubuntu does not show in the grub boot menu!
After first booting after install it directly boots into Windows 7, does
a check disk and continues into Windows without problem.
I know that the grub boot menu is normally not displayed, although I
thought it would on a dual boot installation.
I DO know how to display the boot menu after POST and doing this it
shows like 4 different ways to boot Windows, BUT NO kubuntu.
I seems like Kubuntu did not detect itself when generating the grub
menu?
Booting off the live CD shows correct Kubuntu partitions have been
created (of course as grub itself is inside /boot).
Reading on about the subject, most 'dual boot' advice pages tell to
resize the windows partition from the live CD, the reboot to windows, go
through the check procedure and then reboot to the installer and install
into the free space.
Has anyone had success following my procedure (automatically shrink
windows and install ubuntu/kubuntu in the resulting free space)?
