Can someone who knows what they're talking about please answer this question. (And someone who knows not to top-post). running update-grub will overwrite any changes I make to grub's configs. It *should* detect any other systems and automatically add them. It's detecting the other system and not adding it. I don't need to be told how to make things executable. I need to understand why grub isn't adding the other system. What happened to this list? Is it now entirely manned by n00bs? Edit grub configs and then run update-grub? Really? Ubuntu...WTF? Is this not the Debian User list?
