Hope that clarifies things a little for you 80) always create backups of important system files before tinkering with them! There's a brief guide on editing here ()Īpparently just removing the old kernel version using synaptic will remove the entry in the grub boot list anyway, though I haven't tried it myself. you can then safely remove its entry in the grub list if you feel the need, or remove the old kernel entirely using synaptic.įor those who are feeling adventurous the file to edit is /boot/grub/menu.lst though if you don't know what you're doing with it then you can get into trouble fast. handy to leave the entry in the grub boot list till you've restarted and tested that the new kernel works and nothing is wrong.


This is because a new kernel version has been installed. The other thing when i restarted i ended up with 4 ubuntu entries in Grub (on start up) usually theres only 2 ubuntu and the recovery console.
