Firstly, I have my Vista OS, then I wanna use UBUNTU only, so I install Ubuntu succesfull replace to Vista OS. after that I can't boot to Ubuntu but I still see Boot WIndows menu with ERROR. I tried to use boot-repair by USB with LIVE UBUNTU and now I am typing this ASK by Ubuntu. But i had the problem that I have to chose GRUB menu with WINDOWS 7 (it show windows 7 i/o Vista lol) and Ubuntu. So i want to boot to UBUNTU not via this GRub menu directly.

This is my paste.ubuntu.com/7934349/ so pls help me to fix it with as much details as much help for me.

    You could install grub customiser and change how long grub shows for and the boot order. – Tim Aug 02 '14 at 16:05
  • Do you want to remove Windows completely and install Ubuntu? Or do you want to have a dual boot system, with both Ubuntu and Windows? – Alvar Aug 02 '14 at 16:10
  • tks you, i want to remove completely Windows boot (I already delete the phycical drive Windows and Install Ubuntu on this) – tranphungan Aug 02 '14 at 16:18
  • Why not just reinstall Ubuntu all over again, because you shouldn't have any NTFS records left after installing Ubuntu. – Alvar Aug 02 '14 at 16:53

Initial Default

  1. If no other operating system is detected GRUB 2 will boot straight into the default operating system and no menu will be displayed.
  2. If another operating system is detected the GRUB 2 menu will display.

Timed Display

  1. The menu is displayed for a predetermined number of seconds. The default entry is highlighted and other selections may be made by the user until the timeout expires. The default timeout is 2 seconds. The timer continues until any key is pressed or the highlighted entry is selected by pressing ENTER.

  2. If no user input is made GRUB 2 boots the default entry at the end of the timeout period.

  3. Once a key has been pressed the timeout is deactivated and the user must make a selection manually.

  4. The default entry is determined by the GRUB_DEFAULT= setting in /etc/default/grub; the first "menuentry" has a value of "0".

Hidden

  1. Normal Hidden Operations Enabled:

    1. No menu entries are displayed. The splash screen, if configured,will be displayed.
    2. The time the screen remains blank but available for display is determined by a setting in /etc/default/grub (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT)
    3. GRUB 2 can display a countdown timer to provide visual feedback on the time remaining until the default selection is chosen. The timeout setting is enabled in /etc/default/grub (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET)

    4. The user may display the menu by pressing any key.

      1. Once the menu displays, the GRUB_TIMEOUT counter begins. Pressing any key stops the countdown.
        1. If no key is pressed by the end of the timeout the default entry determined by settings in /etc/default/grub will be selected.

  2. Hidden Menu Operations Not Expected (Abnormal):

    1. The user may be able to display the menu in one or more of the following ways:
      1. Holding down the SHIFT key early in the boot process until the menu displays.
        1. GRUB 2 searches for a depressed SHIFT key signal during boot. If the key is pressed or GRUB 2 cannot determine the status of the key, the menu is displayed.
      2. Pressing the ESC key during a 3 second window as GRUB 2 runs

You can follow the steps in here to change default boot entry to Ubuntu and to change default timeout: How do I set the grub timeout and the grub default boot entry?

  • paste.ubuntu.com/7934349/ pls check this one and guide me to boot to Ubuntu – tranphungan Aug 02 '14 at 16:48
  • If manually editing grub config seems difficult, I'd recommend what @Tim suggests. Install grub customizer gui application and you could easily delete, modify boot entries with just a few clicks. – Gayan Weerakutti Aug 02 '14 at 18:07
