I have a Windows 7/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS dual boot and I've been using it with the Windows boot loader for a while. After a while, when I choose Ubuntu in the Windows boot loader I am redirected to the Ubuntu grub, where I can choose again between Windows and Ubuntu. How can I remove the grub?

Thanks in advance

You can use Grub Customizer or edit grub manually to disable grub menu from showing up and make Ubuntu default choice. That way you will no longer face a choice again and will directly boot to Ubuntu. I don't think you will want to really "remove" grub because you cannot boot Ubuntu without it.

If Ubuntu is the first choice in grub menu, while editing grub manually just changing GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 should be enough.

So,

  • start Terminal and type gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
  • change timeout to 0 in opening text editor
  • type sudo update-grub

you should be done.

If Ubuntu is not appearing as first choice in your grub menu, you also need to change that.

  • I tried in both the ways (grub customizer and edit grab manually) and even with TIMEOUT=0 it doesn't start automatically. What should I do? – Nkl Apr 21 '15 at 13:44
