[Solved] Select OS to boot into on reboot

[Alan Dacey (grokit)]

Thanks for the advice but dual booting is not my issue.  My grub is fine and I know my way around it.  This was a question of rebooting via the KDE shutdown gui and having grub automagically go into a certain entry.  There are scripts that can do this but that is not what I am looking for.  It was a feature of kdm but not a feature of lightdm.
