First try 'sudo update-grub' from Ubuntu. See if it adds Debian<br>
entries to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.<br>
If it doesn't then do 'sudo grub-install /dev/<disk_device>'. The disk<br>
device is likely to be sda but you can make sure that using sudo fdisk<br>
-l.<br>
Once the Debian entries are added boot into Debian and then do<br> grub-install from Debian.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ubuntu had in fact detected the other OS's. But the issue was that I would not be able to boot once I wipe the Ubuntu partition. So sudo update-grub from both Ubuntu and Debian did the same thing. Didn't passover control to Debian. </div>
