grub boot order

[george dicegeorge]

Thanks,
I went to
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1664134.html
and started following its instructions

I got as far as:

1. Installation 
Synaptic:
Start Synaptic
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
Add the repository
Settings tab > Repositories > Other Software > Add
Type: ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer > Add Source > Close
Reload
Install Grub Customizer
'Quick-search' > type "grub-customizer" > Select "grub-customizer" in lower panel. 

But it said:
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/danielrichter2007/grub-customize/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/danielrichter2007/grub-customize/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

which I do not understand and time has run out for this little project today,
i’ve got too many other things to do today to search for answers to this today.

I hope that if I look again in a few weeks there’ll be something in the Ubuntu software centre.

thanks

  Thanks Ralf but
  Neither of those files exist!
  On boot it says: Grub v 1.99-21ubuntu3

  There is a file boot/grub/grub.cfg
  which begins:
  #######################
  #
  # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
  #
  # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
  # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
  #

  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
  if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
  set have_grubenv=true
  load_env
  fi
  set default="0"
  ##################
  I tried editing it in gedit to change this default,
  but its readonly
  and i dont know enough about terminal.

  Is there a GUI somewhere to tweak these things?

  I seem to remember something called ubuntu-tweak,
  but the version on my ubuntu10.04 doesnt seem to do Grub.
  ?

  GRUB2 should be the default and after a default install, Ubuntu Studio
  should be the first entry.

  Anyway, if you use Grub2 edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and if you use GRUB
  (Legacy) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst.
