Problem solved. Thank you very much! The other suggestions did nothing :) <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 11:24 PM, NoOp <<a href="mailto:glgxg@sbcglobal.net">glgxg@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On 03/15/2011 12:52 PM, Jacob Mansfield wrote: > > > On 15 March 2011 19:31, Cliffer Benny <<a href="mailto:cliffer.benny@gmail.com">cliffer.benny@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > >> How come every time I update Ubuntu, it adds the updated version to the top >> of the Grub boot screen? >> I've got a dozen Ubuntus to choose from. >> >> Is there an easy way to fix this? >> >> -- >> ubuntu-users mailing list >> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> >> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: >> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> >> > </div>Fixed your post: <div class="im">> sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get autoclean </div>...<snip> <div class="im">> > "When Windows™ is opened the bugs come in." > Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. > See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html</a> > > -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- </div><snip> See: <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailingListFAQs" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailingListFAQs</a> <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists</a> [Mailing list etiquette & Technical guidelines|Proper quoting:|Write your email underneath the email which you are replying to.] Note: you've been asked do this in the past. That said: just how do you figure that 'autoremove and/or 'autoclean' will resolve the OP's issue? @Cliffer: 'System|Administration|Computer Janitor' will check your system and offer to remove the excess kernels. However CJ also has a tendency to mark for removal dpkg installed packages and others that it has no business doing - and so I don't trust it. So here is what I recommend: 1. Open a terminal and issue the following commands (note the $ is the command prompt so you don't enter that bit): $ sudo update-grub That will produce an output similar to: $ sudo update-grub [sudo] password for <user>: Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-27-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-27-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-26-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-26-generic As you can see from the above, I keep 2 kernels available; the primary -28, and the previous -27. I do this because I may have issues with the latest -28 and keep the -27 to fall back on. Other than that, I see no reason to keep any older kernels (unless I am on a test system). In your case you'll most likely find many more than -28 and -27, so simply copy the kernel number (2.6.35-x) and open Synaptic: 'System|Administration|Synaptic...' and enter the kernel in the search box: 2.6.35- (and/or 2.6.32- if you've upgraded from lucid 10.04) find the ones that are not the two most recent & click the 'S' column header to sort by the one's installed. The ones installed will show with Green boxes in the 'S' Column; select all but the most recent & the last by right-clicking and select 'Mark for Complete Removal', then click 'Apply'. That will remove all but the latest two kernels. Synaptic _should_ take care of your grub menu configuration, but just to be sure I recommend opening a terminal again (Applications|Accessories|Terminal) and issuing: $ sudo update-grub You should now only see the two kernels like the output of my example. Let us know if you have any further questions. -- <div><div></div><div class="h5">ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
