Ubuntu Lucid Lynx now comes with version 2 of the grub. One of the annoying things with Ubuntu's update is the frequent Kernel update's. And every time there is a kernel update there appears a bunch of entries in your grub. So this post is basically going to help you get rid unwanted entries in the grub in a simple way.
Not much to do actually. Its a very simple 2 step process. There are many grub menu edit methods using which you can just edit the grub. But what i have here is completely deleting the older kernel from your system.
So if you consider the above image, kernel 2.6.32-22 is the latest version in the system. If there are only 2 version of kernel in your system then you might want to keep the previous version as a backup.
Basically if your deleting then you start by typing the command
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic
If you have multiple kernels to be deleted then repeat the above step.
Next you have to update your grub. This is done by the simple command..
Next you have to update your grub. This is done by the simple command..
sudo apt-get upgrade grub
Now restart and you see your grub is all cleaned up! :)
