how to change boot order Lubuntu 11.04? [Solved]

Keeping Lubuntu 11.04 updated results in Grub 1.99. To boot windows xp first I have used Startupmanager But this does not work with Grub 1.99.

How, then, do I edit /etc/default/grub. In gnome, I know the command is sudo gedit /etc/default/grub. What would be the equivalent in Lubuntu/LXDE? I have search here and in general but cannot find Exactly how to do this.

Thanks for any help.

I used the following technique:

1. install gedit: "sudo apt-get install gedit"

2. sudo gedit etc/default/grub

3. edit to desired boot preference and save.

4. sudo update-grub and reboot

Approach (1):
If you know how to configure GRUB manually then:

Code: Select all

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub
The default text editor in LXDE (and Lubuntu) is Leafpad. No need to install any other Text Editor but that's my opinion :)


Approach (2):
Grub Customizer
