How to display the GRUB2 menu from the command line [duplicate]

  • 772

I know how to use sudo grub-set-default # but I do not know how I can determine what the order is to specify the default boot (without booting and observing the menu).

Is there some way to get grub to echo the menu from the command line? How can I figure out what 0, 1, 2, etc., are in grub without booting?

    find your windows entry in grub.cfg and copy to grub default like this Vista entry - If you edit your windows command use the edited copy as this must match the title exactly:

    cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg

    and copy title into grub_default here:

    sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=0

    change to comment # or delete old and add new :

    #GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows Vista (on /dev/sda1)"

    Then do:

    sudo update-grub
