''GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2'' (Grub 2) is the second version of GNU GRUB. It is the software responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel during the initial boot. Grub 2 is compatible with standard POSIX (GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS, etc) and can also connect to systems incompatible with standard POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for Unix).

GRUB 2 is a complete rewriting of the Grub interface. Based on the research project PUPA, GRUB 2 is more modular and portable that its predecessor. Some of the GRUB 2 scheduled improvements include:

    * a graphical interface, including theming;
    * modular loading;
    * cross-platform compatibility;
    * scripting support;
    * user-customized boot entries;
    * revised partition naming.

== GRUB 2 Testing ==

Grub 2 is currently at version 1.96 so users still have time to contribute to its development. Follow this link and please help out with [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing|GRUB 2 Testing.]]

== Installing / Upgrading ==

=== Installing (Ubuntu 9.10) ===

GRUB 2 will be installed by default on '''NEW''' installations of Karmic. If you have upgraded from '''Jaunty 9.04''' to '''Karmic 9.10''' you can follow the install instructions for Jaunty 9.04 below.

=== Installing (Ubuntu 9.04+) ===

If you have any problems with upgrading Grub Legacy to Grub 2 from Jaunty to Karmic, follow this bug post... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/386789

 * Open a Terminal
{{{
$ sudo apt-get install grub2
}}}
 * Select '''OK''' from grub-pc configuration
 * Select '''Chainload from menu.lst YES'''
 * At the linux command line, press '''ENTER'''

NOTE: This is only temporary, you must make the changes permanent by doing this...

 * Type, in a terminal
{{{
$ sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy
}}}

GRUB 2 will then show you where it's booting from.
{{{#!wiki warning
NB! You have to use the spacebar to mark the choice here. DO NOT go on without doing this. Iw WILL result in your system showing error 15 and being unable to even show a boot menu. If you are running a dual boot system with WindowsXP or Vista, you might have to do additional fixes after upgrading to get it to work.
}}}
If this has already happened to you, take a look at this thread to possibly help fixing the problem: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3106892.0

On my test system it displayed '''(hd0) /dev/sda''' but this might differ on your system. If this is incorrect, you must edit '''/boot/grub/device.map''' to match your system and then run
{{{
$ sudo grub-install
}}}

GRUB 2 should be fully installed, with GRUB legacy removed, and it's configuration files backed up. GRUB legacy configuration files are located in '''/boot/grub''' and are named '''menu.lst*'''

You can confirm the version you are installing at any time with:
 {{{
grub-install -v
}}}
== Grub 2 Files & Folders ==
While the main grub bootloader file continues to reside in the ''/boot/grub'' folder, it is no longer Grub's familiar ''menu.lst''. The main Grub 2 instruction file is now ''grub.cfg''. This file is produced by various scripts run when either the `"update-grub"` or `"update-grub2"` command is executed. The files primarily responsible for the content of ''grub.cfg'' are ''/etc/default/grub'' and individual script files located in ''/etc/grub.d/''

Many of the files in ''/boot/grub'' will not be familiar to users of Grub Legacy. Especially noticeable are the multitude of *.mod files in the /boot/grub folder. Grub 2 is modular and the *.mod files are loaded as necessary by grub. Despite the addition of these files, the total size of the /boot/grub contents is fairly close to that of Grub Legacy and should not require a larger /boot partition.

{{{#!wiki warning
'''DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE'''
This is the main Grub 2 file. It "replaces" Grub Legacy's ''/boot/grub/menu.lst''. This file contains the Grub menu instructions. Unlike Grub Legacy's ''menu.lst'' file, '''''grub.cfg'' is NOT MEANT TO BE EDITED!!!'''

Linea 77: Linea 12:
 * ''grub.cfg'' is automatically generated or updated whenever `"update-grub"` or `"update-grub2"` is executed. The command must be run as ''root''.
 * The scripts used to generate ''grub.cfg'' include the files contained in /etc/grub.d and information gathered from ''/etc/default/grub''
 * The file is divided into sections. Each section of the file is clearly delineated and is recognizable by the section header ''### BEGIN''. The information on this line references the file in the ''/etc/grub.d'' folder which is used to incorporate the information into ''grub.cfg''
 *By default, and whenever the `"update-grub2"` command is executed, this file is made ''read-only''. This is in keeping with the intent that the file should not be edited manually. If you must edit this file, instructions are provided later on this page.
'''Grub 2''' (''GRand Unified Bootloader, versione 2'') è la seconda versione di '''GNU Grub''', l'applicazione responsabile del caricamento e del trasferimento del controllo al kernel del sistema operativo durante la fase iniziale di ''boot''; è compatibile con lo standard [[http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX|POSIX]] ('''GNU/Linux''', '''*BSD''', '''Mac OS''', etc...) ed è anche in grado di connettersi a sistemi incompatibili con lo stesso standard.

'''Grub 2''' è una completa riscrittura dell'interfaccia di Grub. Basato sul progetto di ricerca PUPA, '''Grub 2''' è più modulare e portabile del suo predecessore. Alcuni miglioramenti includono:
 * un'interfaccia grafica, con predisposizione all'utilizzo di temi;
 * caricamento modulare;
 * compatibilità multi-piattaforma;
 * supporto all'utilizzo di script;
 * revisione dei nomi delle partizioni.

This file contains information formerly contained in the upper section of Grub Legacy's ''menu.lst'' and items contained on the end of the kernel line. The items in this file can be edited by a user with administrator (root) privileges. Grub developers have have placed explanatory comments within the file itself.
}}}
-~

 * ''GRUB_DEFAULT=0''
  * Sets the default and pre-selected menu entry. Entries may be numeric or ''saved''
  * ''GRUB_DEFAULT=0''
   * Sets the default menu entry by menu position. As with Grub Legacy, the first "menuentry" in grub.cfg is 0, the second is 1, etc.

  * ''GRUB_DEFAULT=saved''
   * Sets the default menu entry with whatever was selected on the last boot. If the menu is displayed during boot, the previously selected option will be highlighted. If no action is taken, this is selection which will be booted at the end of the timeout, or if the menu is hidden.

 * ''GRUB_TIMEOUT=5''
  * No change from Grub Legacy. This is the number of seconds before the default entry is automatically booted.
  * Setting a value of '''-1''' will display the menu until the user makes a selection (no timeout).

 * ''GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0''
  * The menu will be hidden unless a ''#'' symbol is present at the beginning of this line. ( # GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 )
  * The default setting initially depends on the presence of other operating systems.
   * Another OS Detected: The menu will be displayed. ( The line will begin with a # symbol. )
   * No other OS Detected: The menu will be hidden.
  * For integers greater than 0, the system will pause, but not display the menu, for the entered number of seconds.
  * 0 The menu will not be displayed. There will be no delay.
   *When this entry is set to 0:
    *The user may force displaying the menu as the computer boots by holding down the SHIFT key.
     *During boot, the system will check the SHIFT key status. If it cannot determine the key status, a short delay will enable the user to display the menu by pressing the ESC key.
    * If enabled, the splash screen designated in 05_debian_theme will be displayed even if the hidden menu feature is selected.

 * ''GRUB_HIDDEN_MENU_QUIET=true''
    * true - No countdown is displayed. The screen will be blank.
    * false - A counter will display on a blank screen for the duration of the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT value.

 * ''GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR''=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
  * Determines the descriptive name in the menu entry. (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Debian, etc.)

 * ''GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX''
  * If it exists, this line imports any entries to the end of the ''linux'' command line (Grub Legacy's "kernel" line) for both normal and recovery modes. This is similar to the "altoptions" line in ''menu.lst''

 * ''GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT''="quiet splash"
  *This line imports any entries to the end of the 'linux' line (Grub Legacy's "kernel" line). The entries are appended to the end of the normal mode only. This is similar to the "defoptions" line in ''menu.lst''. If you want a black screen with scrolling boot messages, remove "quiet splash". If you want a grub splash screen with limited messages underneath the Ubuntu logo, use only "splash". < ''This [only "splash"]will not work in Karmic during boot as the xsplash does not display the messages , but the messages at shutdown will be displayed.''

 * ''#GRUB_TERMINAL''=console
  * Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only).

 * ''#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID''=true
  * Uncomment this line if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux.

 * ''GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true''
  * Add or uncomment this line to prevent "Recovery" mode kernel options from appearing in the menu.

 * ''GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true''
  * Enables/disables the os-prober check of other partitions for operating systems, including Windows, Linux, OSX and Hurd.

=== /etc/grub.d/ (folder) ===
The files in this folder are read during execution of '`"update-grub2"`'command. The scripts in these files export the information they gather into ''/boot/grub/grub.cfg''

The files are run in sequential order - files with names starting with a numeral are run first, followed by files whose name begins with a letter. The order the file is run determines the location of items in the grub menu.

Custom entries can be added to the ''40_custom'' file or placed in a new file.

Any file created must be executable in order to be included in the ''grub.cfg'' file during the `"update-grub2"` command. This can be accomplished from the terminal with `"sudo chmod u+x /etc/grub.d/filename"`. The following is a very brief look at what the files accomplish.

 * ''00_header''
  * Loads settings from ''/etc/default/grub'', including visual presentations, timeout, and terminal options.

 * ''05_debian_theme''
  * Sets background, text colors, and themes.

 * ''10_hurd''
  * Locates hurd kernels.

 * ''10_linux''
  * Locates kernels based on the distributor determined by the `"lsb_release -i -s"` results ("Ubuntu").
 * ''20_memtest86+''
  * If the file /boot/memtest86+.bin exists, it is included as a menu item.

 * ''30_os-prober''
  * Searches for other OS's and includes them in the menu.

 * ''40_custom''
  * A template for adding custom menu entries which will be inserted into ''grub.cfg'' upon execution of the `"update-grub2"` command. This and any other custom files must be made executable to allow importation into ''grub.cfg''. These files are placed in the Grub menu in the numerical order of the file name.

== Adding Entries to Grub 2 ==

''grub.cfg'' is updated when `update-grub` or `update-grub2` is run. Changes to ''grub.cfg'' should be made to the appropriate script files and not to the ''grub.cfg'' file itself.

NOTE: The first comment in ''grub.cfg'' is ''"DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"''. The file is '''read-only''' and is returned to this status anytime `update-grub` is run.

=== Automatic Entries ===

  * When `"update-grub"` is executed, Grub 2 will read ''/etc/default/grub'' and the files in contained in the ''/etc/grub.d'' folder. This combination will set the visual parameters of the grub menu (''/etc/default/grub'') and search for linux kernels, other operating systems, and items designated in user-created scripts in ''/etc/grub.d''.
  The script files in ''/etc/grub.d'' perform the following tasks:
   * ''10_linux'' searches for installed linux kernels.
   * ''30_os-prober'' searches for other operating systems.
   * ''40_custom'' and any other user-created files in the ''/etc/grub.d folder'' add menu items designated in the script files created by users.
  * The name of the file determines the order in the menu. 30_os-prober entries will be placed before 40_custom entries, which will be placed before any higher-numbered entries.
  * Any user-created file must be made executable. This can be done as ''root'' by running
{{{
sudo chmod u+x /etc/grub.d/filename
}}}

=== User-defined Entries ===
Users with "root" privileges can create scripts in the ''/etc/grub.d/'' folder which will be incorporated into the ''grub.cfg'' file when `update-grub` is run.
 * The filename should normally take the format ''XX_name'', with ''XX'' being a number followed by an underscore and name.
 * The order the entry appears on the grub menu is based on numerical ordering of the files in ''/etc/grub.d''. Executable files in the ''/etc/grub.d'' folder beginning with an alphabetic character are placed in order ''following'' numerical entries.
 * The file must be made executable by typing in a terminal
{{{
sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/'''filename'''
}}}

 * A sample custom entry. This file creates menu items for running a SystemRescueCD installation on sdb10 and a custom kernel on sda1.

'''NOTE:''' The new partition naming convention. Devices start counting from ''0'' as done previously. sd'''a''' is designated as "hd0", sd'''b''' is "hd1", etc. However the first ''partition'' is now designated as ''sda'''1'''''. Counting ''partitions'' does ''not'' start with "0". The '''fifth''' partition on ''sda'' is ''sda'''5''''').

  * The line ''"echo "Adding SystemRescueCD" >&2"'' is not required. Including it in the file allows this line to be seen in the terminal when `"update-grub2"` is executed. It provides visual feedback that the entry has been found and entered. The entry, if in the correct format, will be inserted in ''grub.cfg'' whether or not this line is included in the file.

 * Manual Editing of ''grub.cfg''
  * If you ''must'' edit this file:
  {{{
sudo chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg # Remove 'read-only', necessary even for "root"
sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg # Edit as "root"
}}}
  * Note: This file is returned to 'read-only' status and user inputs are overwritten anytime the `"update-grub"` command is run.


=== Removing Entries from Grub 2 ===
Entries should be removed by editing or removing files in the ''/etc/grub.d folder''. The ''/boot/grub/grub.cfg'' file is read-only and should not normally be edited directly.

 * Automatically.
  * Kernels removed by Synaptic will automatically update ''grub.cfg'' and no user action is required.
  * Other operating systems which have been removed from the computer will also be removed from the menu once `"update-grub2"` is run as ''root''.

 * Manually.
  * To prevent a file in ''/etc/grub.d'' from adding items to the menu, remove the ''executable'' bit or remove the applicable file.
  * '''''memtest86+''''': If you don't want to have ''memtest86+'' displayed in your menu, run `sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+`. The file will remain but will not be acted upon by ''update-grub''.
  * '''''Recovery mode:''''' If you don't want ''Recovery mode'' entries for your linux kernels, edit ''/etc/default/grub'' and add this line:
   {{{
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true
}}}
  * If a custom script in the ''/etc/grub.d/'' folder contains multiple menu entries, individual items may be removed and others retained.
  * Tip: If the user wants his custom entries to appear at the top of the menu, the file can be named a value less than ''"10_linux"'', such as ''"07_custom"''. Check that the ''"DEFAULT"'' value in ''/etc/default/grub'' points to the correct ''menuentry'' after making this change.
  * Changes will not take effect on the Grub 2 menu until `"update-grub"` is run to update ''grub.cfg''

== Theming ==

'''As of version 1.96 of GRUB 2, theme support is not enabled'''

The GRUB graphical menu supports themes that can customize the layout and appearance of the GRUB boot menu. The theme is configured through a plain text file that specifies the layout of the various GUI components (including the boot menu, timeout progress bar, and text messages) as well as the appearance using colors, fonts, and images.

Take a look at this thread on [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1182436|Grub 2 Themeing]]

=== Splash Images ===

This is Colin Bennett's Google Summer of Code project. The [[http://grub.gibibit.com/|GRUB 2 graphical menu project]] aims to create a highly customizable graphical menu system for the GNU GRUB bootloader.

Great link [[http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2%20Splashimages.html|here.]]

=== Background Colors/Image ===

Background colors and images are configured in a script located in '''/etc/grub.d/''' if you look in there you will find a file called '''05_debian_theme''' which is the default color scheme for GRUB 2. Now to create your own color scheme you have a few options, you can copy and edit the default 05_debian_theme or create your own script.

All the files in /etc/grub.d/ are run in order, so if you have 2 theme files, 05_debian_theme and 06_mytheme, the latter (06_mytheme) will be run last, which will be the background you see.

==== Copy/Edit Default Colors ====
 * Copy the default color theme
{{{
$ sudo cp /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.BACKUP
$ sudo nano /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
}}}
 * Now you can edit the file to your hearts content.

==== Create a new theme file ====

 * Create the new theme file
{{{$ sudo nano /etc/grub.d/06_mytheme}}}
 * Now you can put whatever you want in here

== Commands ==

As GRUB 2 has been totally re-written, there are now some commands you might be used to in GRUB legacy that don't exist in GRUB 2. Take a look at the Grub 2 Command's List [[http://grub.enbug.org/CommandList|here.]]

'''SHIFT''' now allows you to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible', for consistency with the quick-boot scheme.


== Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD ==

 * First, grab a copy of the latest [[http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download|Ubuntu LiveCD]] and boot it.
 * Open a terminal and type
{{{$ sudo fdisk -l}}}
 * Now, you need to remember which device listed is your linux distribution, for reference, /dev/sda1 will be used. Now we need to mount the filesystem to /mnt
{{{$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt}}}
 *If you have /boot on a separate partition, that need's to be mounted aswell. For reference, /dev/sda2 will be used.
{{{$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot}}}
''Make sure you don't mix these up, pay attention to the output of FDISK''
  Now mount the rest of your devices
{{{$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev}}}
 * Now chroot into your system
{{{$ sudo chroot /mnt}}}

You should be chroot'd into your system as root, you can now run commands as root, without the need for sudo.

 * Now you need to edit the '''/etc/default/grub''' file to fit your system
{{{$ nano /etc/default/grub}}}
 * When that is done you need to run '''update-grub''' to create the configuration file.
{{{$ update-grub}}}
 * To install GRUB 2 to the MBR, next you need to run '''grub-install /dev/sda'''
{{{$ grub-install /dev/sda}}}
 * If you encounter any errors, try '''grub-install --recheck /dev/sda'''
{{{$ grub-install --recheck /dev/sda}}}
 * Press Ctrl+D to exit out of the chroot.
 * Once you exit back to your regular console, undo all the mounting, first the /dev
{{{$ sudo umount /mnt/dev}}}
 * Now you can unmount the root system
{{{$ sudo umount /mnt}}}
 * And you should be free to restart your system right into GRUB 2 and then into your system installation.

=== Where did my Grub2 boot menu go!?!?! ===

According to an email that was sent out today Monday, August 10, 2009 with the newest Grub2 update, the boot menu is hidden by default now. It's easy to get it back, just edit '''/etc/default/grub''' and comment out '''GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT'''
{{{
$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub
}}}
Make your timeout line look like this...
{{{
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3
GRUB_TIMEOUT=XXX <---Make sure you put in a timeout value here.
}}}
Save the file and exit, then run...
{{{
$ sudo update-grub
}}}
=== Dual-booting ===
Following this thread on the forums, users have seemed to come up with a Karmic work around for fixing your dual-boot problems...

{{{
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdebian-installer4
$ sudo os-prober
$ sudo update-grub
}}}

=== --no-floppy ===

It seems after an update yesterday Monday June 22, 2009 that some users are experiencing a --no-floppy error. There is a simple workaround to this. Check out this [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1194714&page=2|thread]]

 * Edit your boot command with '''E'''
 * Remove all entries of '''--no-floppy'''
 * Boot into Ubuntu and backup your GRUB 2 configuration
{{{$ sudo cp /etc/grub/grub.cfg /etc/grub/grub.cfg.backup}}}
 * Then edit your configuration
{{{$ sudo nano /etc/grub/grub.cfg}}}
 * Delete all entries of '''--no-floppy'''

=== unkown command 'initrd' ===

This error came after upgrading from Jaunty 9.04 to Karmic 9.10 on June 23, 2009. The work around was to remove the search line from the boot line. Take a look [[http://imagebin.ca/view/eCL6fVac.html|here]] and notice the '''search --fs-uuid''' line and remove it.

 * Press `E` to edit your boot line
 * Remove the `search --fs-uuid` line completely
 * Press `Ctrl-C` to enter the GRUB command line
 * Type in `insmod linux` and press `ENTER`
 * Press `ESC` to go back
 * `CTRL-X` to boot

Once you get into your system you need to re-install grub to your device, mine was sda

 * `sudo grub-install /dev/sda`

This fixed the problem and now booting is back to normal.

=== sleep 'invalid number 0.1' ===

'''***Fix released June 24, 2009***'''

Floating sleeps was built in, but not configured in the newest version of busybox, here's the fix.
 
 * Add dupondje's [[https://launchpad.net/~dupondje/+archive/ppa|PPA]]
{{{
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dupondje/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/dupondje/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
}}}
 * Update & Upgrade
{{{$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade}}}
 * Update initramfs
{{{$ sudo update-initramfs -uk all}}}

=== Error 11 ===
==== After upgrading from GRUB Legacy ====
Error 11: Unrecognized device string...
 * press any key to continue
 * highlight "Chainload into GRUB 2"
 * press e
 * highlight "root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
 * press e
 * change "root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to "uuid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
 * press b to boot "uuid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
 * load your kernel and press enter

Introduzione

Grub 2 (GRand Unified Bootloader, versione 2) è la seconda versione di GNU Grub, l'applicazione responsabile del caricamento e del trasferimento del controllo al kernel del sistema operativo durante la fase iniziale di boot; è compatibile con lo standard POSIX (GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS, etc...) ed è anche in grado di connettersi a sistemi incompatibili con lo stesso standard.

Grub 2 è una completa riscrittura dell'interfaccia di Grub. Basato sul progetto di ricerca PUPA, Grub 2 è più modulare e portabile del suo predecessore. Alcuni miglioramenti includono:

  • un'interfaccia grafica, con predisposizione all'utilizzo di temi;
  • caricamento modulare;
  • compatibilità multi-piattaforma;
  • supporto all'utilizzo di script;
  • revisione dei nomi delle partizioni.

Grub 2 è attualmente alla versione 1.96 ed è ancora possibile contribuire al suo sviluppo. Per informazioni su come contribuire ai test di Grub 2, consultare la documentazione inglese.
