When I first installed Mint Elyssa I got a nice looking themed GRUB menu. I wanted to make some changes to it like making Windows the first and default entry (sorry it's just so that my wife doesn't get confused !!) so I installed a bit of software using Synaptic called QGRUB editor. This allowed me to easily make the changes I wanted but now I have lost the attractive Mint GRUB and have an ugly looking blue box with plain white text for the options. Please cam anyone tell me how to restore the GRUB menu as per the default installation?

I am new to Linux so please can you explain anything using Terminal in a simple step-by-step manner - Thanks

1st backup.

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst

Then open menu.lst

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Now add this line to the top of the file
