Bug Description
I have been searching for grubconf in Breezy or Dapper, but I have found that it has been included in the gnome-system-tools. So, in the description of that package I can read that it is that way:
-------------
Nowadays there are tools for managing:
- Users and groups
- Date and time
- Network configuration
- Bootloaders
--------------
But in the files installed there is no boot-admin executable. Where is that program? Has it been removed for any security reason?

To post a comment you must log in.
boot-admin was removed from the package because it had issues with the type of configuration files used by Ubuntu (dataloss in a program like this could make your machine unbootable).
Generally, Ubuntu kernels are automatically added to the grub menu (see the 'update-grub' manpage for details of how that happens), so you do not need to do anything special, except maybe remove old kernels after a system upgrade.
If you compile your own kernels, you can run 'update-grub' manually, or roll a package from the source using 'make-kpkg' (in kernel-package) - it has extensive documentation in its manpage and /usr/share/
If you consider that grubconf should be added to Ubuntu, please suggest it for inclusion at https:/
