Sollecitato dai commenti ricevuti, ricapitolo i principali strumenti esistenti per mettere mano a GRUB, il boot loader predefinito in ubuntu:
- Ubuntu Bootloader Manager
- StartUp Manager
- GrubED
- QGrubEditor
- … a mano!
Ubuntu Bootloader Manager è un ottimo progamma, inserito nel Google Summer of Code. Molto promettente, ma attualmente è il più “complicato” da installare.
link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootloaderManager
installazione:
Per ora l’unico modo per testare l’applicazione, ancora in fase alpha e dunque potenzialmente instabile, consiste nello scaricare i sorgenti attraverso il version control system Bazaar (qui un tutorial per l’utilizzo). [via ossblog]
SUM (StartUp Manager) è un ottimo programma :-), sarà inserito nei repos universe per la imminente Gutsy. Ha la faccia di essere il “prescelto”. Molto gnome…
link: http://web.telia.com/~u88005282/sum/
installazione:
Aggiungete ai vostri repos anche ubuntusoftware
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
inserite la riga
deb http://ubuntusoftware.info/ feisty all
Aggiornate e installate
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated startupmanager
GrubED è un ottimo programma :-D, da compilare a manina, ma in rapido sviluppo. Per ora è – a mio avviso – il meno user-friendly, con tutte le schermatine singole e non con le schede come gli altri due.

installazione: vedi post precedente
QGrubEditor è un ottimo progamma ;-), a prima vista più completo nella possibilità di settare i parametri dei vari OS da caricare. Da tenere d’occhio. Per la traduzione italiana chiedete a Divilinux 😀
link:http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show.php/QGRUBEditor?content=60391
installazione: è spiegato nel link indicato, in sostanza dipende dalle librerie qt4
sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt4-dev
e poi si installa il deb scaricato (per ubuntu)
dpkg -i qgrubeditoretcetc
[via informatix]
Se invece vi piace la riga di comando, potete sempre cambiare a mano i vari parametri.
sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
In ogni caso, è bene documentarsi 🙂
Ubuntu non fa per me 
Ce ne è anche un altro… si chiama QGrubEditor e puoi vederlo qui 😉
grazie, aggiungo nella lista!
Ah… esiste anche il pacchetto .deb… buon a sapersi.. io nn l’avevo trovato 🙂
può darsi l’abbiano aggiunto ultimamente (la pagina del software è stata aggiornata il 4 settembre…).
grazie ancora per la segnalazione.
de nada 😉
ho aggiunto il tuo link nel mio blog… se vuoi ricambiare accetto volentieri 🙂
ciao

platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Many thanks!
Sweet blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
Really no matter if someone doesn’t be aware of afterward its up to other users that they will help, so here it happens.
Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to your blog before but after looking at a few of the posts I realized it’s new to
me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely pleased I discovered it and I’ll be
bookmarking it and checking back often!
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
put the shell to her ear and screamed. There
was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this
is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Appreciating the time and effort you put into your site and in depth information you provide.
