Skip grub OS selection screen

[gofurygo]

Hello

Im using the following system setup:

When I boot my business computer, I can choose between 3 setups, 2 Windows XP, 1 DOS. I installed Ubuntu with 1 Windows XP system which looks something like this:

System 1 (XP)
System 2 (XP) --> after selection, Im able to choose between the XP system and Ubuntu on a new screen
System 3 (DOS)

Now interesting for me is obviously System 2. After I select System 2, I can choose between XP and Ubuntu. After I select Ubuntu, I come to another screen, where I can choose again between 4 Ubuntu entries with different kernel versions (including their recovery modes) AND both XP systems (yes, again).

I installed Grub Customizer. I removed all the XP entries and all but 1 Ubuntu entry from this screen. I also set the timeout until booting Ubuntu on this screen to 1 second to start as quick as possible and Ubuntu boots fine.

My question now is, is there a way to skip the screen with former kernel and XP selection and boot Ubuntu directly after already choosing (between XP and Ubuntu) on the first screen? I know, 1 second "waiting" is not too bad:D but skipping the screen completly would be superb. I played with Grub customize, but cant seem to find the appropriate setting... Hope you guys can light me up...

Thanks in advance

I think you've installed Ubuntu inside Windows using the Wubi installer.

Please post the complete output of this command.


cat /etc/default/grub

This link shows how to hide grub when it detects a multi-os situation. But it's not recent and grub has changed a bit, so the scripts may look a little different.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:hide_menu:

You want to be careful - not hiding it - but deleting older kernels from the grub menu. They're useful if you have a problem booting the current kernel.

Yes you are absolutely right, I used the wubi installer. Here is the output you asked for:
