I recently installed Ubuntu on a drive that has Zorin on it. As expected, Ubuntu's Grub took precedence. I would boot the computer and Ubuntu's Grub appeared, where I could choose it or Zorin. However, after updating Zorin, I now get the Zorin Grub when booting up. Somehow Zorin took control of Grub, even though Ubuntu was the last OS installed. Any way to fix this?

This happens if there is an update to the kernel or an update to grub itself. Is there only one hard disk? sda?

Load Ubuntu. Open a terminal and run these 2 commands


sudo update-grub
sudo grub-install /dev/sda

That should put Ubuntu back in change.

Thanks, that worked! I actually had it in my Linux cheat sheet, but didn't know it would solve this. Or knew and forgot? By the way, does it matter in what order you run the commands?

Actually, you may. ;) See the first link in my signature below.

Yes, the commands must be in that order.
