[SOLVED] Remove kubuntu from dual boot

[kli6891]

I have kubuntu dual boot with ubuntu, both 8.04.1.

Now I want to delete kubuntu to make more room for ubuntu.

How do I do that, and configure Grub afterwards?


thanks in advance!

So you're really dual booting two installations of Ubuntu, one with GNOME and one with KDE? That's a bit wasteful. You should simply install Ubuntu once, and add to it whatever desktop environments you like.

Open up GParted and delete the partition that you don't want. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab to reflect the changes. You might need to reinstall the bootloader.

Could you tell me the command to reinstall the bootloader?

Thanks.

Restoring the GRUB bootloader (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows).

If the system fails to boot after manipulating partitions, reinstall the bootloader as described.

Okay, it worked.

Thanks a lot!
