Hide windows from boot menu?

Question

linux

My home laptop has Windows 7 + Ubuntu on top. At startup, the bootloader menu (grub) appears where several options for starting Linux and Windows are selected with the last line.
Question: is it possible to hide Windows from this menu so that by pressing the magic button it appears or immediately loads? Those. so that there are no reminders about not loading.

Answer 1

1) copy-paste the line related to Windows from grub.cfg to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom, rename as needed
2) delete the ill-fated os-prober
3) sudo update-grub

Answer 2

And if you are not too lazy to type a few lines for the sake of Windows, then you can completely remove the mention of it from the menu:
1) Disable prober: sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
2) Update the menu: sudo update-grub
During boot, when the menu appears, press the 'c' key - we see the grub console. We type: We see Windows. If it is not on the first partition of the disk, you need to write to .
root (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
boot
root(hd0,1)root(hd0,номер раздела с Windows)

Answer 3

 cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep title
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.15.1.el5)
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.11.1.el5)
title CentOS (2.6.18-164.el5)
title WinXP

Rename the entry "WinXP", for example, to "CentOS failsafe (2.6.18-164.el5)"
Optionally, set a password for grub.

Answer 4

it is possible, but not quite so, it can be disguised, say, as an outdated version of the kernel, or it can be excluded from the boot, but then you have to manually write the initialization path.
And how to do it depends on the
version of brute, you can find out the version of brute with the command
dpkg -l | grep grub
and already dance from this

Answer 5

You can generally hide the menu with the parameter GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUTfrom /etc/default/grub, more details here .

Answer 6

Perhaps the directory /etc/grub.dcontains a file 30_os-proberthat update-grubWindows finds on command and writes it to grub.cfg. Then this os-prober needs to be edited so that it calls Windows somehow differently.

Answer 7

menuentry "${LONGNAME} (on ${DEVICE})" {
If there is only one version of Windows, you can replace a little higher with
menuentry "В кавычках просто указать нужное название" {

Answer 8

The easiest way is to use this software:

True, it's Guyo. But the hotkeys in the hornbeam menu are just dreams. eight)

Answer 9

A long time ago, I set myself redhat 7.2, when I turned on the computer, it loaded automatically (even the rough menu was not displayed). But if you press shift when loading, then it appears rude, where you can already select Windows or Red Hat ... I don’t know how it’s done now, I think fellow Linux users know :-)

Answer 10

In the file /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober comment out set timeout_style=menu

adjust_timeout () {
  if [ "$quick_boot" = 1 ] && [ "x${found_other_os}" != "x" ]; then
    cat << EOF
#set timeout_style=menu <-- Закомментировать эту строку
if [ "\${timeout}" = 0 ]; then
  set timeout=10
fi
EOF
  fi
}

In the /etc/default/grub file, make it look like

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=countdown
