Is it possible to have grub2 replaced with burg on Ubuntu 15.04? I had it on 14.04 but I'm struggling to get it on 15.04, does there need to be in a repository for 15.04 or something like that? If so, is there a manual method in getting it?

I have two partions on the same disk, one with Windows10 and one with Ubuntu 15.04.
I followed these instructions: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-boot-loader-in-ubuntu-1304-and-linuxmint/ except for the part which allows you to choose boot drives (I didn't pick either of my drives). Then I ran...
sudo burg-install /dev/sdb
Note: my boot drive is 'sdb' And then
sudo update-burg
...and tested with
sudo burg-emu
And it works! I also tried rebooting and it works fine, I can choose theme and everything. Good luck!
I had the same problem after updating ubuntu and I got it back to work just by running:
sudo burg-install /dev/sda
Replacing /dev/sda for your hard drive and then:
sudo burg-update
NOTE: If you installed BURG using ppa:n-muench/burg apt repo, you will get 404 errors when doing apt-get update (not a big deal but a bit annoying for me). To fix this go to Software & Updates, and under Other Software tab, edit that repo and change Distribution from 'vivid' to 'utopic'.

Thank you Juan, I got that right, but now if enter
burg-emu, I can't change the theme nor can I see a theme, although I can change only one theme(debian) in grub-customizer . Also if I try to change a theme in grub-customizer it says there's no *theme.txt detected so I appended theme to theme.txt so the error would stop coming up but the theme would never show up in burg-emu ; but if I restart I can see the debian theme but there's no option to change a theme Apr 30, 2015 at 9:45
