I have dual boot, Ubuntu and Windows. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.4.1 LTS. Occasionally when I boot up the old version 14 starts. The top line of Grub display at boot shows only "Ubuntu"

When I close down the system and boot again 18 may start but sometimes I have to reboot several times before I get the latest Ubuntu.

How do I remove 14[boots and all :)]?

I don't know which version of grub I have - probably not grub2

Whichever version you "update-grub" from will show on top of grub menu the other lower down.

Boot 18.04 and delete partition/s of 14.xx.

sudo update-grub

and

sudo reboot

  • Thanks, 'sudo update-grub' didn't do the job. I made an 14.04 update and after that the 14.04 is UBUNTU and the 18.04 is below in boot menu... Feb 9, 2019 at 23:11
