[Bug 141430] Re: Other OSes added to GRUB menu even when GRUB installed to partition (not MBR)

[Phillip Susi]

If you don't want the other OSes detected and added to the menu, do sudo
chmod a-x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober and sudo update-grub.

Title:
  Other OSes added to GRUB menu even when GRUB installed to partition
  (not MBR)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  In Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy, if one chooses "Advanced" options at the
  end of the install and specifies a partition to install GRUB in
  (instead of the MBR), GRUB still adds choices for all of the other
  OSes on the system.  This makes little sense, as the primary reason
  for installing GRUB to a partition (instead of the MBR) is because one
  is using another bootloader (such as rEFIt in the case of my MacBook).

  As I am prompted to pick between all of these options on every boot,
  this can be quite annoying when I just want to install/use pre-release
  versions of Ubuntu in a separate partition.  Please change this for
  Gutsy such that other OSes do NOT get added to the boot menu when GRUB
  is installed to a partition.
