    Don't see Windows partition in GRUB menu

    After I Installed Kubuntu 15.04 I used boot-repair to fix to be able to dual-boot but when I get to the grub menu I saw only Ubuntu I try boot-repair couple of times still the same result

    here is my boot summary from boot-repair
    http://paste.ubuntu.com/12320990/

    any help is much appreciated!!!

    Sorry, I didn't have time to check your boot summary paste.

    Boot into your K(U)buntu, open Konsole (K > Applications > System > terminal (Konsole)), then:

    type
    sudo grub-install
    press Enter
    then type
    sudo update-grub
    and press Enter

    Re-boot to test it. The update-grub builds a new and (hopefully) complete boot menu showing ALL your operating systems installed that GRUB can boot, including Windows.

          OK, now you just have to "configure" GRUB a bit. Try this, and remember to edit those files as root, not as a normal user; so you might open the files using Dolphin as root:
          kdesudo dolphin
          then find the file, open it, make the edit(s), save, exit, close Dolphin.

          Everything you need and more!

                    Try this:
                    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...ecific_Entries

                    Did you again run those commands, especially this:

                    sudo update-grub

                    I'm concerned now that your GRUB is not detecting Windows, and so is not displaying a boot menu for you to see.

                      GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

                      Make that one for sure (make sure it is not set to zero).

                            I wonder what fixed it? The update-grub? the GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 ? ...

                            Glad it works, anyway.
