    Where did Kgrubeditor go?

    I recently upgraded to 9.10 and when I also upgraded the KDE to 4.4 I noticed that I could no longer find kde grubeditor in the repos. Where did it go? or is there an issue with 4.4?

    Any help would be helpful.

    Not 100% sure, but I believe Kgrubeditor doesn't (yet?) work with Grub 2.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

        Well that is what I thought. Is there anyway to remove grub entries older kernels from grub2?
        I always used kgrubeditor...fast and easy!

          The same way as with the Legacy Grub, uninstall old kernels.


          I have three kernels - removing the oldest, konsole:
          Code:
          sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.31-14 linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic
          Log of sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.31-14 linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic
