Dear friends, I had almost no issues after upgrade, but a GRUB menu with the old linux headers appeared in my boot. In the past I had no grub menu at all, since I don't use multibooting with windows. How can I get rid of this?

Re: GRUB menu appeares after upgrade to Carmic Kohala
You have always had a Grub menu, but I suspect that you have not seen it - have you had automatic logon? Even if you don't multiboot.
You need to do two things
1) Remove old kernels. Be careful, you must not remove the current kernel. Have a look at e.g. http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3100965.0
2) You need to reinstate automatic logon. Look at e.g. http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to...r-kubuntu.html"A problem well stated is a problem half solved." --Charles F. Kettering

After much effort still cannot fix it. I will paste my grub and grub.cfg files in order to tell me what's wrong (from synaptic i permanently removed old headers)

Re: GRUB menu appeares after upgrade to Karmic Koala
Did you runto update the grub.cfg file? If yes, then logically the only answer can be that you did not actually remove the old kernel images.Code:sudo update-grub

Re: GRUB menu appeares after upgrade to Karmic Koala
any suggestions? I used synaptic to remove and then I updated grub, grub2Comment

Re: GRUB menu appeares after upgrade to Karmic Koala
Couple of notions:
1. You wrote that you removed "linux headers", but you have to remove the kernel files themselves, not just the header files. Possibly you didn't scroll down the package list and find the kernel image files.
2. I'm really getting to like the muon package manager. Maybe it's just a matter of taste, over function, but why don't you install muon and then Alt-F2 "kdesudo muon" and scroll down through all the packages that begin with "linux-" and see if you can find more packages with the older kernel numbers, that you can delete.
Then, of course,and reboot.Code:sudo update-grub

Re: GRUB menu appeares after upgrade to Karmic Koala
According to the grub.cfg you posted, you have 4 kernels installed.
2.6.35-25
2.6.35-22
2.6.32-24
2.6.32-21
To confirm this, look in /boot and you'll see these files:
System.map
vmlinuz
abi
initrd.img
memtest86+.bin
vmcoreinfo
with version numbers trailing the filenames and you'll likely have one for each kernel.
Since you're using synaptic, type just the version numbers above in the search bar and you'll get the entire list of files to remove. I think grub-pc sees the image files so you may not have removed all of them.
BTW: you might want to confirm exactly which kernel you want to boot to before you start to remove them. Usually the latest version (highest number) is the best, but test it by booting to it first - then remove all the others.
