  • On Ubuntu and Debian you can use the file `/etc/grub.d/40_custom` which is intended exactly for this:
  • Content of _/etc/grub.d/40_custom_:
  • ```bash
  • #!/bin/sh
  • exec tail -n +3 $0
  • # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
  • # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
  • # the 'exec tail' line above.
  • ```
  • Just add your menu entries there and they will be added when the grub config is recreated.
  • On Ubuntu and Debian (and their derivates) you can use the file `/etc/grub.d/40_custom` which is intended exactly for this:
  • Content of _/etc/grub.d/40_custom_:
  • ```bash
  • #!/bin/sh
  • exec tail -n +3 $0
  • # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
  • # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change

On Ubuntu there is the file `/etc/grub.d/40_custom` which is intended exactly for this:

Content of _/etc/grub.d/40_custom_:

```bash
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
```

Just add your menu entries there and they will be added when the grub config is recreated.
