I assume only one kernel is loaded, but several Ubuntu-entries apppear in the grub menu and you don't like that. If that's the case, read on:

First, look up which kernel version you are using. Do this by opening a terminal and entering "uname -r".

Now, open system->system management->synaptic package manager. Search for "linux-image". Several lines appear, some with a green button. Go to every line with a green button and starting with "linux-image-2." If the following number does _not_ match your current kernel (see above), right-click on it and choose "remove".

==============================================
Be very careful NOT to remove the package called "linux-image-generic"!
==============================================

Have fun!
