grub customizer 22.04?

Asked by Nick Sxz

Hi,
I've started using Ubuntu Mate 22.04.

I found instructions:
https://websetnet.net/install-grub-customizer-to-configure-the-boot-menu-in-ubuntu-22-04/

When I :
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install grub-customizer
 It gives me an error:
E: Unable to locate package grub-customizer

What am I missing?

I have universe, multiverse enabled...

I know:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/grub-customizer
doesn't exist, but:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/grub-customizer
does.

Pls help.

Nope: I really need a tool like grub-customizer to "pretty-fy" my boot menus.
I've had no problems with it since 14.04 on my dual boot Acer laptop.

There seems to be no other way to get the job done, other than manually
editing the grub cfg stuff. This is a much bigger minefield for the Noob.

Mark it "Unsupported - use at own risk" & link to a disclaimer/bug list,
but included it in a PPA for jammy use.

Thanks for your response.

There are PPAs, even for jammy, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=grub-customizer for a list of potential candidates
Use them if you want, but no warranty given from Ubuntu side.

Manfred, your hint pointed in the direction of the solution...

Looking at the PPA candidates, the 7'th one was the answer.

To install grub-customizer in 22.04/Jammy:
---
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:trebelnik-stefina/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
---
