Probably you have more than one kernels installed. Grub menu show up to give you the option to boot from another kernel. (Previous Linux versions).

Try to remove the old kernels and test again.

A quick and easy way to remove old kernels is via "janitor" of Ubuntu-Tweak program.

Installation of Ubuntu Tweak via terminal.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

Thanks

You mean from terminal ?

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-xxxx-xxxx

where xxxxx is the number of the kernel you want to remove.

For example

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic

If you want help for this , then give the results of below command

ls /boot/

Thanks

Hi, please note, that 'linux-headers' packages also should be removed (e.g. 'linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic').

Can you help with this problem?
