Question #77355 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77355

Tom proposed the following answer:
Right, so lets try this.  First make a backup of menu.lst by typing

cd /boot/grub
ls
sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst-190709
ls

Note the "ls" is a lower-case "LS".  The sudo command will ask for your
normall user password, not your SuperUser/Root one.  We need to use sudo
because /boot/grub is a system folder so it's protected from normal user
accidents.  The "cp" command should create a CoPy of "menu.lst" and give
it the name "menu.lst-190709" so that we can easily find the right one
and copy it back if this goes wrong!  The 2nd "ls" should confirm that
the new file "menu.lst-190709" has been added to the LiSt of what's in
the /boot/grub folder :)

Is that all working so far?
