Input your password (no visual feedback while typing) when it prompts and hit Enter to continue.
2. After added the PPA, run commands one by one to refresh package cache and install Grub Customizer:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
Once installed, launch the software from your application launcher and enjoy!

I am using a dual operating system and using grub customizer can i get two icon of ubuntu and windows to select the operating system when i power on my lapi and got to it…. can u hep me how to make it
I don’t think you can do that. Why can’t you just read the words on GRUB?
Hey ml you can just skip the aptitude update – its new in 18.xx when adding PPA 😉
This new version does NOT list the other operating systems that are installed on my system, ONLY Ubuntu.
Sometimes if you have problems that grub-customizer does not see the other OS such as Windows, then you could try going to “File” and choose “Install to MBR” and in the “General Settings” tab make sure that “look for other operating systems” is checked.
Thanks for this help……
Thank you very much for your help. I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and its instructions worked perfectly.

hi, and how to install without repository?
Go to the PPA packages page, grab the .deb package and install it manually on your machine.
Thank you! It worked.
