Uninstall Kubuntu from a dual-boot with Ubuntu?
I have a multi-boot system with Windows 7, Ubuntu 15.04, and Kubuntu 15.04 installed in that order. At the moment, I think my system boots through Kubuntu's GRUB. My Windows is installed on an NTFS partition (sda2); and all within an extended partition sda2: I have my Kubuntu ext4 (sda7), Ubuntu ext4 (sda6), and swap (sda5) partitions.
How can I properly uninstall Kubuntu leaving behind Windows and Ubuntu?
I don't think I can simply delete my Kubuntu partition using GParted from Ubuntu and run sudo update-grub
can I?
Solution 1:
Try this:
Boot the computer from Ubuntu.
Open a terminal,
Press Ctrl+Alt+T
Run it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub-common grub2-common
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
sudo gparted
Delete the partition using GParted, close it and continue running:
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
