All the commands must be executed as root. To switch to the root user, you can
enter the following command in Ubuntu:
sudo su
enter your own (user) password, then repeat the steps described above. (Or you
can start every command with "sudo".)
Oops, /etc/default/grub.cfg should be /boot/grub/grub.cfg. This file can be
edited only by executing the update-grub command (again, as root--everything
involving GRUB need be done as root, or with root privilege).
