    Hello guys, I've done a fresh install of win10 and elementary OS loki (dual boot; I used freya before) and now I can't install grub customizer anymore and my PC is booting into elementary by default instead of into win10. I use both, but I want to boot into win10 by default.

    In freya I used to use this: https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer but in Loki I can't add the repository through the terminal and I'm not very good at installing tar.gz files. Any help? :/ If someone could tell me the command lines for the tar.gz installation I could try that. All i know is that I need to -> CD Downloads/Grub-Customizer[version] and from there on I don't know what to do. The commands from the readme file are not working for some reason...

    TL: DR - need a method to install Grub Customizer in Loki :)

    Tried to reproduce this with the PPA, but the PPA works fine in my Loki :D

    Code (Text):
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
    grub-customizer

    Could you try it again? Otherwise we can go through the compile commands :) (have to try it out first too)

    Hey there. Thanks for your answer. I'm getting this message when I use the "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer" command:

    "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found"

    What could have caused this?

    Update: I fixed it by following this tutorial:


    http://askubuntu.com/questions/593433/error-sudo-add-apt-repository-command-not-found

    Now your command lines worked as well! Thanks for your help, I appreciate it :)
