 +==== Grub Boot Parameters ====
 +
 +  - mount your partition to /mnt (assuming /dev/sda5 is the drive) <code>
 +sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
 +</code>
 +  - Then mount a few more directories that are needed <code>
 +sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
 +sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
 +sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
 +</code>
 +  - Also, if you have a separate Ubuntu boot partition (pretty uncommon these days, but it may be the case) <code>
 +sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/boot
 +</code>
 +  - make your /root drive /mnt <code>
 +sudo chroot /mnt
 +</code>
 +  - make any changes to etc/default/grub <code>
 +sudo nano /etc/default/grub
 +</code>
 +  - run update grub (already chroot, when i tried sudo it gave me some lookup error) <code>
 +update-grub
 +</code>
 +  - exit
 +  - check that /etc/grub/grub.cfg is updated (recent file time)
 +  - reboot
 +  - profit
