entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom not listed in grub menu

[Todd Bradshaw]

windows 7 not found by os_prober so i created a custom entry in 40_custom.

the custom entry does not show up in the grub menu on reboot.

this may be a seperate bug but selecting the "advanced options for ubuntu" menu option starts windows 7.

i see 40_custom was not included so it is attached.

Did you run update-grub after making this change?

[Todd Bradshaw (snooptodd)]

Yes, and the kernel has been upgraded many times since adding the custom entry and the custom entry doesn't show up.

This might be relevant.
I had 12.04 installed before and grub/osprober worked correctly.
I did a clean install of 12.10 and this problem came up. Along with this #1051306 osprober bug.

oops
s/clean install/clean net install/

Your entry should begin with "menuentry" not "setparms".

[Todd Bradshaw (snooptodd)]

ya know I thought that too, but that entry was taken directly from another system that somehow works.
Anyway changing the first line to menuentry "Windows 7" doesn't make it better.

[Todd Bradshaw (snooptodd)]

^ and running sudo update-grub

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

Please attach your /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[Todd Bradshaw (snooptodd)]

/boot/grub/grub.cfg attached

[Phillip Susi (psusi)]

The commands for the menu entry need to be enclosed in curly braces.

[Todd Bradshaw (snooptodd)]

Aww, frack
Thanks
