(Get the code!)

Yeah, I can get the OS Prober to recognize the Fedora volumes by first mounting. However, the GRUB menu will not display them as an option during boot.
I've tried the following, and they do not produce expected results (i.e., no menu entry for Fedora during boot):
# First mount Fedora volume
$ sudo update-grub
and
$ sudo grub-mkconfig
$ sudo grub-install -o /dev/sda
I'm working from memory because I don't want to boot into Ubuntu right now. I've tried the commands above on Ubuntu with grub and grub2 (don't recall which grub works for which command).
Apparently I'm too dumb to figure out how to fix things in Fedora given the exiting documentation. There's nothing special about me, so I imagine there are other folks experiencing the same pain.
All of this could be avoided if (1) Ubuntu fixed the problem; (2) GRUB allowed me to boot to a device (i.e., simply specify /dev/sda6); or (3) or Fedora provided a boot repair disk. As far as I know, we have none of them.
I've literally wasted hours on this. I'm ready to cut my losses and simply let Fedora manage GRUB and booting.
