is there a /etc/grub.d/40_custom.save and a /etc/grub.d/40_custom in ubuntu? If so what is the contents of both?

Code:

user@Lenovo-ideapad-110-17IKB:~$ sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom.save

Code:

!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'fedora config file'{
insmod btrfs
configfile (hd0,4)/grub2/grub.cfg
}

Code:

user@Lenovo-ideapad-110-17IKB:~$ sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'fedora chainload'{
chainloader (hd0,1)/EFI/fedora/grubx64.efi
}

Ok, it worked, thanks. I have one last question: How can I remove the 2nd Fedora entry in BIOS and Boot, as one of them is obsolete?

post output of

Code:

efibootmgr -v |grep fedora

Attempting to see which one to delete. Does both of them work when selected in the bios boot menu?
one of them can be deleted with efibootmgr.
look at

Code:

man efibootmgr

The second is (I think) the rescue kernel that fedora automatically keeps. The first would be the current kernel in fedora.
My fedora install shows similarly.
