BURG Menu ubuntu

Burg Manager is an application to easily install Burg (along with the default Burg themes and a Burg emulator) and change most of the Burg settings such as the timeout, download and install new themes, remove Burg and restore Grub 2, set the default operating system and many advanced options.


BURG Manager 1.0 boot ISO

Burg Manager 1.0 has been released today, the major highlights of this release being an option to add an ISO to the BURG menu (and thus boot an ISO - however this doesn't seem to work right now -> see the comments), an option to restore BURG into MBR after a Kernel upgrade and an option to remove old kernels and its menu entries.

Other changes in BURG Manager 1.0 include new themes, option to reset all settings to their default values, a live updated and notificator and bug fixes. Unfortunately the GUI remains a bit unpolished and is almost unusable on a netbook.

Download Burg Manager 1.0


To be able to install Burg Manager 1.0, you'll have to remove any previous version along with configuration files using the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge burg-manager
sudo rm -rf ~/.burg-manager
sudo rm -rf /root/.burg-manager

Then you'll have to download and install BUC. And finally you'll be able to download Burg Manager 1.0 from its author blog and install it.


For a complete how-to on using Burg Manager, see our Install And Configure Burg In Ubuntu With Burg Manager post.



Update November 13: both the BURG Manager and BUC servers seem the be very slow or don't work at all so I've uploaded BURG 1.0 and BUC to some file hosting websites until the BURG Manager / BUC servers issue is fixed:
