How do I configure a boot menu for both Ubuntu server and Kubuntu desktop on same disk?
0
I created two partitions on a 480GB drive.
I installed Ubuntu 18.01.1 live server first using 150 GB. Then I installed Kubuntu 18.10 desktop manually, on the second partition.
I can boot Kubuntu, but not the server.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

installed Kubuntu 18.10 desktop manually? I'm not sure what you mean by this, and I suspect it's your issue. The default installation procedure runsupdate-grubso it's possibly this or equivalent was skipped by not using a normal install mechanism.

Grub can detect few Ubuntu installations, and all them appear in boot menu. Try to update your grub.

Thank you for the feedback. Should I use Boot Repair Disk to do it?

I just tried running 'update-grub' and it found Ubuntu Server. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the menu after I rebooted.
